Most of them are okay
Pamela's Tale is pretty good.
Jason Vs Leatherface reads so much like a slash fic it's a must-read even though it makes hash out of both franchise's continuities.
>Are any Friday the 13th Comics actually good?
>Topps
Jason vs. Leatherface is really enjoyable, even if the last issue cuts the fight kinda short. Skip the Jason Goes to Hell adaptation and the Satan's Six crossover. Trust me.
>Avatar
Horrendously bad, with that awful "brushed sheet metal" coloring style on every issue. They do a sequel to Jason X that is kind of interesting just because it's the only sequel we'll ever get, but goddamn, still not worth it.
>Wildstorm
I didn't like the first six-issue Wildstorm miniseries because it was trying to hard to be quippy and self-referential, but the series to two-issue minis that came afterward are all really good. The Summer Vacation one was the best and there was also a one-shot called Abuser and the Abused that's worth checking out. The two Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash minis aren't very good, but you could pick up the first one as a novelty and since it's a sequel to Freddy vs. Jason. They tend to read like bad fanfiction, though.
No
Most have great kills because comics can pull off things more ridiculous.
The only one I remember being straight dogshit was the one about Pamela as a prelude where she was in a abusive relationship or something.
Ash vs Freddy vs Jason still my favorite.
You know on Bloody-disgusting.com some guy bought a box of old reels. One turned out to be a never released Friday the 13th. The movie plays the same , mysterious person going around killing campers. The twist is it's Jason Sr. an old custodian of Camp Crystal Lake carrying a sack with his dead son talking to him like the mom in the first movie.
Have they ever gone into Jason dad?
>Have they ever gone into Jason dad?
There was a really shitty reboot script in production hell just a couple years ago where Elias Voorhees starts out as the killer and wears the sack mask in the first act, Pamela is the second act, and Jason himself in the hockey mask is the third.
Part 6/Jason Lives was supposed to have a cliffhanger of Jason's dad showing up at the end; he was supposed to find out that Jason came back and the town (fearing his dad's wrath) was pretending he was still buried in his grave (in this script, the groundskeeper at the cemetery doesn't bury Tommy's dead friend and cover up Jason's resurrection until the very end).
It was dropped when they did final script revisions, when the studio point blank realized that the writers had no clue where the hell they were going to go with that ending and didn't want to deal with another unresolved dangling plotline, like Tommy going insane and becoming the next Jason.

Every subsequent portrayal (Jason vs. Leatherface, Pamela's Tale, the new video game, etc.) just has him be abusive white trash.
Nice
F13: My Summer Vacation was a hoot.
lol
Proof that Jason Aaron was never good.
>They do a sequel to Jason X that is kind of interesting just because it's the only sequel we'll ever get
There were pic related novel sequels.
Wait, Jason Aaron wrote a F13 comic?
>Wait, Jason Aaron wrote a F13 comic?
Yeah, he wrote the Friday the 13th: My Summer Vacation two-issue miniseries. It actually isn't that bad and is easily the best of Wildstorm's F13 output.
Really any time they put Jason as the "Hero" it never works.
Still I think Jason is more sympathetic then Freddy, I will always root for him there.
Well he's the "hero" by default given the meth head Sheriff wants to kill kids, and Jason I dunno if he wanted to bring the kid to his mom's grave or just enjoyed the company.
Damn I forgot he wrote this. I loved this.
Jason's not really the hero in Summer Vacation. The premise is built on that scene in Part 4 where Jason sees Tommy cosplaying as him and starts getting nostalgia tingles. In the comic, a kid with a terminal illness that makes him look like Kid Jason goes to summer camp and meets Jason. Jason takes him on a road trip to Pamela's grave because he has the same reaction that he did with Tommy. He still kills a ton of people along the way.
The movies only played him as the lesser of two evils once, in Freddy vs. Jason, and he still had a massive bodycount in that movie. Part 2 and the Reboot took a sympathetic approach to him, but he was still a full on villain in those.
>Jason, and he still had a massive bodycount in that movie
Freddy kills one guy, it's not even a contest
theyre fucking awful, each and everyone.
Characters are vapid and the writing is crass. It everything the stereotypes that precede the film share boiled into a poor and painful line of shite comics
Freddy got all the plot, though, so it was sort of a trade off.
One of the things I liked about the sequel (which isn't a lot) was that Freddy daughter joined in with him. She had the double claws that Freddy only did in the mortal Kombat game.
Planet of the Beast and To The Third Power were... not terrible.
The Experiment was dull as fuck and Death Moon was one of the worst things that I've ever read.
>and Death Moon was one of the worst things that I've ever read.
Explain.
It's honestly hard to, a lot of the book just felt like random rambling nonsense.
