Less a classic " Star Trek " adventure than a " Star Trek "-flavored action flick, shot in the frenzied, handheld, cut-cut-cut style that’s become Hollywood’s norm, director J.J. Abrams’ latest could have been titled "The Bourne Federation."

The plot pits the Enterprise crew against an intergalactic terrorist named John Harrison ( Benedict Cumberbatch , giving his honeyed baritone a workout), who’s waging war on the Federation for mysterious personal reasons. There’s a joke, an argument, a chase, a spaceship battle, or a brutal close-quarters firefight every five minutes, but all the action is intimately tied to character. The major players, particularly Chris Pine’s James T. Kirk and Zachary Quinto ’s Mr. Spock, are as finely shaded as the incarnations played by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy . This new voyage of the starship Enterprise is brash, confident, and often brutally violent, and features the most lived-in production design I’ve seen in a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster since " Minority Report ." 

Why, then, is the film ultimately disappointing? I suspect it’s the pop culture echo chamber effect: Abrams and his screenwriters ( Robert Orci , Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof ) are so obsessed with acknowledging and then futzing around with what we already know about Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty and company that the movie doesn’t breathe. "Star Trek Into Darkness" is peppered with nods to past films and episodes: Kirk’s impetuous decision-making and horndog sexual proclivities; Spock’s denial of his half-humanness; Dr. McCoy’s cranky witticisms; Scotty’s protestations of what he and the ship “canna” do; references to tribbles and neutral zones and the Harry Mudd incident. The central plotline refers to one of Trek’s most celebrated storylines — a callback that alternately seems to honor the original, then turn it on its head, then honor it again. The final act includes an homage to one of the most famous scenes in the entire Trek canon — but this, too, is an inversion, or appears to be, until the script springs another whiplash reversal.

The story starts with a " Raiders of the Lost Ark "-like action sequence: Kirk, Spock and the gang are embroiled in a secret mission on a red jungle planet filled with superstitious tribespeople whose lives are threatened by a volcanic eruption. The correct thing to do is leave Mr. Spock behind, because going back to rescue him would violate the Federation’s Prime Directive against messing with the natural development of primitive cultures. It’s in this opening sequence, for better or worse, that the movie establishes a vexing narrative pattern: The characters have urgently necessary arguments about the morally, ethically, and procedurally correct thing to do in a crisis, then one character (usually Kirk) makes a unilateral, straight-from-the-gut decision that worsens everything; and yet somehow at the end he’s rewarded, or at least not seriously punished.

We’re given to understand that it’s always a good thing to prize personal friendship and loyalty above the concerns of one’s crew, ship, federation or species. Sometimes the reward is quite deliberate — as in the end scene, which finds Kirk being celebrated as a hero after making what looked to me like a series of catastrophic rookie mistakes that ended dozens of lives. Other times it’s as if the cosmos itself is rewarding or at least protecting Kirk, as when he loses command of the Enterprise for his behavior on the primitive planet, then gets it back thanks to another sudden plot twist. A good alternate title for this movie would be the name of one of Steven Soderbergh ’s great books about filmmaking: "Getting Away With It: Or, the Further Adventures of the Luckiest Bastard You Ever Saw." The Federation itself seems to have plenty in common with Kirk: Both the opening mission and a subsequent intergalactic act of aggression are presented as having grave consequences if they fail, then the film just sort of writes them off with a shrug, as if to say, “Well, that’s all in the past, and as long as it doesn’t happen again, no harm, no foul.” (Has anyone in the Federation actually honored the Prime Directive?)

Yes, the film’s stumblebum plotting comes from a desire to give the audience what it wants: Kirk in command, flying by the seat of his tight pants; Spock learning it’s OK to acknowledge and act on his emotions, and that there’s more to life than following rules; etc. But surely there were more elegant ways to get us there! Abrams makes the 23rd century look like a place of actions and consequences, in which humans and other creatures might actually live, think and feel, in a world in which a fall of more than ten feet could break a leg, lava can melt flesh, and people who are dead stay dead. But he also tells stories in which various practices, rules and laws, including Starfleet tactical procedures, the Prime Directive, and gravity, have no narrative weight. Too much of "Star Trek Into Darkness" has what I call a “playground storytelling” sensibility: “Lie down, you’re dead. Never mind, you’re alive again — now fight!” This narrative flailing-about isn’t merely amateurish, it’s at odds with the gritty production design and pseudo-documentary camerawork and references to 9/11 and the War on Terror. It takes a great artist to be both serious and silly. Abrams, for all his enthusiasm, ain’t it.

