It's the Army Of Darkness, again!
This seems to be an attempt to take all of the Army Of Darkness stories I've read recently and do all of them at once. Told in three parallel timelines, we see Sheila tackling what's left of the Evil Dead back in her time, a curent day Ash possessed by his evil self, and an Ash lost in the far flung future overrun with Deadites. It's a decent story, but it's nothing that I haven't seen done with Ash and the AoD in other stories. I suppose that's the issue with constantly just going back to the end of Army Of Darkness and starting fresh - we just keep getting the same things.
The art's also a little roughshod. The proportions get a little screwy at times, and there are some odd looking faces here and there that kinda took me out of the action.
Probably great if you haven't read any other Army Of Darkness comics, but otherwise just another retread of what we've seen before, at least so far. The second half of the story might surprise me.

The premise is kind of genius, as it makes it so that both endings of Army of Darkness are "true." It's just that it was Bad Ash in the S-Mart ending, which fits well with the editing. In this continuity, the events in the cabin happened 1993 (the year the Army of Darkness film had its wide release), so Good Ash wakes up in 2093. The medieval parts are shown to be 1300, though, so I'm not sure how that all works with the one drop being one century deal. Also, in this version, Ted Raimi's character is indeed named Ted, and the woman from the ending is named Jenny, the same name as Ash's girlfriend in the video games. The future tech is admittedly kind of generic, and things in 1993 get weird with internet stuff. I was surprised that this volume ended on a cliffhanger, as I didn't realize how many issues there were. So I guess I'm waiting for volume 2.

Funny and a great hypothetical continuation of the franchise
Both in story but in spirit as well. Props to Fleecs for keeping the same heart as the original movies.
Now I just gotta read the rest
8/10

This is such a fun continuation beyond Army of Darkness with three different timelines and whacky, gory hijinx in each one!

I know the bar is pretty low, but this is definitely one of the better Army of Darkness comics. I actually enjoyed reading it.

A solid continuation of where the director's cut of Army of Darkness left off. It takes place in three different time periods with Sheila still back in the past fighting deadites, Evil Ash back in 1993 wreaking havoc in S-Mart and Ash stuck in the future. It does end on a cliffhanger so we'll see how the back half of this winds things up. I do wish this license wasn't separated so we could just continue on from the end of the TV show.
