Review: Death to the Army of Darkness #5

Ash has been itching to sever his bond to the Necronomicon So he takes it to the local Community College occult professor who reads from the book blood but instead of steering the bond it actually sent divides Ash“s soul into fragments known as Team Ash. Flinging them into any nearby object. Which consists of a mirror fragment a dog, the chainsaw some skull and bones and a woman which will now be known as Team Ash.

So it turns out that the Necronomicron, That has been in all the movies and comics and TV shows is nothing but a copy that in order to severe the curse Ash is going to have to destroy the tree from which the Necronomicon came from. So, team ash travels to the cabin in the Woods to say the Incantation Only for them to be transported to ancient Egypt. just this luck would have it they traveled there right after the historical Curse of the Pharaohs. Team Ash are now on a mission to goe up against a cult called the Deadites and find the source of their power to remove the Curse of the Pharaohs.

Their mission leads them to the front door of a Castle resembling the doomed Castle Cronenberg, where they are immediately attacked by an army of the dead. Eventually the whole team gets separated so that the Deadites can work on their psyches individually, and tempt them . But the theme is all the same as that the team must sacrifice Ash. So, the big question of book is the fact that team ash is a bunch of fragments of ash himself so will be individually sacrificed ash mean in order to achieve what they want individually.

The art by Jacob Edgar and colors by Kike J diaz, though cartoonish do bring the Gore Anne the terror that should be in an army of darkness book at no time was I turned off by the images and in fact everything was enhanced threefold I like the cliffhanger I’m definitely going to return for issue #5 of The Army Of Darkness .

Army of Darkness is my favorite time traveling zombie property, and it feels like the creative team is adding on to the lore in a meaningful way.

4 out of 5 stars.Â
