Today it's Tim Seeley's Army of Darkness vs Hack/Slash, and it's pretty darn good. The story picks up a few months after the end of Hack/Slash the story begins with Cassie living a relatively stable life, when in walks Ashly J. Williams, hero of the Evil Dead franchise and everything goes to hell.
As crossovers are a key part of the horror genre, going as far back as Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (and if you want to get all literate, Enkidu and Grendel), so mixing these two destroyers of evil is a lot of fun. Both characters normally work as lone wolves, so to see them together is a kind of fun game of one-upmanship which is both charming and fun.
Yes the story can get quite graphic and gruesome, but it keeps the flavour of both series, and works well as a kind of capstone to Hack/Slash.
A lot of fun!