For all its sloppiness and blind spots and fanboy pirouettes, though, "Star Trek Into Darkness" is still an involving film with more heart than most summer blockbusters. Abrams’ roots in TV ( Felicity , Alias , Lost ) seem to have made him attentive to the dynamics of groups, and to the repeated phrases and gestures that bond viewers to characters. Pine’s beefy frat-boy Kirk is appealing, especially when he’s being called on the carpet; Pine has several strong scenes opposite Cumberbatch’s Harrison and Bruce Greenwood ’s mentor-father figure, Capt. Pike, in which Pine is overmatched as both character and actor but uses the imbalance to enhance the scene. Sometimes you see terror in Kirk’s eyes as he blusters; his vulnerability makes you root for him even though his “I gotta be me!” philosophy destroys careers and ends lives.

Quinto’s Spock is equal to, but different than, Leonard Nimoy’s incarnation, and it’s a relief to see that Abrams has made the destruction of Vulcan in the first film a key component of the character’s psychology. As Spock explains to communications officer Uhura ( Zoe Saldana ), his main squeeze, it’s not that he can’t feel any emotion, it’s that he’s decided he’s better off not feeling it: this Spock is a Holocaust survivor who has adopted numbness as a survival strategy. Uhura, Simon Pegg ’s Scotty, John Cho ’s Sulu, Anton Yelchin ’s Chekov, and Karl Urban ’s “Bones” McCoy have their moments, too; they behave like plausibly real people even when the script is asking them to do and say things that common sense tells us is horse manure, and their presences lend the film a dignity it doesn’t earn.

Thanks for this guide. No fast food tie-ins this time around, though?

Report coming on that soon :)

Any chance for toy starships or is that it with Kreo? I think Playmates missed the boat without making the KELVIN, wish Hasbro would devote some time to it.

Hasbro toy ships are coming in Kre-O form and as the Fighter Pods caricature-style USS Enterprise. There should be at least one Into Darkness ship in the new Hot Wheels range, but we don't know what ship yet.

why is there a movie novelization when the movie steals half of its plot from Diane Carey's "Dreadnought!"?

"Giacchino also wrote two hours of new music for the Star Trek video game, so we can only hope that gets some sort of release as well" In line with http://www.thetrekcollective.com/2013/06/into-darkness-catch-up-part-2-music.html, this should be Chad Seiter.

Thanks Ishmal, must have forgotten to update that at the time. Fixed now!

Is there going to be a USB drive containing the movie (As per the first movie) ??

I've yet to hear of any sort of USB releases.

It appears that the only novels (prose not graphic) are the movie tie-ins and the Khan series. Am I reading that correctly or have I missed something? I'd love to find out more about the nuTrekverse but (sorry, guys) I have zero interest in comic book versions. Give me words! :-)

Unfortunately so Kathleen. There are some Starfleet Academy books set in this timeline, but that's it for prose (aside from the novelization). There were four adult novels written, to be set between the two films, but they were cancelled.

Wow. That's just so...sad. Do they think text-based books are too hard for nuTrek fans or something?

Speculation is that Bad Robot exerted influence to get Pocket Books to pull the plug, for whatever reason (wanting to maintain creative control over the new timeline maybe). But the exact reason hasn't been publicly disclosed, beyond the suggestion they were leaving space in the development period of Into Darkness. With Into Darkness out now, I believe the authors involved have suggested the books (which were all written, being pulled just months before publication), would need rewrites if they were ever to see publication later. Here are the preliminary blurbs and covers that were released: http://www.thetrekcollective.com/2010/01/covers-and-blurbs-for-new-movie-books.html

A Look At 2013 -- Star Trek Into Darkness

So, what’s the single most-exciting Star Trek offering on the way in 2013? Chances are you’re with us in thinking that it’ll be Star Trek Into Darkness , which will beam into theaters on May 17. Just to put it all in one place, here’s what can be revealed so far. J.J. Abrams is back in the director’s chair and the Star Trek (2009) core cast is back, too: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin. Newcomers include Benedict Cumberbatch (as a character identified as John Harrison), Alice Eve (as Dr. Carol Marcus) and Peter Weller.Here’s the plot synopsis, direct from Paramount Pictures: “In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness . When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.”Meanwhile, fans have been treated to several images:

The dark zone was a negative energy field which emanated from the space amoeba .

