Army of Darkness Xena: Warrior Princess Omnibus by John Layman, Brandon Jerwa, Elliott R. Serrano, Scott Lobdell

Image
⭐⭐⭐ ⭐   Star Review Book Blurb The cross-over no one expected is back for an Omnibus Encore, combining three volume into one epic book! Too big for the movie or television screen, Dynamite presents the ultimate, kicka** crossover tale as Ash and his Army of Darkness meets Xena, the Warrior Princess! Chapter 1: Written by John Layman and illustrated by Miguel Montenegro, we begin with Ashley J. Williams transported to the world of Xena and Gabrielle! Throw in the Necronomicon and an evil, little Ash taking charge of a group of fairies (the winged kind) and you’ve got yourselves one rollicking adventure! Chapter 2: After the events of their last meet-up, Ash is back in “real” time and Xena and Gabby are back where they started, but they’re not going to stay there, not if the Necronomicon has anything to do with it! Chapter 3: Xena, Warrior Princess, has toppled nations through the force of her will. She’s captained the deadliest pirate crew ever to sail the seas. She even turned her ...

The Cimmerian Vol 4 by Mathieu Gabella; Julien Blondel

Image
Thank you NetGalley for access to this early copy in exchange for this review.  All opinions here are my own about the book. Description ABLAZE is back again, adding to its bestselling line of UNCENSORED Robert E. Howard Cimmerian graphic novels, with The Cimmerian Volume 4! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! Vol 4 includes two complete stories, Beyond The Black River, and Hour of the Dragon, plus bonus material, including the original prose stories, in one epic hardcover collection! BEYOND THE BLACK RIVER: The Picte country is an obscure jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. Only one thing symbolizes it: the Black River, which it is claimed that no white man was able to cross and come back alive. None, except Conan. It is in the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young voluntary peasant whom he saves at the last minute from the clutches of fierce Pictish warriors. Togeth...

  From the Back Cover Dejah Thoris has saved her world from the catastrophic End Winter. Now she must help rebuild Barsoom to its former greatness! But certain factions see benefit in keeping Barsoom cold and dark. Dejah will need help, and she may find it in the return of her true love…JOHN CARTER! Dejah Thoris: Winter's End by Dan Abnett Available at Amazon -   https://www.amazon.com/Dejah-Thoris-Winters-One-Shot-2019-ebook/dp/B08SWKL69D Winter's End is a collection of short stories that feature the characters of Barsoom in various engagements and encounters. This book acts as a sort of filler for the upcoming battle with the Longborn.  Its been decades since I picked up a non Tarzan, ERB book (Edgar Rice Burroughs for people who don't know the creator of Tarzan). I was fascinated by the adventures of earthmen in the planets of Barsoom and Cosoom (Mars and Venus respectively), although the stories written a century back are somewhat dated and smack of wholly colonial th...
