Ash vs. Evil Dead shows new signs of life

Hail to the king, baby




With San Diego Comic Con right around the corner, the brains behind the new Evil Dead TV series have taken a break from summoning the forces of darkness to give us our first official look at store-clerk-turned-demon-slayer Ash in action.

As you can see, Ash --flanked by his Value Stop work-colleagues-- is still at war with the forces of evil, bits of which seem to be splashed all over him and his new co-workers. Well, it wouldn't be Evil Dead without a bucket or two of gore, would it?

The new series, known as Ash vs. Evil Dead, will claw its way onto our TV screens this fall, courtesy of US cable network Starz. Conceived as a sequel to the original splatterpunk trilogy, it rejoins reluctant hero Ash, still toiling away in obscurity and trying to put his demon-slaying past to rest, years after the events of Army of Darkness.

The past, however, has a way of catching up with people, and it isn't long before Ash finds himself facing down the deadites once more. Thus begins a quest to save humankind from a plague of monsters hellbent on destruction. The question is, does Ash still have what it takes to conquer his own personal demons and save the day?

I'm gonna say go ahead and say 'yes'. Hopefully SDCC will bring with it some new Ash vs. Evil Dead footage, maybe even a trailer. For now, though, this photo will just have to tide us over while we patiently await the return of the king.
