Publishers Blurb:
He’s faced them all, but Ashley J. Williams is about to face the greatest horror of his entire deadite-kickin’ career – a comic book convention! But this ain’t any ol’ comic book convention, this one features a special appearance from the president of the United States of America – Barack Obama! How do things go from there when Ash and Obama are in the same place at the same time? And did we happen to mention that the Necronomicon is there doing the thing it does best – turning ordinary humans into the demon possessed undead!
This special Army of Darkness mini-series event is written by Elliott (Army of Darkness/Xena) Serrano, illustrated by Ariel Padilla and features covers by Todd (Amazing Spider-Man) Nauck and TBD!
Reviewer Comments:
Despite the tediousness with all of this Obama nonsense in comic books, this was actually a decent read.
This first issue was really nothing special. It sort of dragged on a little bit. However there were some fun aspects to Elliot Serrano’s writing. It all went pretty slow until the end, where everything just seemed to happen at once, leaving us with a bit of a cliff hanger. The book lacked action, but it wasn’t really missed if I tell you the truth. I have a feeling that there’ll be plenty of action in the next issue. I was left wanting to read on to the next issue, if nothing else but just to see where this is going.
Ariel Padilla’s artwork is pretty good, technically speaking, although nothing special, if I’m honest. It was maybe even slightly boring. However that could be due to the lack of action within the book. Not the artist’s fault.
The colors were done by Rael Sidharta (the colourist for the army of darkness series). He did a decent job on this. Yet again, I wasn’t really impressed by it.
Over all I would say that this wasn’t as bad as I’d though it would be. However it wasn’t amazing by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn’t pay for this book. But I would gladly read it for free. If you know what I mean!
