Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness - this is a 5-issue mini series that stars Bruce Campbell Ash from the Evil Dead series of movies. Ash winds up in a universe very similar to the Marvel 616 universe… except in this universe a lot of the Marvel super-heroes have been turned into zombies! Super zombies! This story is absolutely worthless to anyone not familiar with the M.U. and probably (to a lesser extent) Evil Dead. But if you’re a fan of both Marvel and Mr. Campbell, you could spend an evening on a lot less hilarious fare. A lot of the humor is just in the art itself, how some of the super heroes and villains look in zombie form. But there’s also some really funny dialog in most of the issues. The story actually starts off kind of slow but by issue 5 i had a big ass grin on my face and the ending was very satisfying. Was it predicable? Sort of but not quite in the way I expected. And the bits with Ash and Dr. Doom were worth the price of admission alone. As I said, a lot of the humor requires prior knowledge of the characters and events from M.U. and E.D. so give this a pass if that doesn’t fit you, but if it does, as Zombie Le Peregrine would say, bon apetite! 8/10
