    Red Sonja #1 is a fantastic debut to the new Red Sonja series, bringing her character back to basics. The combat is bloody and fierce, theres a great subplot with the ascent of an interesting new nemesis for Red Sonja, and some scenes have a welcome injection of humor. If youre not familiar with Red Sonja, pick up the book. If youre a fan of Red Sonja, this book is highly recommended. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jul 22, 2023

    Sonjas recent exploits have been hit-or-miss. Shes such an interesting character, but its all too easy to simply fling her at a conflict and allow her to swing her way through it. Or maybe theres a premise for a series that seems to force her into being a supporting character in her own book. Thankfully, this new series looks like its going to be very well-balanced. Grnbekk is one of the best contemporary writers working in the sword-and-sorcery genre for the comic book industry. Her work with Thor and Jane Foster for Marvel had been particularly impressive. Her Red Sonja for Dynamite joins a Carnage that shes going to be doing for Marvel, which should be really interesting too.  Read Full Review

    RED SONJA (VOL. 7) #1 is a practically dead-solid perfect start to a new Red Sonja adventure against corrupt leaders and dark forces grown strong on innocent blood. The tone, style, and vibe feel like a proper Robert E. Howard adventure, and the art is an excellent match. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Jul 18, 2023

    Red Sonja #1 is a good start, establishing the threat of a religious zealot and the cunning of Red Sonja that'll likely come head to head as the series unfolds. The fantastical elements aren't played up; instead, there's a more traditional sword-fighting feel to it all. Read Full Review
