Ash and the Army of Darkness #2

Dynamite's 2013 continuation of Ash's medieval nightmare delivers a hauntingly atmospheric second issue, with Steve Niles and Dennis Calero crafting a cover that sets a genuinely foreboding tone. Ash stands battered and bowed, clutching a sword as an ominous robed figure looms behind him atop a skeletal horse skull — a shadowy, spectral presence that promises things are far from groovy. With a vast army of figures massed in the murky background, this issue looks to put Ash through the wringer in the most satisfying way possible.
