The cross-over no one expected is back for an Omnibus Encore, combining three volume into one epic book! Too big for the movie or television screen, Dynamite presents the ultimate, kicka** crossover tale as Ash and his Army of Darkness meets Xena, the Warrior Princess!

Chapter 1: Written by John Layman and illustrated by Miguel Montenegro, we begin with Ashley J. Williams transported to the world of Xena and Gabrielle! Throw in the Necronomicon and an evil, little Ash taking charge of a group of fairies (the winged kind) and you've got yourselves one rollicking adventure!

Chapter 2: After the events of their last meet-up, Ash is back in "real" time and Xena and Gabby are back where they started, but they're not going to stay there, not if the Necronomicon has anything to do with it!

Chapter 3: Xena, Warrior Princess, has toppled nations through the force of her will. She's captained the deadliest pirate crew ever to sail the seas. She even turned her back on her past, seeking redemption for her darker acts alongside her partner Gabrielle. And yet, despite her propensity for defeating all odds, her thousand-strong army has fallen to an implacable and ancient evil. Her only recourse? To use the dreaded Necronomicon to summon Ash Williams - the wise-ass, butt-kicking, smooth-talkin' demon-killer from the future - for aid! But how can Xena save the world when that chainsaw-wielding knucklehead's every temporal mishap threatens to unravel time itself?

By JOE HARRIS and CHARLIE ADLARD Dark Horse Comics is proud to publish the comic book prequel to this fall's horror film hit-in-the-making! The Tooth Fairy: The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon serves as a prologue to the film, recounting the century-old events that set a horrifying cycle of violence in motion. The movie stars Emma Caulfield (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and is slated for January 2003 release. The comic book is written by Joe Harris (X-Men) and drawn by Charlie Adlard (The X-Files). The comic focuses on a defining moment in the history of Port Fairy, a small fishing village. Matilda Dixon, a once-beautiful, now-disfigured widow has developed a special relationship with the children of Port Fairy. They bring her their recently shed baby teeth in exchange for coins. However, the mask-clad Dixon's familiarity with the town's children alarms their parents, and when two children go missing a lynch mob gathers to make Matilda pay... In The Tooth Fairy: The Tragic Life of Matilda Dixon, Joe Harris and Charlie Adlard have crafted a horrifying yet heartbreaking tale of loss and loneliness. The claustrophobic small-mindedness of Port Fairy conjures up images of the Salem witch trials and the tragic ending of the book sets the stage for the vengeance and neo-gothic horror of the upcoming Tooth Fairy film. On sale January 1 FC, 32pg (one-shot) . . . $2.99 Cover price $2.99.
