Red Sonja is on the loose in the Big Apple-and the followers of Kulan Gath are determined to track her down. But they underestimate the She-Devil; she's adapting quickly to her new surroundings with the help of some new allies that include Max, a New York City cop with a secret past...
I can tell you this, if you've not yet hopped on board this series' wagon, you'd best get a'jumping. Dynamite has a sure-fire hit here and with a creative team of Amy Chu and Carlos Gomez at the helm there is no telling just how amazing this is going to get.

Maybe you wish this arc had Red Sonja back in her own universe, but how long before that gets old and why cant a writer switch it up? This might as well be a science fiction spin on a fantasy story, which makes it more unique than it already was and certainly not less so. Youll want to get in on this one whether youre an existing fan or not. In comics, characters dont usually age or evolve beyond a year or two before a disruptive reboot, so to see Red Sonja show up in NYC is a welcome change that you might not get otherwise.

Hopefully it stays credible as the series progresses, but so far theres no reason to think it wont. Read Full Review

Let’s cut to the chase … as far as I’m concerned, this is the best Red Sonja comic since the ‘Blue’ one-shot several years ago.
With #2, the creative team has really found its feet. The art remains blinding –Gomez doesn’t take a single panel off and only skips backgrounds when it’s absolutely necessary. He still draws a tremendously athletic and beautiful Sonja but has toned down the cheesecake shots a bit since #0, and his facial expressions and use of body language are spot on. His full-page splashes and the scenes in Central Park are particularly good but his action sequences really crackle as well. When Sonja slams two thugs’ heads together, it looks like it really hurts.