In 2268 , the USS Enterprise encountered this zone which was described by Captain James T. Kirk as a hole in space . It laid directly in line with the course that Lieutenant Commander Spock had calculated for the USS Intrepid and the Gamma 7A solar system , both of which contact had been lost with. A telemetry probe was launched into the zone but was destroyed shortly after.

Spock had insufficient information for an analysis of the dark area. The computers contained nothing on this phenomenon as it was beyond their experience . Unable to determine what it was, Spock determined that it was not liquid , gaseous , or solid despite the fact they could not see through it, and it was also not a galactic nebula such as the Coalsack .

However, since their deflector shields were activated by it, the area seemed to be some form of energy but nothing that could be identified by sensors . Kirk questioned if it was possible that it killed the Gamma 7A system and the Intrepid , which Spock concluded was very possible.

The area of darkness was probed again for further information which resulted in penetrating an unknown boundary layer and entering a zone of energy which was incompatible with their living and mechanical processes. As they drew closer to the source, it grew stronger and they grew weaker. Engines were stopped as they sought a defense against an energy drain which seemed to pervade the zone and absorbed all forms of energy whether mechanically or biologically produced. It was determined that the zone was not the source of the power drain, but rather the space amoeba was. ( TOS : " The Immunity Syndrome ")

We were wary because that's a notoriously dangerous place to drive. Then, poof, the front-right tire blows," Cumberbatch recalled. "So we got the spare, but that meant getting all of our luggage out. We were like sitting ducks, adverts for -- not prosperity necessarily but materialism."

Review by Branson Reese 21

Wish I had just said this sucked. Oh well. Please don't screenshot my reviews and post them on twitter. I'm using this site to put down my thoughts, not trying to ignite a discourse.

Review by Bill Chambers ½ 20

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I hate this movie for all its cutesy quoting of Wrath of Khan while trying and spectacularly failing to sublet its gravitas. I hate it for casting the whitest actor on Earth as a man named Khan Noonien Singh. I hate it for the way that every shot in the back half is a three-ring circus of lens flares, cluttered sets, and CGI embellishments. I hate it for turning Spock into Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory". I hate it for its abuse of Leonard Nimoy's fealty to the franchise and to J.J. Abrams, reducing Old Spock to a fortune-teller Young Spock now keeps on speed dial. I hate this movie, this hacky, weightless, soulless "Muppet Babies" theme-episode of a movie.

Review by mulaney ★★★½ 4

i'll be honest, if this movie was only the window hand scene with kirk & spock on loop i would give it five stars without batting an eye

Review by Matt Singer ★★ 4

There are some lovely character moments here, lots of fun references to the history of the series, and some of the coolest shots of the Enterprise ever. Unfortunately, in order to enjoy them, you have to wade through the half of the movie featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as John Harrison/Character Redacted, which is just beyond dumb. His plan is dumb, his mystery benefactor’s plan is dumb, the way Kirk and Spock stop him is dumb, and the repetition of scenes from Wrath of Khan is really dumb.

J.J. Abrams and the material are at cross-purposes. Abrams is all about his mystery box schtick, while a Khan redux makes very little sense when it becomes nothing but plot twists. Someone should have told Abrams playing coy in his usual fashion did not suit this story at all. Despite his subject, he never realized the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.

Review by Lucy ★★★½ 4

benadryl cumbersome can suck my foot for trying to ruin this series with his crap acting

Review by Nakul ★★★½ 3

(this review of star trek into darkness comes from someone who has never actually seen any original star trek movie/series and who knows very little about star trek universe)

So, no idea why fans hate this movie but i enjoyed it more than Star Trek (2009). Not without its flaws, but JJ Abrams puts together an enjoyable summer blockbuster, that successful interweaves exciting action set-pieces with fun humour & character moments. I was more invested in the characters this time around and loved the interplay between them. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch was way better than Eric Bana. The movie is sometimes dumb & full of plot holes but JJ Abrams keeps the pace so fast (it's his trick), that it gives you no…

Review by Jamelle Bouie ★½ 4

Nothing but a mish-mash of post-THE DARK KNIGHT blockbuster cliches and Abrams‘ “mystery box” bullshit. This movie sucks ass.

