Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Not sure what's going on.  I'm just not as crazy as I'd hoped I"d be about the Army of Darkness graphic novels. I love the movies, I love graphic novels, and these are by no means bad.   I'm just not feeling them. 

Maybe it was the somewhat epic scope of the movies.   Sometimes that just can't be captured properly in any other medium.   And I do know I feel that the mixture of comedy, romance, and horror is just slightly off here, as it focuses heavily on one and the other instead of melding them completely, but I must emphasize the 'slightly.'   In the end, I'm left with a vague sense of confusion as to why I'm not rabidly fangirling over this: I should be.  I'm not. 

This is also a prequel to Ash Gets Hitched.   Clearly I'm not reading these in order.   Maybe that's adding to my sense of 'eh.'   Then again, Humble Bundle doesn't make it clear which order they come in - not that they promised they would - and I'm tired of weeding through websites to find it out and then finding the proper one, downloading it - yes, I do have so many Humble Bundle books that my puny MacBook Air memory is full - and then reading it and putting it on a flash drive.   (Note to self: look for flash drives on sale tomorrow!)

Anyway, there were a lot of positives.   When this got into a groove - horror, and comedy mostly, which was good as it would have been too mushy for me with too much of a focus on the romance - it was really good.   It was funny, it had some twists I didn't see coming, and it was in character.   The art was really evocative, too.   

I enjoyed it, I just can't say I enjoyed it enough to be a four star read.   And in the end, I had multiple complaints, but it didn't feel like a three or three-and-a-half star complaint as I was only bothered a tiny bit by each thing.
