Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness

Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness is my first horror themed comic book, first crossover between Marvel and another company, and my first in the Evil Dead franchise. The limited series takes place early on in the then recently created Marvel Zombies story set in a universe where a zombie virus affects nearly all of its version of superheroes. Having been chucked out of Heaven, Ash Williams lands in a version of the Marvel Universe wherein he must fend off against heroes who have been turned into zombies. With some help from the likes of Spider-Man, Punisher, Scarlett Witch, and even Doctor Doom, Ash has to figure out whether the virus is due to the Necronomicon or something else entirely and whether it can be cured. The crossover does mostly a good job at balancing the Marvel heroes' and Ash's different personalities. As this version of Ash is the same from his own comic book series, he's written very similar to how Bruce Campbell portrayed him in the movies. One problem, though, is how he ogles and lear at many of the female heroes, which could have been limited. Still, the artwork and writing do a great job at presenting both terror and humor when flesh eating zombies are involved. The gore is over the top and fun, and the ways some of the zombie heroes are killed off are inventive. Unlike many other crossovers, Marvel and Dynamite created a story that could easily fit in the middle of their continuities and expand on them. Horror is one of the most fun and imaginative genres, and Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness proves that. Over all: 100%
