Although I was entertained by the movie Army of Darkness I never explored the comic book series. However I tend to at least look at all things Cthulhu mythos or Lovecraftian, so when I saw Herbert West in the title I decided to give it a try.

They certainly have Herbert West here, reanimating zombies so some guy can use them and the Necronomicon to open a interdimensional gate, not that the premise matters much. What fans want and get are numerous scenes of Ash splattering zombie gore all over the place with chain saws and other weapons.

It didn't do much for me, but I guess mythos completists need a copy. In particular the plot was pretty thin and the art was only so so. Other fans of HPL's stories can safely give it a miss. Of course Army of Darkness fanatics bought it in the original comic book publication. ( )
