Kickin' Ash
Okay. Enough is enough...take a cool, interesting concept where Spiderman, Colonel America, The Hulk, The X-men and all the rest of the Marvel Super-heroes turn into zombies (Marvel Zombies), then add in Evil Dead II's Ash Williams and you've got a campy cash-in on two cult classics, right?

WRONG!

Evil Dead II + Marvel Zombies = a prequel to the latter that turns out to be an enjoyable hour of time that surpasses a heck of a lot of the silly movies in the genre that I've sat through in recent times.

Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness is an exceptionally well-done tale of what would happen in parallel universe where some of our favorite super-heroes co-exist with Ash from The Evil Dead movies. What happens? Well, our super-heroes turned zombies encounter a whole lotta boomstick, that's what happens.

This story is extremely well-written, but the creator of Marvel Zombies is reduced to a consulting role and it shows a bit. But it certainly doesn't come between a super-hero sized good time. Although, I'd definitely recommend checking out Kirkman's Marvel Zombies release before delving into this prequel. (Kirkman is also the creator of the awesome Walking Dead series.)

Do you like zombie flicks? Do you enjoy the Marvel super-hero stories? Did you like Evil Dead II? Yes? Then Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness is an excellent, quick read, prequel that you'd be remiss to deprive yourself of.

Check it out.

A new thrill and chill for comic book fans...
A very enjoyable diversion into the (undead) Marvel Universe, Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness serves as a wild ride for the readers. Taking the characters we know and love, Layman, Neves, and Chung delivers them on a blood-soaked platter where the courage and strength of the heroes (and villains) fall to their undying hunger for living flesh.

How can B-Movie hero Ash stand against the hordes of super-powered undead? What (if any) potential allies remain on the dead planet? Read on only if you dare!!!

For a fun trip chock full of zombie gore and mayhem, this GN is a must have for fans.

"Hmmm. Like The Chainsaw..."
After falling through yet another portal in the space-time continuum, Ashley J. Williams, the pugnacious hero of Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" Films, finds himself lying in a dumpster in a parallel NYC where Marvel's Superhero community fights crime on the streets. Receiving forewarning about an impending "deadite" manifestation by a possessed bag-lady, Ash sets out with his trusty chainsaw and double-barreled boomstick to head the deadites off at the pass and show the costumed heroes just how you go about "carving a witch". However, unbeknownst to S-Mart's favourite son, NYC is about to succumb to a far deadlier onslaught of the undead...

Acting concurrently with Marvel Zombies: Dead Days TPB, "Marvel Zombies Vs Army Of Darkness" acts as an expanded prequel to the events of both Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol. 5: Crossover (v. 5) (in which M.Z. first appeared) and Marvel Zombies TPB Spider-Man Cover. Its a highly enjoyable romp which manages to infuse humour, horror and a cracking comic book rendition of Bruce Campbell's "Ash" (He really does come across as as much of horses-ass as I remember from the "Evil Dead" movies and his hard-boiled exchanges with the caped crusaders and villains are highly amusing). A speculative fate-worse-than-death of a talking copy of the "Necronomicon Ex Mortis" at the hands of a zombified Hulk is also highly amusing, as is a brief (but violent) cameo from "Howard The Duck". Indeed, my only gripe with the series overall is that I'd liked to have seen more interplay with "The Punisher" (but being a big "Punisher" fan, I would say that, wouldn't I?).

That said, I imagine that fans of "The Evil Dead", "Marvel Comics" and Zombie films in general will get a chuckle out of this undemanding but highly enjoyable ride through the dead side. I know I did.
