TREMBLE BEFORE THE VICTORIOUS QUEEN SONJA OF HYRKANIA! ...for now. Yea, she outwitted Dragan The Magnificent, but it is a fleeting triumph. Spies and vipers surround, awaiting the perfect time to strike. A tale of tact, trust and trepidation, by MARK RUSSELL (The Flintstones, The Wonder Twins) and MIRKO COLAK (Conan).
The Red Sonja series understands that not everything needs to be explicitly shown, and even the moments of necessary violence that occur occasionally are shown in a subdued, mature way that avoids emphasis the grotesque. Read Full Review
Mirko Colak and Bob Q deliver some fantastic art in this issue and the action and characters looked great. Read Full Review
Russell is giving us some great character material while playing to the larger story while Colak gives us some great visuals and layouts, both of which are done with a really great density to it that it feels like I'm really getting my value out of the book and not just a quick read of simple action and adventure. I'm excited for what's next once again. Read Full Review
The newest run of RED SONJA is a powerhouse series. Issue #3 continues the strong trajectory, dialing back the action a bit, but diving more into Sonja as a character. With three excellent issues under the belt, this is definitely a series to follow. Read Full Review
The story could be skipped and two different artists in the third issue make this relaunch's status shaky. The story goes nowhere, adding nothing to the conflict between forces. The inclusion of a backstory for a supporting character doesn't add anything to this issue. Two different artists' styles do not gel well. The colors are fine, but the letters have awkward moments. Three issues in and this happening? Extremely disappointing. Will Red Sonja do anything worthy of her past incarnations in this series? Read Full Review
From Flintstones to Snagglepuss to the Porky Pig one shot this, Mark Russel is so good. He is one of the best writers around, and this series does not disappoint. It was great fun. Along with this series I would also suggest his other current titles: Wonder Twins (DC) and the Lone Ranger (Dynamite). All of these series are great, but Red Sonja is the best of the three. Don't be afraid to pick this series up.
