Army of Darkness (1992 Comic) Review

==The Story==

It’s the [[Army of Darkness]] movie word for word as told from Ash’s perspective. I say word for word, but it makes a few changes by including sequences that were deleted from the final film, such as the Ash and Sheila love scene, Ash riding over to Henry The Red’s territory, and the alternate ending where Ash finds himself in a dystopian future. Perhaps the most memorable comic-exclusive sequence is shortly after Ash escapes the pit, and The Wise Man tells him that the Necronomicon can send him home and a Deadite woman stirring a cauldron attacks. Instead of some room inside the castle as seen in the final film, the scene plays out in the ruins of a temple (perhaps a church?) and the Deadite knocks over the crumbling pillars surrounding them and creates a domino-like effect. This scene was included in the original “Army” script, storyboards, and even went as far as a miniature model of the temple built, but when it came time to build the life size set for the actors, it was too expensive to build and the scene was rewritten into the one we know it today. Besides the temple scene, the comic doesn’t show us anything that we can’t find in the deleted scenes section of our special edition DVDs or the Blu-Ray copies of Army of Darkness, although it is interesting to hear Ash’s inner-monologue as he goes on this adventure, one of my favorite “thoughts” of Ash’s being a bit of a fourth wall break as the winged Deadites grab Sheila: “Hey, if I was as fast as ''The Flash'', I woulda had my own stinkin’ comic book!”
