The Uninitiated Comic Reader Issue #10: Army of Darkness Part 2, Jason vs Freddy vs Ash
This comic should be impossible to fudge. It takes three horror icons that all have a sense of humor attached to them (except maybe Jason, but even he had his funny moments), and puts them all together in what should be the match-up of the century. Well… let’s see how that goes.
Summary: The comic opens to a frozen Crystal Lake, and Jason floating in his usual hibernation pose, sans hockey mask. It copies the opening of Freddy vs Jason by having Freddy, who at this moment is banished from the mortal realm (I think), impersonate Jason’s mom, in his head, again. Jason, he’s not a bright boy. Freddy decides to sick Jason on Ash this time, who apparently “killed” Jason at the end of a previous comic. So Jason awakes and kills some people, heading towards the home of Ash, who is now enjoying the retired life. I won’t tell anymore, because I don’t want to spoil a comic that I actually didn’t dislike (is that a double negative?).
Writing: It’s good, to a point. One thing that is definitely improved is the humor. Although there isn’t a lot of it. At first, I thought this was simply because of the fact that they are trying to cram a lot of set up in there, and they are, but that’s not why. I think the reason why the humor of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Evil Dead simply don’t work in this medium is because they largely depend on the delivery of the key actors, Robert England and Bruce Campbell, respectively. The jokes that are here are actually not bad, including a really hard to spot one that I loved. When I found it, I was so glad they didn’t point it out. Here, see if you can find it:
Art: The comic suffers here a bit, but not too much. There are some occasional posture or facial shots that seem really bizarre, but other than that no big complaints, except…
I’m not sure who to blame for this, but the artist (or letterer, depending on who did it) should have known better. I’m pretty sure this was supposed to be menacing and faithful to Friday the 13th, but it is neither. What it is, however, is an unintended source of hilarity. Not only is the noise wrong (it is supposed to be ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma) the echoing sound of “Kill Her Mommy” that Jason Vorhess’ mother hears her son tell her in the first movie, but also, it was never meant to be displayed in this way. It would have been less distracting if Freddy walked behind Jason wherever he went saying it instead.
Also, Ash is wearing Elvis shades, which can’t help but conjure up Bubba Ho Tep flashbacks, which is awesome.
Overall: A much worthier comic than our last entry, even if it suffers from heavy dependence on a previous comic series I missed, making a good deal of this comic seem nonsensical. I would have to say track those down first before committing to this whole series. Although, this comic is quality enough to make me wonder…
How was the Ash vs Re-animator crossover?
And so, faithful reader, in this 10th article, I depart, to hopefully return in January, new, improved, and with more comics in hand. I hope, if anyone reads these, to see you then.
What should I defend next?
I want to defend something big for the final text version of In Defense of and since I canceled In Defense of Identity Crisis, for reasons of unoriginal thoughts and delays, I am in the need of a new client. I will take on almost anything. So if you have anything you are sick of seeing trashed or think would make for a humorous article send them to indefenseofCbo@gmail.com, or leave a comment below. Include a name if you wish to get mentioned.
Thanks for reading and I will pick the best suggestion by Friday and post it Saturday. See you all then.
The Uninitiated Comic Reader Issue #9: Army of Darkness Part 1, From the Ashes
I love the Evil Dead movies. No hiding it, no shame, these movies are the bee’s fucking knees. Bruce Campbell? Forget about it. I have followed this guy ever since I saw him on Hercules, the Legendary Journeys as a kid. I’ve read both of his books. I EVEN LIKED MY NAME IS BRUCE. Sam Raimi? While I may not have liked his forays into the superhero genre (as mentioned last week) I do like most of his other films, and, as someone who was once (and is in some ways still) an aspiring filmmaker, I have an enormous respect for his ingenuity and the techniques he developed as a low-budget filmmaker.
