Death To The Army of Darkness was a five-issue miniseries released by Dynamite Entertainment in 2020. Written by Ryan Parrott and featuring art by Jacob Edgar, it was the first "solo" Army of Darkness title that was not part of a crossover or a one-shot since 2017's Ash Vs. The Army of Darkness series.
Plot Synopsis[]
(From Official Press Release): Picking up just barely after the legendary Army of Darkness film, the big mixup is of course due to some classic bad translation of the Necronomicon. Introducing the cast… Ash is joined by the personification of his feminine side with Ashley Williams, Lil’ Ash, Dash aka Doggie Ash, the cynical and morose Skeleton Ash and Chainy – Ash’s now sentient chainsaw!
Together they must travel through time to Ancient Egypt and prevent the Necronomicon from ever being written in the first place. Along the way, can Ash solve his split personality predicament – and how would the others feel about that? Could one of the party members be hiding something? Fans will just have to read to find out!

- Issues three, four, and five were all delayed by several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- This series was involved with three different variant cover "events" (which spanned several Dynamite Entertainment titles) during it's publication:
- Issue one (published in February) featured a special "Valentine's Day" cover.
- Issue two was part of a series of "Zombie" themed covers, with Ash fighting a zombified Vampirella.
- Issues one and two had "Icon" covers, which reused previously published artwork (both coming from Army of Darkness: Ashes 2 Ashes #1).
- Some of the variant covers published in this series are homages to various iconic comic book covers:
- Ken Haeser's cover of issue one is an homage to Justice League #1 (1987).
- Sebastian Piriz's "Valentine's Day" cover (also from issue one) pays homage to The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21.
- Issue three's "vertical" cover by Adam Gorham is a reference to Spider-Man #16 (1991).
- Juan Gedeon's variant for issue four is an homage to Jim Lee's interior artwork from X-Men #7 (1991).
- The "Cover Gallery" section featured in the back of issue four misspells Jim Lee's name as "Jime Lee".
- The issue five cover drawn by Stephen Mooney pays homage to the "10th Anniversary Edition" cover of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
