Army of Darkness\/Xena Warrior Princess: Forever and a Day <\/em>by Scott Lobdell, art by Elliot Fernandez<\/p>\n

Dynamite Entertainment, 2017<\/p>\n

ISBN-13: 9781524103514<\/p>\n

Available: Paperback, Kindle edition, and comiXology ebook<\/p>\n

The Army of Darkness\/Xena Warrior Princess: Forever and a Day<\/em> storyline opens with Xena holding her wounded life companion, Gabrielle, after her army has been destroyed by the ultimate evil. The only recourse she has is to use a page from the Necronomicon<\/em> that Ash gifted to her to use in a time of ultimate need. Ash heeds the call (I mean, he has no choice since the portal sucks him in, right?). Ash has to put aside his need for some sugar from fellow S-Mart employee Amber until he can solve Xena’s problem, especially when he discovers she doesn’t remember him\u2014over and over again. The problem gets compounded every time Xena uses the sheet to call him back. Ash’s time travel disruptions are damaging the time loop and may destroy it altogether. What is causing the timeline to screw up, and can Xena finally get it together enough to trust this traveler from the future?<\/p>\n

I’m a sucker for anything with Xena or Ash. Lobdell is able to keep the tone of the both Xena<\/em> and Army of Darkness<\/em>\u00a0well throughout the entire run. Ash is still the womanizing, chainsaw-wielding fella, and Xena retains her edge and sharp wit. I loved seeing them take verbal potshots at each other. Gabrielle was definitely the voice of reason when they needed it. The artwork was fantastic, too. I read another review that said Xena was too cheesecake, but I really don’t see it.<\/p>\n

If you enjoyed any of the other Army of Darkness <\/em>crossovers, you should pick this up. I enjoyed the hell out of it. What more can I say? Hail to the King, Baby\u2026 Recommended.<\/p>\n

Contains: some blood, and, of course, Deadites<\/p>\n
