"The Brothers Of Misfortune": The Zamoran Empire musters a fleet of war chariots to rush arms and provisions to the front line. Hyrkania would be lost, were they not led by Sonja The Red, who knows it is not enough to know one's own strength, but to understand the strengths, and weaknesses, of one's opponents. By award-winning writer MARK RUSSELL (Exit Stage Left, The Wonder Twins) and MIRKO COLAK (Conan).
I'm still surprised I'm as engaged with this character as I am. I've liked my past experiences with Sonja with her previous titles and her Sword of Sorrows crossover event but it's not been a book that I ever felt really called to me. Russell and Colak are going with something that feels vastly different from what we had before in the way that the King Conan title felt like it was giving readers something different from the original ongoing work. I'm loving the way Sonja is dealing with the threat to her people, enjoying the heck out of watching Dragan deal with the demands of an empire and his position, and the growing cast of characters that are just a delight from start to finish. Red Sonja has had a lot of great artists in its ranks over the years and Mirko Colak should be standing tall among them with what he's doing here. More and more, please! Read Full Review
A slower pace forward helps to expand "Red Sonja" into its fourth issue. Read Full Review
Red Sonja #4 is another triumph, though it does feel familiar like one we've already seen before. Read Full Review
All good action stories need a dose of humor, and Red Sonja #4 provides it in spades. Fun, brash and violent, it sets the story arc perfectly for the final denouement in the next issue! Read Full Review
RED SONJA #4 is less consistent than previous issues in its storytelling and artwork. However, there is some solid character development, with a great eye for color. It's a more-than-serviceable chapter in a great ongoing story. Read Full Review
There's a good mix of action, humor, and drama in the latest issue and some foreshadowing of a new tactic for Dragan whose man returns with a piece of valuable information for his warlord. Worth a look. Read Full Review
If this series doesn't improve next issue, I'll be walking away. I want Sonja involved in action, which this has series sorely lacks, the end to flashbacks which are almost as annoying as those on Arrow, and one single artist illustrating this book to make it look unified. I love Red Sonja and this book is becoming painful to read. I had such high hopes for this relaunch. Read Full Review
Loved this issue ... the 'modern day' stuff was a great mixture of action and plot advancement, and the Khitai flashback was even better!
