1300 - Army of Darkness: Forever #12, "????"

This comic released a year and a half ago, you can name it now

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, probably should.

I haven't seen them myself, but if they keep bumping up the year the apocalypse started I'd use Year 1, Year 2, etc to date it

I would love a timeline of the "-of the Dead" series. Even better if an objective present day can be found, but obviously that's complicated.

 

[iceman109]

My philosophy for the timeline is that when everytime a Living Dead movie is released, the year of the apocalypse gets bumped up

 

[Pro Bot]

Makes sense. Past technology can exist in present day but present day technology can't in the past... unless it's Gotham or something.

 

[stphylcccs]

Soooo... floating timeline?

 

[Pro Bot]

Sort of, but probably without assuming that the events looked visually different if it can be helped.

When Twilight of the Dead is released, it's going to movie it up to the late 2020s

I've done some research into Army of Darkness: Forever, though I can't find a cohesive plot online anywhere. I see that it shows both the Director's Cut and Theatrical release endings as canon, but how is... up in the air. The only actually good plot summaries I got were from Gemini forcing its way to the top result, though obviously I'm not gonna take that as fact when I couldn't find any other information and how much AI will just make up stuff if it can't find an answer. What exactly is the general narrative of that series?

Basically, theatrical cut Ash is Evil Ash and director's cut Ash is normal Ash. Also, the theatrical ending is moved to 1993 or so.

There's a prequel comic showing the origin of the zombie virus in the 1960s, to make things more complicated.

What comic is that?

Also do you have ideas on where to place the comics and books?

I remember around the time Army Of Darkness Forever was being released and the author said that it was canonical to the films and TV show I asked him on Twitter if it was also canon with the dynamite comics and he said "short answer yes, it will all fit together" so I guess it's official that the Film and Comic canons are the same. The ending of the comic showing us timeline glimpses of the AOD comics, AvED and ED Rise time periods also proves that on its own

I got that, so is it two separate timelines that converge at the end of the series, or does Evil Ash ride off into the distance on a horse after normal Ash travelled to the future? Also, wouldn't that put the theatrical before the comic series?

Both endings happen in the same timeline

 

[Pro Bot]

What comic is that?

The Rise. There's another comic that canonizes vampires, XD.

I looked it up, that comic doesn't even have the apocalypse with the original movie originally being a one time localized outbreak

When do you think Empire of the Dead is set?

Yay, messy continuity stuff. Ahh... isn't Evil Dead so fun? Then it shows Evil Dead 2's intro...

Haven't read it.

My mistake, it's The Evil Dead. You can see more than two people leaving the car.

At least this proves it's all one canon I guess

Yeah technically they're not allowed to show the actual ED1 characters, since Dynamite only has the comic rights to AOD. It's why when we see deadite versions of Ash's friends in the early AOD comics they don't name them, basically going "hey these are the characters from the first film but we can't legally say it!"

Thankfully, Army of Darkness provides everything they need due to the flashbacks.

Unfortunately I deleted my Twitter a long time ago and didn't save the screenshot I don't think? You've seen some of my tweets before (not this one though) one of them got posted here I think by you where I asked the Suitable Flesh director if The Unnameable was canon

 

[Pro Bot]

Ahhh, that was you. Well, what's the guy's account name?
