Dynamite is excited to announce the extension of the fan-favorite Army of Darkness Forever series by Tony Fleecs and company, with the series now set to run past six issues to treat fans with even more of the horror and comedy epic! The original Army of Darkness film remains a hands-down classic, arguably the pinnacle of the character of Ash Williams. Dynamite has been proud to publish official comic books starring the character and his groovy escapades going back to 2004 — in fact, being the first ever comics released by the company. But no series has quite filled the same hyped role as Forever. Picking up immediately following the conclusion of the beloved film — but not the way many may remember, it's an essential addition to the canon. Sam Raimi's vision for Army of Darkness had an alternate ending that was deemed too pessimistic at the time, replaced for the initial theatrical release with a more hopeful take, and only seen later by diehard fans. Now, top-se...

  COMIC BOOK PUNKS: HOW A GENERATION OF BRITS REINVENTED POP CULTURE CREATIVE TEAM: Karl Stock (w) RELEASE DATE: 22 November HARDBACK, 500 pages PRICE: £24.99 ISBN: 9781786186942 The influence of the comic book has never been greater, from movies to streaming and beyond, but the journey comics took from disposable kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises turned on a highly unusual group of writers and artists. Few would have expected a small gathering of British comic book fans and creators in the early '70s to spark a cultural revolution, but this was the start of a disparate movement of punks, dropouts, and disaffected youths who reinvented a medium and became the imaginative heart of a global success story. Based on years of interviews with a generation of leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped, hindered, and saw the reinvention of comics. Sto...
