June 14 2005, Runnemede, NJ – Just as AOD: STYDD #4 is ready to go to stores (in store date of July 6th), The ongoing Army of Darkness series continues as Ash continues this battle with the Re-Animator in August!
Locked in an insane asylum, surrounded by re-animated abominations, and low on gas, Ash leads a misfit band of wannabe heroes into the depths of a Deadite infested madhouse. Facing an entire wing of undead inmates Ash must uncover the Necronomicon and send the evil spirit back before the gateway to the Old Ones is opened ushering in the destruction of the human race. It’s Cthulhu meets Chinfu as everyone’s favorite one-armed wisecracking anti-hero discovers that there are worse things than Deadites detailed in the blood soaked pages of the Book of the Dead. Can Ash uncover the book and save the day before the Chosen One flies over the cuckoo’s nest?
Writer James Kuhoric, returning artist Nick Bradshaw (filling in for Sanford Greene who returns later this series) are joined this issue by cover artist (shipping in equal ration): Sanford Greene, Nick Bradshaw, and Super-Star Marvel Artist Billy (currently drawing the hit X-23 series, and an arc in Marvel Knights Spider-Man) Tan.
Plus, an Ultra-Limited Cover (1 in 30) by Esad Ribic!
And for the retailers – and a few lucky fans, Dynamite has created a Retailer Incentive cover featuring 1 Esad Ribic Gold Foil Cover Edition for every 50 copies ordered of AOD #2!
“AOD just keeps getting better and better,” explained Dynamite Spokesperson J. Allen. “And if the fans think this cross-over with The Re-Animator is something, wait until hey see who we’ve got coming up to hassle Ash down the road! All this and the return of Nick Bradshaw? Christmas comes early this August!”
