Evil Dead II (also known in publicity materials as Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) is a 1987 American black comedy horror film directed by Sam Raimi; it is a sequel to his 1981 horror film The Evil Dead. The film is written by Raimi and Scott Spiegel. Evil Dead II was produced by Robert Tapert and stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who vacations with his girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods. He discovers an audio tape of recitations from a book of ancient texts, and when the recording is played, it unleashes a number of demons which possess and torment him.

As with the first film, Evil Dead II has accumulated a large, international cult following. A direct sequel utilizing Raimi’s original premise, Army of Darkness, followed in 1992. It was later followed by a soft reboot and continuation, Evil Dead, which was released in 2013, and a television series, Ash vs Evil Dead, which aired from 2015 to 2018.

Now, Space Goat Productions presents, Demonic Hordes! Possessed Parents! Severed Hands! Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead by Dawn kicks Ash into high gear, picking up right where Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s movie left off! ‘Dead’ Annie Knowby get plunged into Hell. Armed with the Kandarian Dagger and the Ex-Mortis, Annie fights off hordes of Deadites (and Ash’s severed hand!) in her quest to save her parents’ souls. But will the book and the dagger be enough? And where’s Ash when you need him??

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, The story begins with a brief recap of Evil Dead 2 from Annie Knowby’s perspective, up until she dies by the evil hand of Ash Williams. Shortly after Ash is sucked into a swirling vortex, sending him to 1300 AD, the entire cabin begins to rumble from something underground, and eventually the cabin and all of its contents fall into Hell. Annie wakes up and states that she doesn’t feel like she’s dead. After fighting a group of demons using the Kandarian Dagger from inside the cabin, she finds that the souls of her mother and father have been swallowed by a demon known as Rabisu. She decides that she is going to free her parents, but she can’t do it alone. She heads back to the cabin and using the pages of Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, her blood, and the evil hand of Ash, she creates a simulacrum copy of Ash.

Next in issue #2, This Ash doesn’t remember anything after cutting off his hand, so Annie fills him in the rest of the story. Ash is angry with Annie because she opened the portal that accidentally sucked the real him back in time with the evil and that he doesn’t have a soul (which also went with the real Ash back to 1300 AD). She tells him that because he doesn’t have a soul, the demons that roam Hell have no need to attack him, and he’s perfect to rescue her parents from Rabisu. On their way to save her parents, they find a doorway back to the living world, but the pages of the Necronomicon tells them they need the blood of a virgin, but unfortunately they both lost their virginity. Ash says he will go rescue Annie’s parents while Annie will find a virgin to get blood from… all of a sudden Ash turns into a Deadite and attacks Annie…

Finally in issue #3, Annie struggles with the Deadite Ash and manages to change him back to normal. They part ways as Ash heads off to confont a demon and Annie seeks out a virgin. Annie finds a virgin and takes a sample of his blood, opening the doorway and Ash stabs Rabisu in his stomach full of souls, causing him pop like a balloon. He finds the Knowby family and puts their souls in the Dagger. Ash and Annie return to the world of the living and decide to free the souls trapped in the Dagger. Annie says that there was a price to pay for releasing the souls, and that it was just the beginning of something bigger.
