Ash and the Army of Darkness #8

Dynamite's Ash and the Army of Darkness #8 presents a haunting cover image that says it all: a lone figure — torch in one hand, sword in the other — stands at the center of what appears to be a massive skeletal hand, its stone-like fingers rising around him while deadites and rotting undead creatures crowd every edge of the darkness beyond. The stark crimson glow against the black surroundings gives the scene a genuinely eerie, atmospheric weight that horror fans will appreciate. With Steve Niles scripting and Nacho Tenorio bringing the visuals to life, this 2014 Dynamite entry delivers the kind of outnumbered-but-defiant energy that makes Ash such an enduring figure in horror comics.
