Eric Henson's Profile

A nice first issue that successfully builds on the momentum of its prelude, this issue has a bit more action and a pinch more wit than last month's entry. It also does a solid job of moving forward to develop its own characters and voice--relying less on previous incarnations of the Evil Dead films and setting up fresh stakes and more outlandish threats than expected.

With a beautiful cover from the ever so detail-oriented Nick Bradshaw and fluid, expressive interior art by Mauro Vargas, this issue boasts a tone that is spot-on with the film that spawned it while still offering a fresh take on the world of the Deadites. The crisp, well paced dialogue combined with fun visual storytelling makes Ash vs the Army of Darkness #0 undeniably "groovy"!
