Trailer For The ARMY OF DARKNESS Comic Book Sequel ARMY OF DARKNESS FOREVER
A couple of months ago we learned that Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness was getting a comic book sequel titled Army of Darkness Forever, which picks up with both the original ending of Army of Darkness and the series finale of Ash vs. Evil Dead. The story takes place across three timelines.
Today we’ve got a first-look trailer to share with you that teases the epic story that the comic will tell. The story picks up “immediately after the events of the beloved film, jumping between three fun timelines. The Techno Army of Darkness of 2093, the S-Mart aisles of 1993, and the middle ages chaos of Castle Kandar, all three get the spotlight in this series.”
The comic comes from Superstar creator Tony Fleecs, from the best-selling series Stray Dogs and contributions to other franchises like My Little Pony and Gargoyles, returns to the franchise following covers for Army of Darkness vs. Reanimator: Necronomicon Rising. “He’s setting out to give fans of Ash Williams the ultimate story they’ve always wanted!”
Writer Tony Fleecs previously said: “It’s one of the great, all-time alternate takes. Instead of Ash ending up back in 1990s Michigan, fighting Deadites at S-Mart, he wakes up 100 years after the end of the world in 2093. I remember the first time I saw it on DVD, my mind just exploding at the possibilities. Ash vs. the post-apocalypse?! But then the theatrical ending has that iconic action scene and last line: Hail to the King, baby.’ So, you don’t want to lose that either.”
The sequel’s release also celebrates the 30th anniversary of the original film’s theatrical release. Army of Darkness Forever #1 releases on October 11th, 2023 from Dynamite Entertainment. This is gonna be a great read! I’m looking forward to it!
