A comic book set in an alternate (modern) version of the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' universe, published by Space Goat Publishing.
Publishing from 2015 to 2017. During the three years of publication, three different "lines" were released under the ''Evil Dead 2'' name:

* The Main Series: Following the life of a simulacrum copy of Ash Williams and the resurrected Annie Knowby. This line consisted of ''Beyond Dead By Dawn'', ''Cradle of The Damned'', and ''Dark Ones Rising'', all being three issue miniseries.
* "Revenge of" Series: A series of one-shots (and a two issue miniseries) where the simulacrum Ash faces off against non-Deadite monsters such as Dracula and Krampus.
* Tales of The Ex-Mortis: A three issue anthology series focusing on the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis prior to ending up in the cabin. Ash himself is never a featured character in any of the stories.

While most of the books were met with critical acclaim and high praises, the series was cancelled after Space Goat went bankrupt following the failure to deliver on three successful Kickstarter campaigns (two of which were ''Evil Dead 2'' related) and mismanagement within the company itself.

Added DiffLines:

* Main/HistoricalDomainCharacter: Hitler (twice), Rasputin, Jack The Ripper, and Osama Bin Laden have all been bad guys in the series.


Added DiffLines:

* Main/PublicDomainCharacter: Dracula, as featured in the ''Revenge of Dracula'' one-shot and the ''Revenge of Evil Ed'' mini-series.
* Main/SeriesContinuityError: There's some debate about where the Ash clone spent his first Christmas eve after his creation. The ''Revenge of Krampus'' one-shot states that he was living in a trailer park, spending Christmas by himself (which implies that this story takes place after the ''Revenge of Hitler'' one-shot that also featured the Ash clone living alone in the same trailer park), but then the ''A Merry Deadite X-Mas'' one-shot released just a few weeks later states that he spends Christmas eve with Annie Knowby, hunting monsters in a evil-infested Christmas theme park.

* Main/AllJustADream: The ending of ''Dark Ones Rising'' #3 reveals that [[spoiler:the Dark One's assault on New Orleans was a simulation implanted in Annie and Ash's mind to see if humanity's souls were worth collecting and feeding on. When it was over with, The Dark Ones decided that humanity has become weak and not worth harvesting yet.]]



* Main/AnotherDimension: The Mirror Dimension, which was explored in the ''Cradle of The Damned'' story-arc. It could also be considered an AcidTripDimension and EldritchLocation. Despite it's name, has nothing to do with a MirrorUniverse.



* Main/CosmicHorrorStory: ''Cradle of The Damned'' and it's sequel story-arc, ''Dark Ones Rising'' deal with The Dark Ones (better known as H.P. Lovecraft's Old Ones) unleashed upon the world after being banished to the Mirror Dimension.
* Main/EldritchAbomination: The Dark One featured in ''Dark Ones Rising''.



* ToHellAndBack: The first one-shot released after ''Beyond Dead By Dawn'', ''Revenge of Hitler'', involves the Ash clone going back into Hell to fight Hitler.

to:

* Main/HalfHumanHybrid: Since the clone of Ash Williams was created from his evil hand that was lopped off in the ''Film/EvilDead2'' film, he is technically half Deadite, a power that the some of the monsters he confronts can use against him. This could also make him a Main/HunterOfHisOwnKind.
* Main/HunterOfMonsters: The clone of Ash Williams doesn't limit himself to Deadites in this series, he takes on Vampires, Main/TheKrampus, aliens, and various demons.
* ToHellAndBack: The first one-shot released after ''Beyond Dead By Dawn'', ''Revenge of Hitler'', involves the Ash clone going back into Hell to fight Hitler.Hitler.
* Main/YourMindMakesItReal: The ending of ''Dark Ones Rising'' reveals that [[spoiler:despite the Dark One's assault on New Orleans being a "simulation", Ash has really lost his right hand...again.]]