Review by Jay ★★ 1

nothing says star trek like spock brutally beating benedict cumberbatchs face whilst flying above a burning city

Review by DirkH ★★ 32

Film #18 of 'It's June Jim, but not as we know it.' 

I have seen a couple of reviews by people starting with declaring that they are not Star Trek fans. I'd like to start by saying that I am one. A big one. A huge Trekkie.

J.J. Abrahams isn't. This film has nothing to do with Star Trek.

I've seen a couple of interviews with Abrahams proclaiming he was never a Star Trek guy, saying that it was too philosophical for him. With the first Star Trek film he wanted to make a science fiction film situated in the Star Trek universe, but make it a film accessible for both fans of the show and those who didn't know…

Review by Jake Cole ★½

I've only just gotten into TNG and sporadically watched TOS, so I'm not a die-hard at all, but this is so far from what Star Trek is it is truly repulsive. "I thought we were explorers," Scotty protests right around the time I thought the same thing, but the idealism of Gene Roddenberry is unfashionable, so instead we get slick cynicism and an utter lack of consequences. To begin the film with a casual violation of the Prime Directive that invites a punishment that lasts all of three minutes is an insult; what is the point of Pike trying to teach Kirk about respect if Abrams and his trifecta of the worst screenwriters in Hollywood intend to let him off…

Review by olivia ★★★★½ 2

captain james t kirk if you read this i’m free on thursday n would like to hang out. please respond to this n then hang out with me on thursday when i’m free

Review by ejay ☆ ★★★

When Captain Kirk despairingly said, “I’m scared, Spock. Help me not be. How do you choose not to feel?” as his supposed last words, Spock pensively responded, “I do not know. Right now I am failing,” showing his human vulnerability—as rightly so—once more.

That alone was the most emotional moment in the entire series that touched on the dynamics of their brotherly bond, making for a fitting sentiment of tenderheartedness.

Star Trek: Best Book-Only Characters

• The Star Trek novels introduce unique characters like Akaar and Treir, adding depth to the expansive Starfleet universe.
• Characters like Nick Keller and Elias Vaughn bring new perspectives to the post- DS9 era, facing challenging galactic events.
• Mackenzie Calhoun leads the USS Excalibur in a new hero ship series, showcasing tactical genius in the New Frontier books.

Just like the universe itself, the Star Trek franchise is huge and far-reaching, encompassing several television shows, and numerous video games, movies, and books. While many of Star Trek 's most iconic characters appear in various series and films, there are many other great characters who only feature in alternative media sources. For instance, the final frontier has spawned some memorable video game-based characters .

Star Trek: 8 Most Powerful Federation Starships, Ranked

Yet perhaps the richest source of characters is the now questionably canon series of books that take place following The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine . From fresh takes on classic species like the Andorians and Orions, to some of Starfleet's finest officers, the Star Trek novels are a treasure trove of notable figures.

Leonard James Akaar

First appearence: star trek mission gamma book one: twilight.

• Author: David R. George III
• Publication Date: September 2002

Leonard James Akaar is unique among novel-only characters in that he does, in fact, make a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance on televised Trek . "Friday's Child," an episode of The Original Series , ends with his birth; however, the Capellan royal would not be seriously fleshed out until 2002's Mission Gamma: Twilight . By the time of the Deep Space 9 novels, Akaar had risen through the ranks of Starfleet to become an influential admiral with the ear of the Federation president.

Akaar's strategic mindset and steely resolve proved essential in preserving the Federation through some of its darkest periods, including the Borg invasion depicted in the Star Trek: Destiny series. The Starfleet legend may have been born in The Original Series , but the Star Trek novels were where he made his name.

First Appearence: Star Trek: Demons of Air and Darkness

• Author: Keith R. A. DeCandido
• Publication Date: September 2001

Star Trek features many inspirational female characters, from Kira Nerys to Katherine Janeway. However, few are as resourceful or as motivated as Treir , an Orion Dabo girl who transformed Quark's Bar into a highly successful business during the post- DS9 novels. Following her escape from Orion servitude, Treir earned her place as Quark's right-hand woman by implementing a series of radical reforms, including hiring a Dabo boy to attract more customers.

