That makes some more sense. But what is Evil Dead actually bringing to the table in this crossover then? Frank already escaped the Cenobites once, he's proven himself resurrectable and in this case, he's just leveled up slightly. I think what you need to do is really examine what makes evil dead distinctive. I'm a submissions editor and have handled a lot of story and book pitches and the thing about high concepts is that the high concept needs to be milked for all of its resources. What you have here is just an undead menace in a world where the undead menace was already an undead menace. Were this at all possible, you would have to think of the fact that adding a world and buying the rights to one generates a lot of cogs. So there need to be really good reasons for someone to do it. The Army of Darkness comics always manage to do a good job of this, as does the Hack/Slash series.
