HUMBLE BUNDLE AND DYNAMITE LAUNCH ARMY OF DARKNESS COMICS BUNDLE

Pay what you want for Army of Darkness comics and help benefit great causes

San Francisco, Calif. MT. Laurel, NJ October 28, 2015 - Dynamite Entertainment has unleashed the Army of Darkness comics into one giant-size Humble Bundle featuring more issues than you can shake a boomstick at. Based on the 1992 cult classic movie from visionary director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) starring Bruce Campbell as "Ash," this collection of comics continues the adventures of Ash, the "chosen one," as he does battle with the deadites possessed by the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead. 

The stories bundled here feature legendary crossovers with other icons of the horror genre including Re-Animator, Dracula, and Hack/Slash - not to mention a groovy guest spot as Ash saves President Barack Obama. When he's not bailing out the commander in chief, follow Ash on his many misadventures as he goes from ancient Egypt to entering a video game, blasts off into SPAAAACE, not to mention his scariest destination of all - the altar.

This bundle is also packed with star power featuring some of comics' biggest names including Cullen Bunn (Deadpool), Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine), Sanford Greene (Uncanny Avengers), Andy Hartnell (Danger Girl), and even The Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman, plus many more.