Star Trek: The Fates Of Every Live-Action TV Show's Main Character

Treir may not play a significant role in the canon-shattering events depicted in the Deep Space 9 novels, but this ruthless businesswoman helped to make Star Trek 's prose universe feel like a living, breathing place. If anyone is capable of giving Quark a run for his latinum, it's her.

Nick Keller

First appearence: star trek new earth: challenger.

• Author: Diane Carey
• Publication Date: August 2000

New Earth , a series of six novels that take place between Star Trek: The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan , was intended to act as a backdoor pilot for a new narrative focusing on Commander Nick Keller . In the final novel, Keller takes command of a makeshift starship in order to defend the human colony of Belle Terre from alien attack. Keller was conflicted between overthrowing his inept captain and preserving the lives of his comrades, and it's a great shame that a full series based on the space cowboy's adventures never emerged.

Interestingly, author Diane Carey based Keller's appearance on Scott Bakula, who would go on to play Captain Jonathan Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise . Keller, however, would make only two more appearances in the Star Trek universe, with both being part of the multi-series Gateways crossover event.

Elias Vaughn

First appearence: star trek: avatar (book one).

• Author: S. D. Perry
• Publication Date: July 2001

Elias Vaughn was a Starfleet officer and intelligence operative who joined Deep Space 9's command staff following the end of the Dominion War . Despite only holding the rank of commander, Vaughn's expertise proved a boon to the Federation outpost, and he played a role in several key events, including the USS Defiant 's post-war exploration of the Gamma Quadrant (depicted in the Mission Gamma sub-series).

Star Trek: 8 Impressive Things Kirk Did Before Joining The USS Enterprise

Vaughn was haunted by the death of his wife, Ruriko, and his troubled relationship with his estranged daughter, Prynn. This relationship was complicated by the fact that Prynn was also assigned to Deep Space 9. However, father and daughter were eventually able to reconcile–but not without some bumps along the way.

Christine Vale

First appearence: star trek: the belly of the beast.

• Author: Dean Wesley Smith

While William Riker's USS Titan has made notable appearances in Star Trek: Lower Decks , the starship's adventures were originally chronicled in a series of spin-off novels. These books featured Christine Vale , a former detective turned Starfleet officer, as Riker's second-in-command. Vale was initially unwilling to take the post, as she disliked the idea of Riker working so closely with his wife, Deanna Troi.

Luckily, Vale took the post, which allowed her to act as a counterweight to any of Riker's Troi-related biases. During her time aboard the USS Titan , she helped to explore the Beta Quadrant and fend off a Borg invasion. Indeed, her record was so good that, following Riker's promotion to admiral, she took command of the Luna -class starship.

Thirishar ch'Thane

From their initial appearance in 1967's "Journey to Babel" and 2001's "The Andorian Incident," references to Star Trek 's Andorians were true and far between. One important detail was disclosed in The Next Generation , however: Andorians have four sexes , with all four required for successful reproduction.

The character of Thirishar ch'Thane (or "Shar") was a response to this premise. Shar served as Deep Space Nine's science officer following the end of the Dominion War, but was torn between his commitments to Starfleet and to his mating group, who wished him to return to Andor. This dilemma was further complicated by a dangerous decline in Andorian fertility, which threatened to cause the Andorians' extinction in the long term. Shar was eventually able to use his scientific knowledge to help solve the Andorian fertility crisis.

The Jem'Hadar are one of Star Trek 's most iconic creations , a powerful race of warriors motivated by their addiction to the chemical ketracel-white. During the Dominion War of 2373–2375, the Jem'Hadar were central to the Dominion assaults which nearly overwhelmed the Federation Alliance.

8 Best Starfleet Ships During The Dominion War

After the war's conclusion, Taran'atar , a Jem'Hadar without a ketracel-white dependency, was sent to Deep Space Nine as a cultural observer. Taran'atar's struggle to adjust to the Alpha Quadrant during peacetime makes for fascinating reading, as does seeing the fearsome warrior growing closer to his former enemies. Taran'atar's story takes some strange twists and turns, but he remains a fascinating character.

Mackenzie Calhoun

First appearence: star trek new frontier: house of cards.

