The Evil Dead franchise has captivated audiences from the very start, albeit in some staggeringly different ways. Apart from all the blood, gore, and Deadite-induced horror, the franchise is just as well known for its uniquely dark, occasionally slapstick brand of comedy. 1992’s Army of Darkness embraced both sides of that dichotomy more so than any other film in the franchise, all the way up until its two drastically different endings. Now, thanks to the comics, those two endings get to exist simultaneously, even if making it happen comes at the expense of Ash Williams’ sanity.Throughout Army of Darkness: Forever (by Tony Fleecs, Justin Greenwood, Brad Simpson, and Troy Peteri), Ash Williams has been living two very different lives. While 1993 is filled with all the era-appropriate conveniences he could ask for, Ash is still stuck living a middling life working at S-Mart and regaling his largely unimpressed coworkers with tales of his days fighting Deadites. Somehow, those demonic spawn aren’t the worst that Ash has seen, at least not that version of him, as he is also stuck facing off against strange mechanical assailants in the desolate future of 2093. While these timelines seem like they couldn’t be more removed from each other, they are indeed the same, although the same can’t be said for the versions of Ash who inhabit them.In the original ending to Army of Darkness, Ash awakens in a ravaged landscape nearly identical to that seen in Army of Darkness: Forever. Though the film version of 2093 doesn’t showcase any holograms or mechanized monstrosities, it still emerges due to Ash having overslept in his mystical slumber by an entire century. When this tragic fate was deemed too dark to make the cut, another, more upbeat ending was filmed for the film’s theatrical release. Instead of seeing Ash stare out over a post-apocalyptic London, audiences saw him regale his S-Mart coworkers with his exploits before proving their truth by taking out an errant Deadite in the middle of the store.
