In this issue: As Hyboria is torn apart by mystical forces, Sonja finally faces the enemy that haunts her nightmares - Kulan Gath. But the battle is not what it seems, and it will take more than a sword to end the torment consuming the realm!
Immortalized for the ages by TORUNN GR NBEKK and WALTER GEOVANI, Red Sonja #10 is accompanied by illuminating covers from GEOVANI, LUCIO PARRILLO, BJORN BARENDS, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and cosplay by AMY GREGORY!
RED SONJA (VOL. 7) #10 delivers big action and significant developments, but suffers from a lack of focus in its storytelling. While the art quality is commendable, the disjointed narrative detracts from the overall reading experience. Read Full Review
