Army of Darkness 1979 #3 – 2021 continues the gory, grimy, and gloriously over-the-top journey of Ash Williams, this time thrown headfirst into the gritty underbelly of late-70s New York. Written by Rodney Barnes and illustrated by Tom Garcia, this issue delivers everything you'd expect from an Army of Darkness series — chainsaws, one-liners, undead mayhem, and just the right amount of camp horror charm.

After arriving in 1979 Brooklyn, Ash finds himself navigating the turf wars of violent street gangs — not just your ordinary thugs, but ones who have been corrupted by the dark power of the Necronomicon. Issue #3 picks up with Ash forming an uneasy alliance with one of the local gangs, trying to convince them that their real enemies are not rival crews, but the hellish undead forces growing stronger every day.

What makes this entry stand out is its faithful blend of horror and street-level grittiness. The tone captures the aesthetic of exploitation-era films, with moody, neon-drenched artwork and shadowy alleyways juxtaposed with brutal Deadite battles. Tom Garcia’s artwork manages to ground the story in a grime-soaked realism while still allowing room for grotesque horror visuals and stylised action panels.

Rodney Barnes keeps Ash’s character as sharp as ever — cocky, outmatched, and just barely hanging on thanks to his quick thinking and chainsaw arm. The dialogue is filled with that signature blend of bravado and sarcasm, making it easy for longtime fans to feel right at home. What’s impressive about this issue is how it reimagines the Army of Darkness mythos in a completely new setting, proving the franchise still has plenty of bite.

For collectors or fans of horror comics, this is a standout title worth picking up — whether you’re following the full miniseries or grabbing it for the striking cover art alone. It’s a strong blend of nostalgia and innovation that captures the chaotic spirit of the Evil Dead universe, now in a 1970s gangland twist.
