Rudy's Realm: Freddy vs Jason vs Ash: The Nightmare Warriors #1

Freddy vs Jason vs Ash: The Nightmare Warriors #1

The 80's horror icons are back but this a sequel anyone wanted?

The story opens on Crystal Lake, six months after the events of the first Freddy vs Jason vs Ash mini, as government agents retrieve the Necronomicon and also try to recover the corpse of Jason Voorhees but Freddy Krueger, disguised as Jason's mother, wills Jason to arise, find Ash Williams and kill him as his soul is special.




Ash, on the other hand, has decided to retire from S-Mart and the hero biz to enjoy downtime with his girl Carrie. But the peace is short lived as a Dr. Burroughs comes to his door with a message of warning about Freddy, which Ash doesn't take seriously until he sees Krueger and Voorhees handy work.

If you haven't read the original miniseries you may get lost as to how Ash from the Evil Dead movies got mixed into Freddy vs Jason lore but to be honest if you bought this you're a fan of at least one if not every series. The writers put in easter eggs for long time Nightmare fans with the inclusion of Alice and her son Jacob (last seen in A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child) and a reference to Dr. Neil Gordon but the government's involvement and plans as seen so far seem to detract from the plot.
