I've bought way too many Army of Darkness comics to find out later they release a nice book collection of the series when it's over. I'll wait for the TPB.
Been getting the army of darkness: Ashes to ashes comic which i just found out a while back got it up to #3 i've liked it so far, The TPB of the other series i may have to look into.
I downloaded it, liked it and downloaded it I was surprised that the kids from [SPOILER - highlight to read]: FvJ were in it at the beginning and got killed, tbh instead of having them in it and dying at the beginning (Will gets his intestines ripped out, Laurie gets a machete to the head) they coulda used it for a fight or something but I still kinda liked it
THe friday the thirteenth texas chainsaw massacre and nightmare on elmstreet comics are actually pretty good. I have read a few army of darkness comics and they seemed highly decent as well. I wouldnt reading this.

Tis a shame more people are'nt reading them because last i read wildstorm are cancelling all their ongoing horror movie comics and only focusing more on the mini-stories.
Yeah, thats how it works with any and all horror comics. They take on a strong following for the first issue's and everyone suddenly stopes reading them. I dont think avatar even finished escape from the living dead series. There was city of the living dead, night, revenge, attack and several others. I remember two years ago there were all kind of horror comics out there, but they were soon cancelled. I guess people were to busy reading supergirl, and krypto the superdog.

Its because the novelty ends after the first few issues with no change in the premise. To comic users it feels like buying the exact comic from last month.
I used to think that, but i dont buy it anymore.Some of these comics have engaging plots and deep characters. As far as the mainstream horror comics like TCM, freddy and jason. I can understand how the appeal could wear off quickly. The writers actually did a decent job with advancing and exploring story possibilities in some of those comics. The artwork was also impressive. I would say better than the spiderman and some of the x-men shit. It doesn surprise me that these mainstream hooror comics which are meant to be ongoing series are cancelled. What surprises me when some very creative horror comics which are only meant to be a short run are cancelled before it is finished. The walking dead seems to be the only exception to the horror rule of comics which is..."dont write horror" Clive barker created some incredible comic books which, even today, are not known.
Im just saying, if people pay $4 every two weeks to see spiderman get into the same problem. Why isnt there appeal for horror comics with a similar formula
