Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama

In 2009, Dynamite Entertainment unleashed a delightfully absurd four-issue miniseries that pits the chainsaw-handed hero Ash Williams against a time-traveling threat to the very fabric of American history. Written with the franchise's signature blend of slapstick horror and one-liners, the story sends Ash on a mission to rescue a young Barack Obama from supernatural forces, with artist Todd Nauck bringing the chaos to life in kinetic, expressive detail. A playful entry in the long-running Army of Darkness comic saga, this series stands out for its unabashedly silly premise and its willingness to drop the Deadite-fighting everyman into a politically charged, time-hopping adventure.
