About the author
Bruce Campbell
158 books760 followersBruce Lorne Campbell is an American actor, producer, writer and director. He is best known for his starring role as Ash in the Evil Dead trilogy of horror/slapstick movies, and has since become a B-movie icon.
His acting style is an "over-the-top" machismo that lends itself well to roles such as that of Ash Williams, whom Campbell himself has dubbed "an idiot and a jerk like the rest of us". This style is parodied in the film The Majestic where Campbell appears as Roland the Intrepid Explorer in the B movie Sand Pirates of the Sahara, written by Jim Carrey's screenwriter character. Campbell also excels at "reverse acting", a frequent filming technique of Sam Raimi's where action sequences are filmed in reverse of how they will appear in the film. Campbell offers advice about getting into the film industry on his website.
Campbell is well-known for his trademark sense of humor, which he often couples with deadpan (and somewhat sarcastic) comic delivery.

Quick, fun and of course, groovy. It does what it should. Sure, I'll probably forget about it in a couple weeks, but I needed to see Sgt. Rock vs Nazi Zombies and I got Sgt. Rock vs Nazi Zombies. It served its purpose.
But that's just my opinion. "Now, you can take it, turn it sideways and shove it right up the old poop-shoot," as Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams would say.

Sgt. Rock & Easy Company? Nazi zombies? Written by Bruce Campbell?? Groovy!!

‘You know zombies; bunch of bitchy little girls…’

This was a fast, fun read. Military comics were as popular as superhero comics way back in the day, and I grew up reading about Sgt. Rock's Easy Company and JEB Stuart's haunted tank and Marines who fought dinosaurs as well as the Japanese on lost Pacific islands almost as often as I was reading Metal Men and Superman. Rock's best stories were written by Robert Kanigher and drawn by Joe Kubert, but this one by Bruce Campbell and drawn by Eduardo Risso offers a couple of respectful nods to the original while adding a strong horror element. It's nice to see the combat-happy-joes of Easy still plugging along after all these years.

Even though this would fall under DC's Elseworlds universe it's still a really nice Sgt Rock story. Nice art and a fun read. Very recommended

The infamous Sgt Rock & Easy Company of DC Comics versus an army of goose-stepping Nazi zombies? That's a recipe for a good bit of action-adventure fun that I thoroughly enjoyed. Veteran horror film actor Bruce Campbell scripts this, forgoes much of the character development aside from the essentials, and goes for all-out action every single issue until the climatic showdown with Hitler (who blows up real good).
I read this in the individual monthly issues and look forward to seeing how this looks in hardcover (but I'm not planning to purchase it). I'm not complaining but battle after battle for six full issues is a bit monotonous. I would have liked to see Campbell's take on these characters, but maybe his take is exactly what he's shown us. However, it was a real blast to see the innovative art of Eduardo Risso on a war comic. Plus those Gary Frank/Brad Anderson covers are awesome.

Nothing particularly special, but very entertaining. I'd read a sequel.

Risso's art is a perfect match for a zombie/war mash-up, but - as much as I love Bruce Campbell - the story is kind of a big fat nothing.

Unusual
It's been a while Since I've read Sgt Rock.
Interesting story but the art work is not the same.
Sci Fi story, basically Hitler gives his soldiers a virus to make them zombies. A different take on zombies, not brain dead.
The story is 3 Stars at best. The 4th star is seeing something new about Rock.

This impressed me. I thought with Bruce Campbell as writer it would be a bunch of Evil Dead silliness, but instead this was mostly straight ahead horror. The Risso art was also some of the best I've seen from him.
The title pretty much tells you all you need to know: It's Sgt Rock and Easy Company battling Nazi Zombies. And it's groovy.

Чесно кажучи до нової лімітки про сержанта Рока у мене були деякі занепокоєння. Все таки останні комікси від знаменитостей які я читав були ще тим лайном. І от не знаю чи зіграли тут мої занижені очікування, але "Сержант Рок проти армії мерців" мені сподобався".
Зав'язка серії полягає в тому, що Гітлер вирішує використовувати зомбі оскільки розуміє, що він програє у війні й те, що у нього недостатньо солдатів. Дізнавшись про існування живих мерців сержант Рок та його команда отримують завдання в якому вони повинні знищити їх. І про це вся лімітка, вона розуміє про, що вона і не намагається стрибнути вище голови, в результаті ми 6 номерів спостерігаємо за боротьбою героїв із зомбі, бонусом у нас тут у фіналі вийшла досить прикольна сутичка між Роком та зомбі Гітлером. Щодо малюнку Ріссо то він мені тут сподобався, як на мене він вийшов досить атмосферним, однак розумію, що деяких читачів він може відлякати.
Загалом дуже рекомендую прочитати цю лімітку. Сподіваюся, що Брюс Кембелл ще щось напише, благо комікс закінчився з натяком на можливе продовження.

