As a bonus to our ARMY OF DARKNESS episode, we’re cracking open the Necronomicon one more time to talk about the wild and often ridiculous world of Army of Darkness comic books.
Since the early 2000s, Ash Williams has been battling Deadites across time, space, and intellectual property in a sprawling series of comics from Dynamite Entertainment and beyond. In this episode, we take a look at the many iterations of Ash in print — from crossovers with Re-Animator, Xena, and Hack/Slash, to multiverse-spanning events, time travel shenanigans, and even a team-up with Barack Obama.
We’re not doing a full deep dive, but we’ll hit the highlights, the weirdest storylines, and what these comics reveal about the enduring cult appeal of Raimi’s chainsaw-wielding antihero.
