* AdaptationalVillainy: It's implied that {{Lust}} of the SevenDeadlySins was originally Eve (as in the Biblical Eve).
* EnfantTerrible: In life, Wrath of the SevenDeadlySins was a child soldier from the Children's Crusade who, after witnessing all of his friends being butchered, took out his rage against the priests who had sent them to die. In death, he became the most powerful and sadistic of the sins, every other Sin unwilling to involve him in their plans since he has a tendency to go overkill in his rampages. It's even implied that he's killed other members of the sins in a case of friendly fire in the past.

* SevenDeadlySins: The Seven Deadly Sins are a group of sinners who've died and are reincarnated into Cenobite-like [[DemonOfHumanOrigin demons]] in Purgatory, tasked with torturing souls who're most guilty of their respective sin. Because Sloth has a tendency to ignore its duties (as is its nature), they try to make Ash Williams (who's status as TheChosenOne was suppressed by the Necronomicon) the new Sloth since his new, normal persona represents the ultimate wasted potential.

A comic book set in ''Franchise/EvilDead'' universe, published by Dynamite Entertainment.
Continuing from ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' (the third ''Evil Dead'' film) the comic chronicles Ash Williams' on-going battles against the demonic Deadites across the space-time continuum.
----
!!Come get some:
* AlternateContinuity: The ''Army of Darkness'' comics follow the adventures of the young Ash Williams living in the early 21st century on Earth-818793, oppose to his 50 year-old film/TV counterpart played onscreen by Creator/BruceCampbell.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Necronomicon develops into this as the series progress, possessing a malevolent sentience, corrupting the people who stumble upon it for its own purposes, and generally trying its best to get rid of the hero once and for all. Oddly enough, as the comic develops the Necronomicon into an ArtifactOfDoom, its TomeOfEldritchLore traits seem to diminish accordingly: more often than not, the comic version of the Necronomicon simply uses its powers as it or its owner sees fit, with no spell recitation involved. This might be a PragmaticAdaptation for the comic's episodic format, since very few people in the ''Evil Dead'' universe are qualified to translate and read the book's [[BlackSpeech ancient language]] aloud.
* BetweenMyLegs: [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/evildead/images/6/62/007_795.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160721150001 One of the covers]] for the ''Shop Till You Drop Dead'' miniseries features a grossed out Ash sitting between some rotting Deadite's legs.
* CaptainErsatz: Ted, the half-dead, middle-aged midget that (briefly) becomes Ash's sidekick in 2012's ''Army of Darkness'' Volume 3 #7-#12 is an obvious Captain Ersatz of Sam, the half-dead, middle-aged midget from the 2005 video game ''VideoGame/EvilDeadRegeneration''. It's even more obvious when the two have a similar origin, and the fact that Sam, named after ''Evil Dead'' creator Creator/SamRaimi, was played by his younger brother Creator/TedRaimi in ''Evil Dead: Regeneration''.
* TheChosenOne: The comic go into much further expositions and machinations that revolve around just how much it sucks being The Chosen One (aside from all your friends and loved ones going [[NotUsingTheZWord deadite]] ). Makes sense seeing as [[TomeOfEldritchLore The Necronomicon]] itself has its ties directly to each one of each generation. [[spoiler:Even going so far as to have a Werewolf [[AscendedFanboy assistant]] type with his mentor's full journal account of the last generation's Chosen One who apparently worked himself into the UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper mythos.]]
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Averted. Ash can easily beat one deadite and only has problems when there are several.
* CosmicRetcon: The climax of [[spoiler: ''Army of Darkness: The Long Road Home'']] does a complete cosmic overhaul of Earth-818793.
* DualWielding: Ash's fight against his past self in ''Ashes 2 Ashes'' miniseries becomes more troublesome when he manages to get a hold on both of their chainsaws.
-->'''Future Ash:''' We're both ''good guys'' here!\\
'''Past Ash:''' Good, bad... I'm the guy with ''both chainsaws!''
* EvilTwin: Evil Ash (from the ''Army of Darkness'' film), is a recurring villain in many story-arcs.
* FightDracula: Ash fights Dracula and various other classic monsters in the storyline appropriately named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Ash vs. Dracula"]].
* IntercontinuityCrossover:
** In the main comic, Ash comes across Herbert West of ''Film/ReAnimator'' fame.
** There are separate miniseries' that that are crossovers with ''Film/{{Darkman}}'', ''ComicBook/DangerGirl'', ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'', ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' and ''ComicBook/HackSlash''
** Ash is finally KilledOffForReal after dying, getting punched by Zombie!Sentry into the ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' universe and escaping into the Marvel Werewolves universe. And it's canon that, like most Marvel characters in their alternate universes, Ash also has alternate universe counterparts. Sadly, in most universes, heroes mean he never really got a chance to shine.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Since Dynamite Entertainment only has the rights to use characters from the ''Army of Darkness'' film, none of the friends Ash slaughtered in ''The Evil Dead'' and ''Evil Dead 2'' can appear. However, that didn't stop them from using [[spoiler: Annie Knowby, Jake, and Henrietta Knowby from ''Evil Dead 2'']] in the ''Old School'' story-arc, [[spoiler: although it's possible that nobody cared enough to do anything about it since the comic rights to ''Evil Dead 2'' didn't belong to anybody at the time of it's release.]]
** In ''Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash'' #1, a lawyer-friendly version of [[spoiler: Jason Voorhees]] appears in a montage/flashback of important events in Ash's life. This is a reference to the [[spoiler: two ''Freddy vs Jason vs Ash'' crossovers.]]
