Let’s look closer into those two iconic characters: Both are wildly different. The Halloween franchise features Myers as that brutal, almost supernatural slasher, delivering iconic terrifying moments while those gory deaths are its core aspect which drives the narratives in the storyline; it is really the main thing which this kind of horror classic builds its storylines upon.   But the Evil Dead franchise blends gory body horror with outrageous comedy.   Think of Ash Williams! He is a total badass action hero fighting against demonic forces that rival those of ancient and more modern eras!

Ash's resilience across the Evil Dead timeline is legendary.   He's faced an immense number of challenges and endured some extremely brutal encounters; with battles against the Deadites in many wildly different eras, such as those found in Army of Darkness. He consistently makes use of a surprisingly basic weapons arsenal (the chainsaw arm and a shotgun) that become his main methods in battle, emphasizing that having basic and widely-used tools might become the perfect solution and may surpass most of those super-powerful technological enhancements in other sci-fi themed horror classics. Myers, on the other hand,  becomes more and more supernatural as that storyline moves on, evolving his character; making his existence almost invincible as a character–particularly within storylines that imply even dying doesn’t limit his capability of wreaking further havoc upon everyone. The ability to revive only further emphasizes why this particular foe may become far more difficult for anyone, even someone with extensive skills against supernatural foes!

That's an amazing battle!  Considering both Ash's combat experience against tons of monstrous foes throughout that epic saga that completely redefined many key aspects regarding what had become known already, versus those truly iconic horror experiences and murders that define Myers; a brutal villain capable of relentless and horrific attacks, that decision of declaring a clear victor may actually seem impossible!  Ash’s diversity and ability to overcome truly unbelievable circumstances could give him the upper hand, especially those encounters that went far beyond what might've been considered simple kills for any average villain! It highlights that extreme levels of difficulty do not guarantee the ability to withstand incredibly powerful and unpredictable enemies.  

Yet, it is just as important to consider how formidable Myers actually is, too. Those truly violent actions have consistently delivered fear for those around him; the very person who has become a legendary icon in horror, largely because of that specific focus, demonstrating why a careful planning strategy may not necessarily work out for Ash in certain circumstances and these conditions remain largely unexplored in this crossover; emphasizing why further explorations should certainly become possible! And remember– If Ash doesn't ensure he definitively ends his adversary for good, that could result in another very serious outcome—considering just how legendary this supernatural killer's survival rates truly are.  These would result in yet another encounter with an even deadlier villain that no other individual had endured previously in earlier parts of his series. This encounter’s possibilities make it all the more intriguing and the sheer amount of speculative possibilities become its ultimate charm, making its exploration worthwhile and creating an epic tale of conflict that fans would adore and really eagerly anticipate in any potential crossover plot points.

Semmens' art is brilliant–perfectly capturing the essence of these wildly contrasting styles into one incredibly enjoyable crossover art that depicts what everyone really hopes will someday happen! The entire scene displays how even those characters with massively divergent origins, could exist within that shared context. These distinct attributes of those iconic figures are really important and those aspects perfectly demonstrated through this art further shows why those very kinds of crossover elements, even if just visually are extremely compelling, even for non-fans and really generates intrigue and discussion amongst everyone.
