I don’t know why they keep making books or comic adaptations based on movies or TV shows. There is little to nothing added to the original material that can make it better. And in this case, since the original author (Sam Raimi) didn’t contribute anything, I don’t really care what they have to offer.
The story is the same (OMG! I can’t believe it!) as the movie. Mark Verheiden added a couple of new scenes, like some back story for the characters before they get on the road to the cabin. Wow.
This first issue gets roughly to almost the middle part of the movie, where Cheryl was floating in midair, possessed. I guess Verheiden wrote more scenes for the rest of the 3 issues. I can only see this adaptation done on three at the most, but not four! This is just milking it.
The art is beautifuly painted by John Bolton (he did the Army of Darkness adaptation as well). For some of the panels it seems like he painted over the film, which are very well done, I might add. One thing to notice is that only Bruce Campbell’s likeness was used. The rest of the cast doesn’t look the same as they did in the movie. I’m also nitpicking here, but the wardrobe wore by the rest of the characters is different. (Grade: C)