** Although she can never physically appear in the Army of Darkness comics thanks to her comic rights currently belonging to Dark Horse Comics, that hasn't stopped the Dynamite writers from mentioning [[spoiler: Ash's younger sister, Cheryl Williams (from Film/TheEvilDead1981) twice: the first time in the ''Tales of Army of Darkness'' one-shot and the second in Ash's biography page in the ''Prophecy'' crossover series.]]
* LeftHanging: It's very likely we'll never know [[spoiler: where and when Ash and Evil Ash are sent to via time-vortex]] at the end of the ''Furious Road'' story, since the story-arc itself was just meant to cash in on the then new ''Ash vs Evil Dead'' television series by featuring a 50+ year-old Ash living in a trailer park.
** Thanks to ''Army of Darkness/Xena Warrior Princess: Forever And A Day'' #5, we know that [[spoiler: Ash (now in his 70s) has returned to what he would consider "the present", but it still doesn't explain where he and Evil Ash went or how he got back]].
* MythologyGag: As Ash and the Wise Man venture through the woods in ''Ashes 2 Ashes'' miniseries, the Wise Man suddenly points out that something is approaching them "from within the woods!" ''Within the Woods'' was the short film that Creator/SamRaimi used to secure funding for ''Film/TheEvilDead1981''.
** Ash often refers to people as "Shemps", a reference to "Main/FakeShemp", a term that Creator/SamRaimi coined while filming Film/TheEvilDead1981.
* PowerFist: The gauntlet Ash makes in the ''Army of Darkness'' film carries over into the comics. However in ''Army of Darkness: Shop 'Till You Drop Dead'', [[spoiler: Ash is sent to the future where he receives an upgraded gauntlet that is capable of [[FingerFirearms shooting lasers from the fingertips and also doubles as a flamethrower.]] Unfortunately, this gauntlet doesn't last long (only two issues) before it is taken away by police at the beginning of ''Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator''.]]
* RecursiveCanon: In 2004's ''Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator'', it is revealed that two television movies based on Ash's life have been made in the six month period [[spoiler: since his arrest for the events of the ''Shop 'Till You Drop Dead'' story.]] Apparently Hollywood couldn't resist making a big screen adaptation of Ash's story, because in 2009's ''Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors'', two of the main characters are watching ''Army of Darkness'' in a movie theater [[spoiler: although later it's implied to be a dream.]]
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: The [[ArtifactOfDoom Necronomicon Ex-Mortis]] is reimagined as an indestructible, talking book that can cause it's blood inked pages to reform into another image. [[spoiler: The talking aspect of the book would later become canon when it was used in the ''Ash vs Evil Dead'' episode, ''Bound In Flesh''.]]
* Rule63: The main story-arc of Army of Darkness Volume 3 is Ashley J. Williams meeting Ashley K. Williams, his female counterpart from an [[AlternateUniverse another universe]]. She also has the ability to [[ShapeshifterWeapon manipulate her left hand]] into any weapon she desires.
* SeriesContinuityError: Too many to count, but just a handful are:
** In ''Ash vs The Classic Monsters'', it was established that this version of Ash living on Earth-818793 was born in 1969. Later in ''Army of Darkness Volume 3'', Ash is thrown back in time to 1979, where he must protect himself as a high school senior.
*** Also in ''Ash vs The Classic Monsters'', Ash brings Eva, the daughter of Dracula, from 1499 to 2006. In Eva's one-shot origin issue: ''Eva: Daughter of The Dragon'', released just a few months after her debut in ''Ash vs Classic Monsters'', she was living in 1599, still unaware of the fact that Dracula is her father.
** In the 2008 story-arc,''The Long Road Home'', Ash resets the world to the way it was before he [[spoiler: killed everyone in S-Mart, fought the Re-Animator, destroyed the cabin, fought Dracula, and died.]] However, when he meets Herbert West/Re-Animator in Dynamite's ''Prophecy'' crossover in 2012, West recognizes Ash from when he met him in ''Army of Darkness vs Re-Animator''.
* SpinOff: Several Dynamite Entertainment books have spun out of ''Army of Darkness'', such as the ''Eva: Daughter of The Dragon'' one-shot in 2007 and the ''Reanimator'' limited series in 2015.
* SpinOffSpring: Parodied in ''Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama''. At the convention in issue one, a new comic is announced at a Q&A panel: ''Solan: Son of Darkness''. [[spoiler: In ''Xena Warrior Princess/Army of Darkness: What, Again?'', Ash has a son with Xena's friend Gabrielle named Solan.]] It should also be noted that Ash Saves Obama takes place in a different continuity than the one the [[spoiler:''Xena'' and ''Army'']] crossover took place in.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Ash takes on a group of Deadite Nazis throughout Volume 3 of the Army of Darkness comics.
* VariantCover: Since 2004, not a single issue of Dynamite's ''Army of Darkness'' series has gone by without a variant cover.
* WolverinePublicity: Speaking of variant covers, for the first issue of ''Army of Darkness: Ash In Space'', Dynamite released [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/evildead/images/5/57/AODSpace01CovBSeeley.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160718164118 three]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/evildead/images/7/70/AODSpace01CovCAdams.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160718164127 variant]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/evildead/images/6/67/AODSpace01CovDFlanagan.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160718164149 covers]] where other, more obscure Dynamite characters appeared alongside Ash. Somewhat averted because the various artists had the decency to make it a running gag on every one of these covers that the characters point out that they do not appear in this book.
* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: ''Ash's Christmas Horror'' special has Ash, who had previously declared to have had enough of Christmas, having a Necronomicon-induced dream where he is visited by three spirits, who take the forms of Wiseman from the middle-ages, his boss at S-Mart and his late girlfriend Linda. Waking up, he is filled with the spirit of the season and even takes the role of [[MallSanta S-Mart's Santa Claus]].