Risso is a great artist, very stylish. Campbell is obviously well versed in zombie or the living dead stories and was a fun choice to write this story.
This is a zombie Hitler story, reminds me of COD zombies. Same level of violence and similar zombies that have enough brains to do more than just limp around. If you enjoy zombie stories this is a fun one, not a game changer but a fun and quick read.

Very satisfying. You never know what to expect when they let a celebrity write a book, but once again Bruce delivers the goods. Risso's artwork is fantastic, as are all the variant covers.

DC Horror is a special horror comic book imprint from DC Comics, designed to attract fans of horror and thrillers. Unfortunately, DC Horror turned out to be a disappointment for me. Of the two titles I read (including The Low, Low Woods, which debuted under the Hill House Comics imprint), one left me underwhelmed, and the other downright disgusted me. (Yes, I’m talking to you, The Soul Plumber.)
Still, I wanted to give another comic from this initiative a try, third time's the charm, as they say. So I picked up Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead, written by Bruce Campbell and illustrated by Eduardo Risso. With a duo like that, how could it possibly go wrong, right?
Let me clear things up quickly: this comic hasn’t changed my overall opinion of the DC Horror line. However, I have to admit, it had its moments. But what’s the story about?
The comic is a B-movie style tale about a secret Nazi weapon. Allied intelligence discovers that the Nazis have developed a serum capable of bringing the dead back to life. The reanimated soldiers are used to patch holes in their dwindling defense lines. Easy Company, led by Sergeant Rock, is sent in to shut down the twisted experiment once and for all.
Yes, the premise sounds absurd zombies, Nazis, secret super weapons, but surprisingly, it kind of works. The zombie Nazis scream in German, and their lines are left untranslated, which adds to the strange and surreal atmosphere. The final issue stands out in particular, delivering an over the top, battle that brings the comic’s absurdity to a satisfying peak. From beginning to end, the story sticks to its self-imposed tone of pulpy nonsense and never tries to masquerade as serious horror. Bruce Campbell set out to write an exaggerated, comic book style war horror, and he saw that vision through with consistency. The tone stays light and never takes itself seriously, with Easy Company coming off like a cast of classic war movie heroes laid back, sarcastic, and full of charm.
Unfortunately, the comic has one major flaw that ultimately brings it down: it’s completely forgettable. It’s the kind of story that’s entertaining while you’re reading it but vanishes from memory the moment you close the book. There are no standout scenes worth revisiting, no characters that leave a lasting impression. Even Sergeant Rock himself is little more than a generic 80s-style tough guy. We learn next to nothing about him beyond what’s stated up front. All the characters feel like placeholders, figures you could swap out with anyone from a dozen other action flicks and no one would notice.
While the story fades quickly, Eduardo Risso’s art is much harder to forget. His exaggerated facial expressions and stylized bodies perfectly match the comic’s absurd narrative. The simplified backgrounds and bold use of shadow make it feel like a deliberate homage to B-movie aesthetics, cheap, but with purpose. His panel compositions are especially strong, using cinematic techniques like close-ups, cuts, and contrasts to guide the story like a skilled film director.
That said, one visual choice didn’t sit well with me: the covers. The individual issue covers and the trade paperback cover were done by someone else entirely, and the difference is jarring. While Risso’s interiors are stylized and gritty, the covers are far more realistic and even heroic like they belong to a completely different comic. This kind of mismatch can set the wrong expectations for readers. I understand covers are meant to sell the book, but ideally, they shouldn’t misrepresent the tone of what’s inside.
Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead is light entertainment for one evening. It’s fun in the moment, but leaves little impact afterward. It’s not the kind of horror I’m looking for, it lacks depth, suspense, and any real sense of surprise. But if you’re a fan of campy, B-grade horror, you’ll probably feel right at home with this one.

