Better kept in comics than on screen

Customer Rating:

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).

A rehash of the movies

Customer Rating:

I'm a MAJOR fan of the Evil Dead Trilogy, Army of Darkness Vs Marvel Zombies, some of the Jason and Freddy movies, and the Freddy Vs Jason movie. This book was a disappointment on so many levels. The art, in my opinion, was pretty bad. There was a lot of times where Ash did not look like Ash, none of the women looked like "sugar babes"(as Ash would put it) and the deaths...were boring. Jason was the only thing the artist got right. Story wise, it was a lot of rehashing of what fans already know from the movies like "my hand went bad and I lopped it off..." and the Freddy vs Jason segments felt like a repeat from the movie, with Ash joining in to fight for a second, only to get thrown out of something, more or less making him a fifth wheel. I was expecting an epic trade of one liners between Freddy and Ash but sadly there wasn't any. Just a lot of talky about what Freddy wants to do and some brief trash talk. The kind you hear in a kindergarten playground(you know, where the two kids really really hate each other) Everyone else whose name is not in the book's title are lame cardboard cut-outs of the most annoying stereotypical teens. I wish they did better with what they had.
