The Army of Darkness: 1979 #2

Ash Williams has rarely looked this battered — the cover of Army of Darkness: 1979 #2 plunges viewers right into the chaos, with a bloodied, grimacing Ash surging forward through a crimson storm while a monstrous clawed hand reaches in from above. Francesco Mattina's painted artwork gives the whole image a visceral, almost cinematic intensity that fits the franchise perfectly. If you're following Ash's late-'70s deadite troubles, this 2021 Dynamite entry delivers a cover that makes a strong case for picking it up.