It’s the closing stages of the war in Europe and Hitler’s running out of soldiers. The solution? Reanimating dead soldiers to fight once more - but not if Sgt. Rock and Easy Company has anything to say about it!
Bruce “The Chin” Campbell is the latest Hollywood actor to make a foray into comics with a WW2 horror comic along the lines of his most famous movies, Evil Dead and Army of Darkness: Sgt. Rock vs The Army of the Dead.
Who doesn’t like Bruce Campbell? The guy’s a living legend - and that chin? Phwoar. Still, even though I wanted to, I didn’t love his comic. It’s just generic US GI characters effortlessly gunning down Nazi zombies one issue after another without much variation or tension as to the outcome - it’s very one-note throughout.
Joining Campbell is Eduardo Risso, whose art is excellent and suitably gory. The covers are fantastic too. In the same way that he drew Superman as Christopher Reeve, Gary Frank draws Sgt. Rock to look like a young Bruce Campbell, which is great, and Francesco Francavilla’s covers are having fun riffing on horror b-movies.
The comic delivers on the title - it really is just Sgt. Rock (and Easy Company) vs an army of the dead - but that alone wasn’t enough for me. The endless action got mundane and drearily repetitive very quickly, and ultimately doesn’t make for much of an interesting read - Sgt. Rock vs The Army of the Dead didn’t rock my world.

Powiem tak: widząc autora, wziąłem spory haust powietrza. Evil Dead. Proszę bardzo. Tutaj też jest truposzy od groma. Szkoda tylko, że pomysł jest mało oryginalny i mocno zaczerpnięty z serii gier Zombie Army, stanowiącej odprysk serii Sniper Elite. Miałem wrażenie, że autor nawet za mocno się zainspirował.
Oto schyłek wojny. Hitler nie ma już za bardzo zasobów ludzkich do wysyłki na front, więc sięga po zmarłych. W końcu logiczne. Raz zginąłeś za Fatherland! To zginiesz i drugi! Jawohl! Wszystko to w otoczce ołowiu, benzyny i masy niszczonej materii nieożywionej. Fabuła jest prosta, wypełniona akcją. Zresztą wizualne przeważają tu ramki bez dialogów, a niszczenie zombie jest clue widowiska.
Widowiska mocno średniego pod względem kreski i miałkiego. Tytuł nie jest niczym odkrywczym, a załatwienie "kwestii Fuhrera" pozostaje chyba najlepszym elementem tych przygód sgt. Rocka. A mógł zostać pochowany pod gruzem. Nie martwcie się jednak - ciąg dalszy nastąpi. O zgrozo.

February 29, 2024How had I not registered that Bruce Campbell (yes, as in "Groovy!") and Eduardo Risso had done a miniseries about Easy Company fighting Nazi zombies? Yes, I know there are people with understandable ethical objections to the whole Nazi zombie trope - but on the other hand, was there ever a foe whose gruesome demise one could so uncomplicatedly cheer? Well, senior live Nazis, obviously - and bless them, they throw in a bit of that as a bonus! So no, this isn't in the same nuanced arena as a John Wagner or Garth Ennis war comic, and even labelling it as a horror book is borderline (especially given the improbably low casualties among our heroes), but for gung-ho exploding undead fascist thrills, it delivers.

The Year is 1944 and Germany is on the verge of losing the War. Hitler has created a army of the undead to turn the tide of the war. It's up to Sgt. Rock and Easy Company to stop the Nazis. The artwork was okay, I enjoyed the story by Bruce Campbell who is a Film legend and appeared in films like the cult classic Evil Dead Series and tv series in both Hercules The Legendary Journeys to Zena Warrior Princess.
This is Campbell's debut as a Comic book writer and does a good job. This story centers on ordinary people who overcomes adversity from tough obstacles and that not all heroes wear costumes, their courage, determination, and strong will are their superpowers. I recommend the book and you won't be disappointed.

