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.

A cheap (expensive?) marketing crossover
The original Marvel Zombies miniseries was clever, and built on the storyline begun in Ultimate Fantastic Four. This mini-series just continues the gorefest without adding anything new to the Marvel aspect. The inclusion of Ash was somewhat intriguing at first, but everyone reading this story knows nothing will happen to him. We also know every Marvel character will end up dead. I bought this book because my son enjoys the Zombie storyline, and is a big fan of "Army of Darkness". I suppose the best thing to say about this story is that it is better to have read it than to wonder if it is any good. Sadly, the ending takes that away, as well.
