Dynamite Entertainment and Wildstorm have combined forces to give us a triple threat, no-holds-barred, bloody battle for the ages. Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, and some S-Mart worker from the Houswares Department known simply as Ash. Six-issues of bloody good time starts here!
Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash #1

The first issue of the Wildstorm/Dynamite Entertainment crossover features narration of Ash, though our hero himself doesn’t appear until the final page. Instead the issue brings us up to speed as it begins five years after the events of Freddy vs. Jason with the tragic end to both Laurie and Will, before Freddy begins his mind games and sends Jason after the Necromonicon.
This is a good start to a series that will find it hard to live-up to its promise. Still, even though we get little of Ash on the page we get his voice throughout and the book feels much more like Evil Dead inspired tale than either of the other two franchises (and that’s a good thing!).
I’m not a big conniseur of horror comics but there was enough her to pique my interest and there’s enough on the page to wet my appetite for more.
