Ash is all set to become the prophecised one until Mr Blackwell and his Disciples of the Destroyer though a spanner into the works by sending KISS to the Army Of Darknesses time. With KISS gone the gig is cancelled so Ash and his main squeeze never see the show and never make it to the cabin in the woods and his appointment with the Necronomicon. But time doesn't like to be played with and tries to reset the timeline. Ash loses his hand in a bizarre accident and, later, with a little help, is sent through a portal to his destiny - but he arrives a few days too late and the Army Of Darkness has won the war against the King and the Kingdom. Can the timeline be rectified? Who will win the battle between KISS, Ash and the Deadites?



The writers do a great job of weaving the differences together to give the reader an Army Of Darkness story, full of excitement and humour. This would have been so easy to mess up and upset both or either KISS or AOD fans, but it works... kind of... There are a few things that niggle at me, such as Ash's hand. I think this could have been handled differently and so as to reincorporate his chainsaw - "Groovy". Also, the character of Julie appears to only be there as a way to get Ash back to his destiny. Unfortunately, this smacked a little of need. Though she may have been in the original KISS Story where they got their supernatural powers from The Destroyer. This would make it a little stronger, but it doesn't seem that way.



These are the only things that bugged me. The artwork is strong and adds atmosphere to the story. This is well worth a read if you're a comic book lover - it doesn't hurt to be a KISS or an Army Of Darkness fan either.
