Fresh Blood: Why Beyond Dead By Dawn Is The Evil Dead Comic We’ve Been Waiting For



When Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead By Dawn was announced by independent comic distributor Space Goat Productions, many fans were confused.  Evil Dead 2 has, after all, slowly been subsumed into the conclusion of Army of Darkness.  Ash definitively gets sucks into the past in both versions of the story – ergo how could it continue without trampling on familiar territory?

Scott Fitzgerald, beginning on the day that Zelda receives word of Scott’s death, it then takes us through the years of the Fitzgerald’s marriage and tries to lend us insight into how Zelda ended up in a backwater Alabama town, wiling away her lonely hours beside her elderly mother, her daughter scattered far from her.

Little Women Month: The Little Women by Katharine Weber
