Here's the August and September solicits. August Issue streets on the 17th.
When an archaeological dig unveils an important element from the world of the Army of Darkness, it ends up in the absolute worst hands of all... Dr. Herbert West. As West tinkers in God's domain, our reluctant hero is once more drawn within the sphere of destiny as he faces a triple threat of danger!
This issue: Bad Ash and Herbert have teamed up, but it's the Necronomicon that's large and in charge. And wait, what's that Ash spies with his little eyes? A portal! That can't be good, can it?
Covers by Tony Fleecs, Christopher Mitten, Arthur Suydam and Stuart Sayger, respectively.
September issue streets on the 14th:
Ancient Herbert West makes "normal" Herbert an offer he can't refuse...but, as always, the Necronomicon has plans and offers of its own!

We can't judge by the covers, they are so often made by random artists The inside art should be done by the same artist.

Yeah, the interior art should be by someone entirely different. I agree that the covers aren't too exciting, though I like the Suydams.

I'm sure Dynamite will find another series to make!
However, I was kinda disapointed that Ash didn't made the cut in Die!namite Never Dies... I'll still buy the trade paperback, because I like the crossover event, but I hope he get back in the next one.

Indeed!
I'm surprised they didn't use him in that either; he was in the second one and I think survived the whole ordeal.

When I first heard of it yesterday I got excited they were finally gonna give a shot at continuing the story from the original AoD post-apoc ending, and made a mental note not to miss it. Now I find out they're not actually committing to that storyline at all and instead are doing the same ol' tired multiple simultaneous timelines crap so they can revisit the S-Mart ending and the medieval setting again along with it, and all my interest in it vanished into thin air just like that.

I had assumed that Dynamite was using one of Sam Raimi's old ideas for Army of Darkness 2 as inspiration. If I recall correctly, Raimi had toyed with the idea of making a sequel that followed both the theatrical ending and the director's cut simultaneously. This comic seems pretty similar to that idea.

I'm intrigued by this notion of a three-way split; two timelines with Ash and judging from this art, Sheila back in 1300? This could be something different from them, if done right.

OK, I cackled at the Ash wedding one: Artists: Francesco Mattina, Arthur Suydam, Tony Fleecs and Nick Dragotta
Blurb: Stuck in the future, a heavily bearded Ash tries to track down pieces of the Necronomicon, while in the past, Sheila faces off against a horde of Deadites at Castle Kandar. And in the present day, Bad Ash is gearing up to start "surfing" the "Internet." Remember AOL? Well, it's about to become AOD!
