A one-shot based on the upcoming movie of the same name written by Mark Verheiden and starring Bruce Campbell. It's a Bruce Campbell movie. There.

Commentary:
And yet again, I was a sucker for the name Bruce Campbell.

 

I previously purchased the one-shot or whatever it was for the Man with the Screaming Brain and was let down by it. I watched the movie and immediately regret doing that as well. But there is something in my heart that will always have a place for Bruce Campbell.

But at a time in my life where I'm starting to question why Kevin Smith can't grow up, why are Cheech and Chong getting back together, I'm stuck here, reading this, and thinking, why? There is zero point to this book, and I will explain why.

It is a 22 page one-shot based on an upcoming movie that tells the story so succinctly that you're left questioning why you wasted 3.50 on this book. You're also left hoping that the movie is better than this, otherwise it will be the same scenario, only you will either waste a precious Saturday night watching this on the Sci-fi network or 10 dollars in a local theater (IF it comes out to any theaters).

The story is simple: stupid kid unleashes demon on stupid town. Stupid kid idolizes Bruce Campbell. Stupid kid kidnaps Bruce and brings him to the town to fight the demon. Bruce fights demon.

Nutshell.

Along the way, Bruce acts cowardly, people die, Bruce decides to act like a hero so the boy doesn't have to lose his idol. And there are some Chinese railroad worker ghosts and bean curd.

It's all fairly stupid.

Honestly. There really isn't much to say. I'm left questioning why the cover is a drawn cover by Bart Sears when it could have easily been the movie poster used as the cover, and in all reality, it would probably sell more copies had it used that method as well.

So to sum up, don't waste your money. If you're still interested, DVR it once it's on Sci-fi and just skip the commercials. At least then it's not 2 hours of your life you just wasted. Or 3.50 even.
