Watch the Full “Ash vs Evil Dead” #SDCC Panel
Several days ago, “Ash vs Evil Dead” premiered a full trailer ahead of the San Diego Comic Con that was deemed “too gory” for the event. Packed with jokes, viscera, and gallons upon gallons of fake blood, it looks like the second season is going to keep up the frantic and exciting energy that the first season brought us.
At the Comic Con, Starz held a panel for the show with stars Bruce Campbell, Lee Majors, Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and Ted Raimi as well as executive producers Sam Raimi and Bob Tapert. If you weren’t able to attend the con, then don’t worry as the full panel has been put online and you can watch it below!
If you haven’t watched the first season, be warned that there are spoilers raised during the discussions.
“Ash vs Evil Dead” returns to Starz this October.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