• Author: Peter David
• Publication Date: July 1997

In 1997, Pocket Books published the first of Peter David's New Frontier books. While these novels included several characters from TV Trek (mostly notably Commander Shelby from "The Best of Both Worlds" ), they focused on a new hero ship, the USS Excalibur , and a new captain: Mackenzie Calhoun . Calhoun, an alien warrior modeled after Mel Gibson, was depicted as a tactical genius capable of beating Starfleet's toughest challenges–including the infamous Kobayashi Maru test.

Calhoun soon became a fan-favorite, with his New Frontier series including over 20 volumes. The Xenanian captain was even popular enough to be made into an action figure, the only example of this honor being bestowed on a character originating from any of Star Trek 's novels.

Evil dead reveals the terrifying final fate of the necronomicon.

The Necronomicon takes a whole new form to torment Ash, the lead of Evil Dead, in a whole new way. Evil refuses to die, but it does evolve its terror.

• The Evil Dead's Necronomicon survives in an unexpected way, evolving into a child in Army of Darkness Forever #6.
• Even the destruction of its pages cannot destroy the evil book for good, as it is reborn in a new form.
• Evil persists in the form of the Necronomicon, tormenting Ash and others in the Evil Dead franchise.

Warning: Spoilers for Army of Darkness Forever #6! Just when fans were certain that the destruction of the Necronomicon 's pages would spell the end of the evil tome, The Evil Dead confirms that the Book of the Dead is destined for an entirely different fate. Previously, the comic sequel Army of Darkness Forever suggested that in a post-apocalyptic future, the book will inevitably and literally be in pieces at the end of the world .

Now, a new discovery made in Army of Darkness Forever #6 by Tony Fleecs, Justin Greenwood, Brad Simpson, Troy Peteri, Joe Rybandt, and Marshall Hoyt - reveals that the Necronomicon will evolve into a child.

The revelation is as shocking as it is terrifying. Ash and the protagonists who follow in his footsteps are constantly doomed by evil perspiring from this book, and not even the destruction of its pages can destroy it for good. Evil never dies, and apparently, neither will the Necronomicon .

The Evil Dead: BOTH Army of Darkness Endings are Canon (Theory Explained)

The evil dead's book resurrects in an unexpected way, the necronomicon is back as a baby.

The comic series acts as a continuation of the original deleted ending of Army of Darkness . Ash Williams awakens in a post-apocalyptic future demanding the Wiseman's help to return to his time. That proves easier said than done when the Necronomicon is reduced to pages, but on the Wiseman's advice, Ash scavenges the world around him to locate every single missing page. When he assembles all the missing pages, even without the cover binding, Ash is encouraged to recite those cursed words — " Klaatu barada nikto " — again. However, he must do it perfectly this time if he wants to return home.

Ash does exactly that, but instead of returning home, the Necronomicon takes on a new, living, whole shape. The Necronomicon is proving to be the personification of a cockroach: it just keeps coming back no matter how hard it gets stomped out . In this case, it appeared that the Necronomicon was gone forever once it was reduced to pages, but clearly, that isn't the case. Or, rather, the classic form of the Necronomicon has ceased to exist. That's what gives the book its cockroach quality, the fact that even when it is seemingly destroyed, it becomes reborn as something completely different.

Nothing Can Destroy Evil Dead's Worst Book

Its rebirth is inevitable and literal.

Evil has haunted whoever has stepped in front of the Necronomicon throughout the Evil Dead franchise. The book has been a burden upon Ash, and now, it burdens him as a child. Evil as persistent as the Necronomicon doesn't die as much as it evolves. It not only evolves in the shape it takes to torment those who encounter it, but it evolves in the way it torments people around it. Now, the Necronomicon is doing far more than just sending demons after Ash like it has in past Evil Dead entries, but it's now becoming a pesty child to burden him in whole new ways.

Army of Darkness Forever #6 is available now from Dynamite Comics.

Created by Sam Raimi, Evil Dead is a horror-comedy franchise that began with the release of the original film, The Evil Dead, in 1981. The series follows protagonist Ashley "Ash" Williams as he and his friends venture into a cabin for a vacation only to discover it harbors a demonic book that can summon terrifying creatures known as Deadites, hell-bent on torturing and slaying them all. As the series progresses, Ash becomes more of a masculine B-movie action hero until the soft reboot helmed by Eli Roth occurs, which shifts the franchise deeper into its horror roots.
