Some of Dynamite‘s earliest hit comics star the one and only Ash Williams of Army of Darkness and Dr. Herbert West of Reanimator – and now they’re going toe to toe once more for a summer blockbuster by Erik Burnham and Eman Casallos! Their first bestselling and out of print crossover is going back to press and shelves in time for the new story.
An archaeological dig unexpectedly unveils an important artifact from the world of Army of Darkness. Great find!

More than 15 years after their last tangling, Dynamite is upping the ante in the new series. The original crossover was written by James Kuhoric and drawn by star Sanford Greene. After two miniseries kicked off the Army of Darkness comics – and Dynamite’s comics as a whole – Ash and Dr. West opened up the first ongoing AOD title to the acclaim of fans and critics.
To commemorate that story and the new one, Dynamite is also reprinting that bestselling graphic novel. Long out of print, readers can pick up the original at the same time to dig into a duo of classics, old and new.
Army of Darkness Versus Reanimator is guaranteed to feature plenty of excitement, Deadite action, and glowing reanimation serum! Plus a set of horrific covers to kick off the mood before page one. Superstar Tony Fleecs leads the pack with the first of several inspiring takes on the AOD franchise. Christopher Mitten, Arthur Suydam, and Stuart Sayger also contribute great horror inspired covers.
