Dynamite's Red Sonja is a character we all know and love, but the adaptation is something that takes (just a little) getting used to. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying it. It's an updated version of a well-loved character with nods to the old but a bold new vibe in storytelling.

This is a very good issue of a series that is far different from most other Marvel superhero offerings. Weird story + extraordinary art = a hopefully long run for our favorite mentally unstable superhero.

It's hard to argue that the storytelling of JC Lacek mixed with the artwork of Vasco Duarte isn't a home run. In comics, it's important that both the art and the dialogue tell the story; in the case of JAZZ LEGEND, the two compliment each other tremendously. It's a tough read though " in the pages of the first issue we see more vices than a prime-time TV episode. I'd definitely say this one is for older teens (which Scout Comics suggest in the promotional materials.)

There are three variant covers for this comic. Cover (A) is by Kelley Jones; (B) is a photo cover and (C) is by Ken Haeser.