I had heard on the commentary to Army of Darkness that Sam and Ivan Raimi had written some comics based on the movies, and it sounded alright to me. More hilarious horror adventures with our hero Ash? Sounded like a good idea to me. So, one day my girlfriend stopped by our local comic book store looking for something, saw the comic and picked it up for me.
It was not written by Sam or Ivan Raimi. Or any Raimi, for that matter.
Summary: It opens with a series of references to the opening and ending of Army of Darkness, with bits of exposition about the state of the world (it seems there were some comic s in the story before this, including Marvel Zombies), peppered in. Evil Ash Prime, as he is called, has corrupted the world, and now humans are barely surviving in a world ruled by Deadites. Ash stumbles out of the cave where the portal dropped him to make a blatant joke/reference to the end of the director’s cut to Army of Darkness. Pulling himself together after weeping over the potential loss of his “Sugarbaby”, he picks himself up and saunters off, right into a gang of Deadites. At least we are told they are Deadites, because except for the one that looks like a giant Satyr, these guys could be a bunch of bikers for all we know.
“Suck it, Joker, I’ve got two shoe-blades!”
Ash easily defeats them, because he’s FUCKING ASH, and then we cut to Evil Ash’s layer, where it is implied he is violating them in the other room, in ways that cannot be described. Waiting in his throne room is some evil Deadite advisor lady, and…DUH DUH DUH! Sugarbaby is there! And she’s a Deadite! Another thing that wasn’t clear thanks to the art. And that we’re given no reason to care about.
Evil Ash comes out complaining that because he never got to kill Ash, his life is empty. His evil advisor woman says that all he would have to do is kill himself and then he could fight Ash on the other side. Sounds like a reasonable way to get out of this comic to me!
We cut back to Ash, walking around, looking lost, when an old man claiming to be a seer starts harassing him. Ash’s character has apparently reverted completely to his beginning of Army of Darkness personality, and tells the old man to get bent, right before the old man starts showing him visions of the past and future, saying how Evil Ash got powerful, and what Ash needs to do to stop it, by finding a few chosen warriors. It also gives Ash the chance to make a really unfunny and nonsensical Planet of the Apes reference. Joy.
“Is that Gorro? Ash you fool, this isn’t Planet of the Apes, it’s the Mortal Kombat movie! RUN!”
So, his fate determined for him like always, Ash goes forth to face his destiny.
Writing: So, the idea of this story is actually pretty good. Ash taking the fight to the Deadites in a post-apocalyptic future sounds like sliced bread, but it somehow became Cazu Marzu (look it up, by all means) along the way. One big foul up was the humor. Or rather the attempt at it.
You see, in place of Ash’s hilarious one liners or any real comedy, there are pop-culture references and horrifying attempts at wit. Here is my FAVORITE.
…Really?
Where to begin with this? It’s a stupid joke. This sort of humor isn’t really funny when it’s topical. So after the fact like this, it comes off as the writer saying something tasteless and stupid and then elbowing us in the ribcage. With a chainsaw.
Also, I think it was pretty clear that Ash is from the 70’s-80’s era. So when did he find out about any of this? It makes this comic horribly dated AND anachronistic to its own story. Speaking of which, what the hell happened to Ash? Even for a pretty one-note character in what amounts to a Gore-Comedy, he still had character growth in Army of Darkness, and in many ways even became the hero that he was destined to be, which this comic references several times. That comes across to some degree, but it just feels like the character in the comic is simply a cheap archetype of the man we all know and love. Even with these gripes, the story is still a bit intriguing, if a little stock with all of the coolness and humor washed away.
Art: The art, while decent, suffers from a lack of continuity with the story, and with Ash’s face. We all know Bruce Campbell has a big chin, guys. You don’t have to have it trying to eat the rest of his face in every other panel.
If there is any complaint beyond that, it’s that nothing is really memorable beyond the cool, if a bit muddy, cover. And the opening few pages with the Necronomicon are done very well.
Hmm….
