Which contest will be tougher for our feral champion of the wilderness to face — the savage, claws-out battle for domination of her jungle home, or the savage, claws-out battle for domination of… the world’s most exclusive girl’s boarding school?

But while you can take the girl out of the jungle, you can’t take the jungle out of the girl — and when Sheena discovers the school’s centennial celebration is the target of a deadly plot, classes won’t be the only things the Queen of the Blackboard Jungle will have to cut!

Featuring an expertly crafted syllabus from instructors WES CLARK JR., STEVEN E. DE SOUZA, and EDIANO SILVA, this exciting new course is sure to bring learning to life!

SDCC 2023: Army of Darkness Gets a Special Sequel!

Posted on by

Over 30 years ago, Sam Raimi’s comedic horror classic Army of Darkness hit theaters, and while fans loved the film, there was an alternate ending that the studio deemed “too pessimistic.” Raimi’s original vision was put aside for a more upbeat S-Mart ending. But now, Dynamite presents a new series from Tony Fleecs and Justin Greenwood that is a direct sequel to how many fans believe the film should’ve ended. Starting this October, Army of Darkness Forever #1 begins to explore what could’ve been.

The story picks up immediately after the events of the beloved film, jumping between three fun timelines. The Techno Army of Darkness of 2093, the S-Mart aisles of 1993, and the middle ages chaos of Castle Kandar, all three get the spotlight in this series. Superstar creator Tony Fleecs, from the best-selling series Stray Dogs and contributions to other franchises like My Little Pony, Gargoyles, returns to the franchise following covers for Army of Darkness vs. Reanimator: Necronomicon Rising. He’s setting out to give fans of Ash Williams the ultimate story they’ve always wanted!

Besides writing the series Fleecs will also be providing covers along with some incredibly talented artists including Francesco Mattina, Arthur Suydam, and Nick Dragotta. Plus, there will be a Blank Authentix cover to allow fans to have their favorite artists draw Ash Williams and some Deadites.

To go along with the new series, Dynamite is releasing an Army of Darkness Movie Adaptation 30th Anniversary Edition and Army of Darkness 30th Anniversary Trading Cards.

The movie adaptation was originally released in 1992, written by brothers Sam and Ivan Raimi, with jaw-dropping painted interiors from John Bolton. The award-winning story is over 80 glorious pages of Ash-ction and the book also features a special interview with Bruce Campbell conducted by comics legend Kurt Busiek.

The trading cards set showcases the best Army of Darkness comic book art and photos, across an 18-card base set, chase cards including 6 signed cards, 9 movie photo cards, 9 line art cards, a 9-card puzzle set, and a special box-topper pack of 3 special cards. Hundreds of exclusive, hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind sketch cards are also included across packs, with a stacked roster of top artists.

Army of Darkness: Forever #1, the Hardcover Film adaptation and the trading cards are slated for release in October 2023.

Sheena Enters Man’s World for… School?!

Posted on by

What happens when you take the girl out of the jungle? Readers will find out in the brand new Sheena: Queen of the Jungle comic series this September from writers Steven. E. De Souza, Wes Clark Jr., and artist Ediano Silva for Final FATAL Exams!

You can take the girl out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the girl. That’s the lesson that society will learn when Sheena must enroll in an elite boarding school for girls. Cardwell Inc. is betting that some formal education will teach their long-lost and “raised by wolves” (and other animals!) scion the niceties and social mores of the civilized world. Could this finishing school enrollment also be a bit of a cover up? As they’re taking her out of her beloved Val Verde rainforest adopted home, giving them the chance to continue relentlessly exploiting it for business!

Sheena is used to the savage, claws-out battle for domination in the jungle. But will she be prepared for the equally treacherous and vicious dynamics of her hyper-competitive classmates? She will need to keep her instincts sharp, as it all goes south when she discovers the school’s centennial celebration is the target of a deadly plot! As the clock ticks down and Sheena races to expose the conspirators, her finishing school may just finish her!

The new Sheena series features a range of gorgeous covers to portray the heroine’s beauty and alluring jungle home. Lucio Parrillo, Joseph Michael Linsner, and Arthur Suydam contribute covers on the first issue. They’re joined by fan-favorite cosplayer Rachel Hollon too!

Sheena: Queen of the Jungle #1 is slated for release in September 2023.
