This was okay, but not great.
This ha-ha, nudge-nudge, wink-wink crossover between the newly minted "Marvel Zombies" franchise and the older, darker "Evil Dead" series has its moments, but overall I found it only so-so. I loved "Evil Dead 2" and even, to a lesser extent, the other movies in the series. Seeing it adapted for the comicbook medium is less satisfying -- if you're not actually looking at Bruce Campbell the actor playing the character of Ash, it just ain't the same. The real payoff comes on the Marvel side of the fence -- this book shows us (from Ash's perspective) what happened when the zombie virus hit Earth, and how Earth's Mightiest all got infected. There is much splattering and chomping and Dr. Doom makes a last stand for humanity. Overall, this book is okay, and it compliments the other books in the series, but the series-crossover comedic schtick does get in the way most of the time. I'd rather have seen a straight-up story about Marvel Zombies: Ground Zero, or whatever.
Score: 3

RUBBISH!
I enjoyed both the original, and Dead Days. This however, sucked on all levels. Poor art, Poor story, Pure RUBBISH!
Score: 1

Not very memorable, but fun!
Ash meets the Marvel Zombie Universe and pretty much lets them destroy themselves, he's just along for the ride, as he passes through their dimension.
This is a fun read, but really has no memorable moments. The art, however, is great! I'm always disappointed by comics that have great cover art but lame interiors, but this was a pleasant surprise.
I haven't been interested in any other Marvel Zombie books, but the AOD factor was enough to make me pick this one up.
Buy it if you like pointless crossovers.
Score: 4

Not so sure I liked this one very much...
***Warning, A little bit of spoiler info in the review
I liked Marvel Zombies, I thought it was a really cool idea that deserved my attention. And I love Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 2) a lot. I thought the cross would be double fun. However, I found myself being a little disappointed in the end. The art was fantastic, but the whole story felt a little cheesy (which I do understand is what makes AoD good) and unfinished with very little explanation as to how the virus even found its way to earth. There were even parts of the story where you can really tell the authors ran out of ideas and just started taking short cuts and making crap up. For instance: the part where Ash needed a diversion to get to the ship to make it to Doom's castle and the zombie children were in the way. The authors just made up a team of somebodies as a diversion then said they were brutal taken out off page. I laughed pretty hard, but realized this was just part of the easy way out mentality of the authors. If I had started reading this story with no expectations I probably would have liked it a lot more. But I read Marvel Zombies first, then this one, so I expected a better back story and a little more serious storyline with Ash's off humor as an added bonus. If I could do it over again I would have read this one first then Marvel Zombies, I think I would have found the 2 graphic novels much better in that order.
Score: 3