“Yeah, with a knife” “Or a Bigger Knife” “FUCKING KNIFE”
Overall: This comic was at best mediocre, even through the rose colored glasses of a fan of the franchise, who really wanted to enjoy it. With piss-poor humor, and the man, Ash, apparently being replaced by a conventioner cosplaying as Ash, I can’t recommend it to anyone, especially new readers, as there is a good deal of continuity that is missing without previous issues and Marvel Zombies. And if there isn’t, then the writer is just lazy.
Next week I will be looking at another comic starring the S-Mart CSR from Housewares, one that involves some other horror icons as well…and what’s funny, as I read the ads in the back of this book, is that my statement hardly narrows it down.
Coming Soon to It Came From The Bargain Bin!
Spider-man #13 by Todd McFarlane
The first episode of It Came From The Bargain Bin! will review Spider-man #13 by the infamous Todd McFarlane. This is one of the era defining comics. Expect it in the coming weeks as there is a lot to do.
The Uninitiated Comic Reader #8: The Amazing Spiderman #601
So, confession time. I have never liked Spiderman. I only read a few comic when I was young and they were pretty mediocre, and it wasn’t until the Sam Raimi movies that I was exposed to the friendly neighborhood web slinger again. AND I FUCKING HATE THOSE MOVIES. Without going too much into it, the main reason is the portrayal of Spiderman himself, by one Tobey Maguire, as a simpering, annoying idiot.
When I voiced this to a friend who was an avid comic reader, around the time of the second movie or so, he told me that WAS Spiderman, and I probably wouldn’t like any comics with him in it either. So I really never was interested until I found out from much more…informed people that this is not how Spiderman actually is supposed to be. So I thought “Well, I should read some Spiderman then!”. But no, dear reader. For by these same people I was also informed that Spidey had taken a nose dive with the events of a book called One More Day, in which Spiderman makes a deal with the devil because blah blah blah (if you really don’t know by now, the Internet is full of stuff about it and why it sucked).
But, being and objective reader and not wanting to just give up again on this franchise, I decided to throw caution and good sense to the wind and picked up this issue, mainly because the variant cover looked good. It…kinda worked out?
Summary: So, we open with a brief monologue from Peter Parker recapping some events, kind of. He mostly just talks about how beautiful Mary Jane looked at the wedding. But, in between Spider-dweebs babbling, we get brief info about Jonah Jameson, Spideys “worst enemy”, becoming mayor, Jonah’s dad marrying Aunt May, and Dr. Octopus and Norman Osborn doing evil things that will have no effect on this issue.
The comic proper begins with a series of flashbacks about Aunt May’s wedding reception and how Mary Jane was there. Interspersed with this is Peter waking up the next morning in bed with someone named Michelle (apparently his roommate who doesn’t like him) and her getting pissed at him because…he doesn’t remember? Whatever. Point is, she says she wants him gone.
Oh, believe me, Spidey, many comic book fans have beaten you to it.
Then, Spidey swings over to his Aunt May’s house, looking for a place to stay, but finds that it is now populated by relatives, living there until Aunt May returns from her honeymoon. So he saunters off, pondering what he can remember of last night’s event (he made a date with MJ, but can’t remember when or where).
From there, the comic goes into classic Super Hero mode: Peter finds out about a fire, shows up, saves the day with somewhat witty remarks and quick thinking.
“Fear not, citizen, for I am the Incredible Firescreamer! With the amazing ability to yell out fire!”
The comic ends with Peter remembering where to meet MJ, but sadly she oversleeps and never shows up. It also contains a short little bonus story about parenting and role models, that is alright, I guess. A little corny, but that’s better than nothing.
Writing: This may come off as more of a critique of Spiderman in general, so bare with me. In regards to the comic, it ranges from banal, the stuff about his sleeping with Michelle and the date with MJ, to average, with him saving the burning building. Nothing really special about this comic, but for what it is, it’s well executed.
