Army of Darkness: Shop Till You Drop Dead, Trade Paperback #[nn]

Ash Williams is back, and the Evil Dead has followed him straight to the fluorescent-lit aisles of a convenience store — the cover captures him crouched and battle-ready between refrigerated soda cases and snack shelves, his mechanical hand raised and a weapon at the ready, clearly not here for a late-night snack run. There's a darkly comic delight in transplanting this horror-comedy hero into such a mundane retail setting, and the detailed painted-style artwork gives the whole scene a gritty, unsettling atmosphere that works beautifully. This 2007 Dynamite Entertainment trade collects the "Shop Till You Drop Dead" arc, with writing by Jim Kuhoric and art by Nick Bradshaw — a fine starting point for fans who want their chainsaw-armed S-Mart employee in a freshly absurd new nightmare.
