Danger Girl Teaming with Ash


Ash is always looking for new folks to team up with. Dynamite sees fit that his latest teamup should be with none other than Danger Girl herself, Abbey Chase, in Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness #1 . The teamup will features the writing talents of Andy Hartnell and illustrated by Chris Bolson (covers by J. Scott Campbell, Nei Ruffino, Paul Renaud and Nick Bradshaw). Inevitably, Abbey discovers the Book of the Dead, meaning her and the Danger Girls will need the help of a certain undead expert.

"Many artists go through an entire career without one real signature project, and I've been fortunate to have to with both Gen 13 and Danger Girl," says artist J. Scott Campbell. "And I really enjoy the Army of Darkness movies and absolutely love Bruce Campbell! This will be an incredibly compelling series!"
 


"Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness has been a long time coming," says writer Andy Hartnell. "Fans of the original Danger Girl series may recall seeing the infamous Necronomicon in the library of one Abbey Chase, way back in her days before joining the Danger Girl organization. They've always asked what that was all about. Well, now is the time to revisit that adventure. Now that Abbey is a full-fledged Danger Girl, with her new skills and allies, she also has the 'help' from some knucklehead named Ash."
 


"Fans that have been clamoring for Army of Darkness to return won't need to wait any longer, and this time Ash has company," says Dynamite Entertainment President Nick Barrucci. "We're extremely excited to have Ash's ongoing series re-launch and also be J. Scott Campbell's and Andy Hartnell re-introduction of Danger Girl to the comics market! Dynamite Entertainment and IDW are proud to have two such unlikely franchises meet-up on what is sure to be one entertaining romp!"


Honestly, I don't think pairing Ash with any other character will ever get old. He's one of the most endearing (in his own way) and lasting characters around. Pairing him with Danger Girl will be a welcome change that should allow for a lot of back and forth between the pair mixed in with the crazy scenarios they'll surely be faced with. I'm pretty excited for this series and am enthused to see where Hartnell takes it when the series debuts this April. Full press release after the jump.