But on to Spiderman in general (and this may leak over unto the whole of Marvel as well), I really hate Jonah Jameson. The “I’ll get Spiderman” schtick was old before it got started. I know he has served some purpose (and I actually like him in the movies) but he falls so flat. He basically serves as a device for the writer to go “Poor Spiderman, no one likes him. Look how wrong Jameson is about him!”. He straw-man’s all critique of Spidey’s actions, as opposed to what he should be, which is someone who voices actual concerns about Parker that allow Pete to question his own actions and become stronger through it.
That’s just the direction I would have liked to see it go, but maybe that’s not what Spiderman is really about, after all, I’m new to his world.
But one thing I am not new to is the biggest gripe I have with Marvel. The civilians. Holy crap I hate them. They range from completely helpless to stupid and vindictive. Not only do they change sides at the drop of a hat, but they just act incredibly idiotic (the Screamtress up there is a perfect example). And when it comes to stories about people trying to save them, its hard to get into it when you don’t care if they live or die.
Also, like every Marvel comic I’ve read, every time a character references a past story, a little box pops up to talk about it, and tell you what issue. This is helpful at first, but after a while it kind of feels like they’re just pushing things on you.
“No, Spiderman, I, the great Water Pusher, shall assist you!” (Christ I hate these people)
Art: The comic shines here, mostly. The flashback sequences especially utilize color in a way that makes it flow well with the inter-cut of the morning after. There is one thing, however, that the artist can’t seem to get right, and that’s faces. Now, every artist approaches the human anatomy differently, so obviously, not every face looks exact. But this…well…
I think Mary Jane may have been to Innsmouth recently!
Depending on the angle, Mary Jane looks either like a man, or a fish person. It’s rather bizarre. I suppose it doesn’t take anything away from the story, but after Peter’s drooling over her for most of the comic you have to wonder if he’s into some weird shit.
Overall: Amazing Spiderman 601 isn’t terrible, it’s nothing special, but from what I’ve been hearing about Spidey these days, that’s probably better than normal. It doesn’t require any knowledge of his continuity to get into, and in fact, I suspect it was better because I didn’t know a whole lot about the current storyline. However that’s not much of a recommendation, is it?
…Better than those goddamn movies, though.
It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s an update!
Yeah so what’s going on here at CBO Productions? Well all I can say is CHAOS! No, not chaos magic as that doesn’t exists, but really just a lot of things going on at once that makes things very, how do you say, hectic.
First up is my laptop. If you don’t follow my twitter (and you should) you will know that I have been experiencing some laptop problems for a while now. Good news is that I am replacing it later today (Tuesday) and should be fully functional by that night. That’s good as I was stressing about videos more than anything since all of the software is on my laptop and I don’t have any other real means of making a video.
The Laptop's problem.
Well, I will be getting a new one so that worry went away. Another stressor for this week is school.
School is quickly becoming the bane of my existence, to be more precise, Organic Chemistry (which can rot in Hell) is the bane of my existence. Seriously if there would be something to surprise me and break my back, it would be Organic Chemistry.
I'm Batman, Organic Chem is Bane. Get the picture?
Some good news there, next semester looks to be more favorable and not crazy since I got out of Organic Chemistry.
Now the real reason I wanted to make this post was to talk about a recent distraction of mine. Here lately I haven’t been reading comics, writing reviews (or In Defense Of, I know), paying attention in class, or sleeping because of one thing. That thing is my own comic. I have been “writing” comics since I was like 6, but this time I am actually getting good at illustrations. I know I spoke about it last week, but its starting to take shape. Right now the comic is called FAB. This is just the working title. It will be about a team of six characters (some based on classic archtypes, some more original) fighting villany. Just a superhero comic. I have some more complex stuff in mind but the simple jist is a superhero webcomic. The schedule is still in the works but the idea is for to be a weekly comic (as in once a week). No clue when it will be ready, but the prep for such a project is demanding. Yet it is so rewarding. The amount of ideas I am having is just insane.
