Is ARMY OF DARKNESS FOREVER #6 Good?
In the preceding issue, Future Ash embarked on a mission to gather all the pages of the Necronomicon with the guidance of a holographic wiseman. Meanwhile, in the 1300s, Sheila discovers the spreading evil and seeks help from Lord Arthur, who is also corrupted. The timelines begin to converge as Evil Ash’s plans unfold in 1993.
In ARMY OF DARKNESS FOREVER #6, Future Ash retrieves the final page from the charred remains of the cabin but is met with an unexpected twist when the book transforms into a demon baby. In the present, Ash, infected by Evil Ash, orchestrates chaos with miniature ashes, while Sheila seeks aid from Duke Henry. The intertwining timelines hint at a grander scheme unfolding.
This issue serves as a sequel to the 1993 film “Army of Darkness,” continuing the storyline immediately after the events of the movie. It aims to expand upon the film’s narrative and characters, providing a deeper exploration of the universe.