Bruce si prostě přemítl všechny zkušenosti z béčkových filmů na kterých dělal a dal je do akční řežby během druhé světové války. Je tu hromada gore, cheesy hlášky a drsný Seržant Rock s jeho kůl doutníkem. Nic víc to není, jen prostě zábavný béčko s nacistickými zombíky a svižným tempem. Pochvalu ale musí dostat i krom zábavného scénáře-který dobře využívá všemožné klišé-, hlavně výtečná a atmosferická kresba Eduarda Rissa, jak já toho borce zase rád vidím v komiksu. Tohle je prostě poctivá žánrovka, která utekla jak nic a bavila od začátku do konce. Škoda jen místy zkratkovitého děje a ne moc velkého vžití se do kůže hlavních hrdinů.

This has everything I love. War, zombies, great art so why the low stars? I don’t like swearing and I really don’t like it when it does nothing to service the story. I expect to find this stuff in a DC Black Label book but this didn’t have anything on the cover to suggest this fell under that. Granted there is a very small print Ages 17+ on the barcode.
Regardless the swearing did nothing to add anything to the story. The first four issues had 1 random word in each issue that felt as awkward as a 12 year old during his first slow dance. The last two issues ramped up the swearing. Almost like DC’s ‘Hip Editor’ was low on his quota for the month.

Quickest of quick reads. Nothing fancy. Super entertaining.
Zombies have been the 'thing' for awhile now. Luckily, this eschews the typical brain eating rotfest for a hard to kill undead that can take gunshots to the head. I'm not sure how much Bruce Campbell wrote of this. It could entirely be a ghost written piece. Whatever the case, if you want a quick little zombie story with some gore and LOVE some classic DC WWII Sgt. Rock, then hop in the Jeep and let's go.

Bonus: Hitler's pill popping EXPLAINED!

I generally like the “weird war” genre, but I’m not sure that this was right for a Sgt. Rock story. I like the basic premise, but everything was too over the top for Sgt. Rock. I think of the characters of Sgt. Rock and Easy Company as being a bunch of regular guys who get through tough situations with bravery and resourcefulness. While exagerrated, the stories are basically plausible. This book kind of turns them into a team of high tech special forces types. It didn’t feel quite right to me.

Can the Chin write a comic tale? Yes he3 can quite well. Sergeant Rock and Easy Company get a darn good story from actor Bruce Campbell and artist Eduardo Risso. The story is fun and fast and yet still allows for character, I would expect nothing less from Campbell. The art is a little dark for parts of the story but is still amazing to look at as Risso is still a fantastic artist. Easy Company, Zombies and Hitler are sure to make a great read and they do.

Groovy
When unusually hard to stop Nazi soldiers show up the Easy Company is called to action. Since the Nazis have left a stain on human history with their atrocities they have been a staple in many works of fiction when absolutely evil villainy is necessary. Of course regular Nazis are not always the villain of the day considering Hitler's fascination with the occult, human experimentation, and advances of technology making it possible to create this story where the enemy figures out how to re-animate the dead. Then there is the fact that B movie superstar, Bruce Campbell, helped create this book which will probably be a major selling point for his fans but I can assure you all that this is not only an action packed war story with supernatural elements but the artwork is pretty nice considering how gritty the theme is and has interesting characters/humor to keep the story from becoming to dark.

The artwork ranged from excellent at times as the artist strove to emulate the style of Rock's most famous penciller, Joe Kubert, to so-so.
The story was likewise. Good premise, some outstanding moments and some baffling ones. Once again, no character states the obvious - destroy the head! Several learn the lesson but don't seem inclined to share it with others in need. Some unnecessary foul language but not constant.

It's a quick read. As you could expect, Campbell puts the action first. BTW, these aren't your typical zombies. These Nazis are undead but still retain their brains and memories, they are just extremely hard to kill. They can even take a head shot unless it takes the whole thing off. Eduardo Rizzo really gets an opportunity to shine here with all of the crazy, balls out action.
November 26, 2023
Insanely forgettable, about 3 lines of dialogue per page none of which are funny or elevate tired material. I expected genuine humour and outlandish ideas coming from Bruce Campbell, but it was all so flat and forgettable.
Wrong artist for this kind of book to,great at the character work but kind of weak at the action, gore and horror of it all
Shame

Eh, it was fine? Almost certainly something I would have liked a few decades back. Nothing really stands out as bad for me, plotwise...just a fairly bog standard Nazi zombie story.
I did enjoy the art, though. The style reminded me a lot of some horror anime, strangely enough. Specifically, Hellsing Ultimate. Something about the way both handle teeth, I think.
