Again, feel like this is a reference to something, but can't quite place it.

We just picked up a random issue of this one, but the variant cover wasn't in the GCD, so maybe it was meant to be! From 2024, Army of Darkness: Forever #5, written by Tony Fleecs, art by Justin Greenwood. Variant cover by Arthur Suydam.

The premise for this mini-series is kind of a continuity patch: the theatrical and the director's cut of Army of Darkness have different endings. So, which is right? What if...they both happened? Sure, except the Ash in the more-fun S-Mart ending, was actually the returned Evil Ash, who has gone on to murder most of his co-workers. That'll suck the fun out of things; and Evil Ash allows himself to be arrested for the murder of Joxer uh, Theodore 'Ted' Howard; which is sure to bite Ash in the ass later.

Meanwhile, stuck in a wasteland apocalypse future, Ash has been collecting pages of the Necronomicon from evil robots, with the help of some little robot soldiers and the ghost of the Wise Man. Who Ash pretty much hates at this point, since he had "moved the goal posts" numerous times already, but now he had to return to the cabin in the woods: the Wise Man points out, if it makes him feel any better, there was neither woods nor cabin now; just the remnants of a cellar and a certain angry hand. Sadly, Ash loses his little robots here, as they get turned, like just about everybody else he ever meets.

Also meanwhile, in 1300 AD, Evil Ash--possibly not even the same one as in 1993!--was getting tired of the souls of peasants, and wanted someone with a bit more fire. He meant his queen, Sheila; who was still fighting the Deadites, but it may be down to just her: the Wise Man had been taken, and now Arthur was a Deadite as well! To be continued... 

I feel like I have Forever on digital, although I did buy a few issues, in particular lucky number #13, which was a jam issue send-off: I had thought that was going to be the end of Ash's long licensing run at Dynamite, since 2004: searching their website, 723 related items for Army of Darkness. But, he would return yet again, for Archie x the Army of Darkness! If his series had been numbered properly, Ash would be well over 100 issues in, and much more if the crossovers were included.