I am finally taking these fractured comic ideas and combining them together to form this cohesive universe that is just massive. It is startling to think about how many characters will be involved. It’s breathtaking to me. Expect to hear more about it in the near future.
On a related note I am about to fill up my first sketch pad. I have 12 pages left and I should go through them by Wednesday. It is amazing to see an evolution in the art style and quality over the last 5 months. Its a magical feeling when one fills up a sketch book. I will be sure to scan some images from there in the coming weeks.
and finally as a Beatles fan I have to just share this with everyone
Yeah someone decided to mash-up the Beatles individul solo work and make a 13th album out of the mash-ups. This is spectacular work. I suggest any Beatles fans out there to download this album. It is just, just…FAB. Check out the album here:
http://thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com/
I will be back soon to talk about the final In Defense of article and some videos that I plan to get released.
Thanks for reading.
Nights Into Dreams #2- A Review by The HellDragon
(If you haven’t already, be sure to read the review of Issue 1 of Nights Into Dreams, Series 2, otherwise you’ll have no idea what’s going on!)
And so, after much time, we finally return to Nights Into Dreams. This time, we’re covering issue #2 of the second series, and this one’s going to be just as unpleasant as the first. Why? Once again, we return to the cover.
Oh my GOD. Where do I even begin? I guess we could start with Lo-Pan on the left, who looks like he shriveled up in the sun. And then got into a roller coaster accident. It gets worse with Reala’s wacky fingers flailing over the really tiny and buff terrorists perched on the old guy’s collar. The children are easily the most well drawn things on the cover, even though they’d probably look better if you drew them with a chainsaw dipped in fudge.
Well, this is issue 2 out of 3, after all. Might as well get it over with. Let’s get started.
Page 3 begins the issue proper, and-
Well, this is dark. Nights being kept in a basement by a brutish oaf. That isn’t disturbing at all. Then again, any atmosphere this may have caused is ruined by the narrator, who prattles about what happened in the last issue that led up to this situation. He also implores you to keep reading to find out what happens next, which comes off as pretty pathetic to me. I hate it when stories beg me to keep turning their pages. It’s just like hiring a really insecure prostitute.
Meanwhile, we cross over to the Twin Seeds police station, where Elliot and Claris got dragged for skipping school EXACTLY ONE TIME. They start explaining what they saw last issue, all the while finishing each other’s sentences like a cute couple. (HINT HINT.) This pisses off the chief and makes smoke blow out of his ears. (Yes, I literally mean that.)
Just then, two captured terrorists from that R.E.M group are pushed into the police station. Tagging along is Lieutenant O’Lawful, the redhead from last issue. She tells the officer escorting the terrorists to place them in a holding room where she can interrogate them. The officer asks, “Anything else, Lucy?”
Lieutenant Lucy O’Lawful. Wow, that’s pretty damn creative. Man, you didn’t even TRY to hide your crappy reference! And of course, Xena here is your typical “tough female cop who has to something to prove to the boys”, an angle that doesn’t really work when you prance around in a tight miniskirt. I’d say it’s fanservice, but she’s drawn so badly that I don’t know what body part you’re supposed to rub one out over.
So the terrorists tell Xena what they know. Apparently there’s something dangerous about the Twin Seeds Tower, so R.E.M. took it over to protect the entire town. (Because, you know, in this country terrorist activities are seen as a force for good.)
It still takes Xena about thirty seconds to decide that she can’t get any good information out of the terrorists. “I don’t even know what R.E.M. STANDS for!” she huffs. This prompts a damn TANK to bust through the wall and announce:
…”Ruthlessly Extreme Measures”? THAT’S what it stands for? It’s not because it’s a reference to REM sleep, it’s something that’s actually STUPIDER? That’s probably the worst acronym I’ve ever heard for a group of soldiers, and I’ve seen someone name a group “B.A.M.” for “Big Ass Motherfuckers!”
So, even if you ignore the fact that a TANK just broke in, the thing sprouts extendable robo-arms. As one of them grabs Xena, a police officer shouts:
Right up the butt, judging by that silhouette! Kinky.
