Ash and The Army of Darkness

  So, a few weeks ago I started reading a really awesome comic book series called "Ash and The Army of Darkness". The books are written by Steve Niles (you may know some of his other works, most notably "30 Days of Night") and illustrated by Dennis Calero (books 1-5, 6-8 are illustrated by Nacho Tenorio). It is a great series, that picks up right where the movie "Army of Darkness" ended, and sends Ash back to the medieval times on another adventure against the Deadites. What I really liked about the books was the fact that Niles kept the characters true to the movie. Ash, the legendary character made famous by Bruce Campbell, talks and acts like he did in the movies. It's a great read, it's horror and it's a bit comedic, just like Sam Rami's film.

  If your a comic book fan, I recommend this series. If your a horror or Army of Darkness fan, I recommend this series. Seriously, check out these books!

  Oh yeah, if you're in Austin, go to Austin Books and Comics!! This is the best comic book store in Central Texas and Steve Niles lives where?? That's right, in Austin! I went in to ABC this past Sunday to get the books I was missing for the "Ash and The Army of Darkness" series, and stumbled on books 1 and 2 of the series signed by Steve Niles! Apparently he frequents ABC a lot, and he will come through and autograph some of his work on the shelves! So, I bought books 1 and 2 again, but it's worth it to have an autographed copy of both!
