3.0 out of 5 stars
Better kept in comics than on screen,
By
This review is from: Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash (Paperback)
Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash picks up right after Freddy vs. Jason (with a brief visual summary of what basically happened), even some of the characters are kept over before Ash arrives in the Crystal Lake area. It pays direct homage to the previous films, which was nice to see, but is its own story, and probably works better as a comic than a film ever would be.I don't find that it is badly drawn, but there is a unique style, at times more "cartoony" than realistic. But there's a nice attention to detail and a likeness that ranges from decent to really good (Ash has an extra "groovy"-chin in this one). In staying true to the mythology, there is a lot of combining and reusing of old details, but it's still a pretty thrilling graphic novel page turner. Ash speaks entirely in his "sugar for the king, baby"-style all the way, Freddy is almost comic relief in all his crazy "segments", and Jason is brutal as ever, and even gains a slight new advantage in this one. Overall, I can recommend FvJvA. If you find that you're able to sit through Freddy vs. Jason at least somewhat entertained, this is an even crazier mashup in a fun format. There's also an afterword from the makers, explaining a little bit of the origins and how the whole thing came about (which ends in a big heap of appreciation, and that gets to be a bit much).

This review is from: Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash (Paperback)
The great comic that could have been a horror fans dream movie. This story is very good, everything you'd expect without being too predictable, granted it is horror so some things are expected at least from a real horror fan. Freddy, Jason and Ash are a great combination, and the writing gave a great way for all three to fight each other. Ash has great one liners while kicking butt, Freddy is wicked and plays with his victims in fun ways, Jason's is an unstoppable killing machine. The side charcters are funny and traditional in horror without being annoying (unlike those in new Jason movies). The art is great. The deaths are great both what we've come to expect and inventive. The only bad thing about this book is it didn't become a movie. You would think after something so great to base a movie on, they would. I guess they will continue pumping out crappy re-imagenings rather then the perfect sequel to Freddy vs Jason. Granted F vs J didn't do very well and sequels rarely do as good as the first but when Evil Dead fans are involved, tickets would get sold.

Only for fans,

This review is from: Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash (Paperback)
Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash is a comic book totally made for fanatics of those sagas, the script is no spectacular and the art isn't amazing. Even if you like horror comics/graphic novels, this isn't one I'll recommend, but if you liked Army of darkness or Nightmare on Elm Street of Friday the 13th, in comic or movie, you surely will enjoy this. The reading is very fast and if you are familiarized with the characters you'll digest this book with no problem.