The cop swings his gun on the tank, but the police chief rushes in and stops him, saying that he might accidentally shoot Xena. The tank grabs the terrorists, drops them inside some compartments, and chugs away after dropping the lieutenant. The chief pulls her up and says:
Man, you’re a local police force-you’re not even supposed to be fighting NORMAL terrorists! And these guys have TANKS. This is a situation where you stand back and say, “Okay, Superman, you can take it from here!”
Meanwhile, we switch back over to the dream world (Nightopia), where Reala is blowing up crap with finger lasers. Apparently, while Nights is weakening in the real world, Reala grows more and more powerful. This is a problem to some of his fellow nightmare creatures.
But it’s okay – Reala just kills them anyway.
We jump again to above Twin Seeds, where two Nightopian fairies named Snuze and Napp (GET IT?) are flying to Twin Seeds Tower. This is because the energy Nights is losing is making its way towards the spire of the tower. Why? I guess it’s heading back to the dream world or something. Looks like it’s gonna leap off to me, but hey. Maybe it wants to be reborn as solar power.
We jump AGAIN to Elliot and Claris, who had fled the station while the tank was causing trouble. Suddenly, they get another vision telling them where Nights is being kept. How do they know one’s coming? Um…they see sparkles.
HELP I’M TURNING INTO A CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH
We jump YET AGAIN to a random warehouse. (Jeez, this thing’s bouncing all over the universe.) Inside, the R.E.M. agents have gathered in front of what looks like a jungle gym while some random chick cusses them out.
Hey, well said, Riddler.
Anyway, the chick presses a button on her jungle gym and the thing starts contracting into itself while-
Okay, stopping again. I know I told you guys that the art was gonna suck in this comic, but I had to point this out. Just LOOK at how badly those faces are drawn. I don’t even know what the hell that chick is doing. Is she blowing a bubble or loading up a NERF ball? And what’s up with that guy picking his nose? He looks like he stuck his finger into his brain and went, “Eeeew, somebody already chewed this gum!”
So when the machine FINALLY stops retracting, it has somehow become a “dream-bomb”. What does it do? We never find out. You don’t even need a dream-bomb to begin with. Just get Simon Cowell on board, he’ll crush dreams all by himself.
Anyway, we move back to Twin Seeds Tower, where Xena enters the office of the tower owner (Mr. Weiss) and tells him that the terrorists have escaped her custody. This makes Weiss stammer, so Xena says:
So you won’t let anyone call you a lady, yet you consider yourself a “big girl”? You might want to rethink your labels, kid. And maybe tone down on your whole “girl power” schtick. Even Rodney Dangerfield can’t make that endearing.
After some more fruitless foreshadowing, we go over to Roger’s house, where Elliot and Claris-
EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME CAMERA VIEW
Seriously, what’s with all the wonky perspective in this comic? I wouldn’t be so concerned if it was DONE WELL, but as always, it comes off looking ridiculous.
Anyway, Elliot and Claris meet up with Snuze and Napp (whom they know from the first miniseries). The fairies say they’ll distract Roger while the teens find Nights and get him out of there. This won’t be so hard, since Roger’s playing on his computer.
Then again, he might be playing World of Warcraft, which some gamers will play even while engulfed in a typhoon.
After Snuze and Nepp knock out Roger with a whiff of magic sleeping dust, they fly downstairs to let Elliot and Claris inside. The fairies lead the teens to Roger’s basement, and within its depths, they discover the unconcious form of Nights!
LOOK AT THIS FANTASTIC SHADING
And that’s the end of Issue 2. No fanfare or anything. It’s just the kids finding their magic fairy in someone’s basement. (God, that sentence hurt. And I was really looking forward to having children.)
Fortunately, this stupid story is almost over. Next time, we’ll be tackling Issue 3 – the final issue of Nights Into Dreams, Series 2! Until then, get some protection, Namath. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride.
