In this issue: To fight against the gods that her own actions have unleashed, Red Sonja must strike a deal with the devil. But with Hyboria in chaos and all-out war raging, will this last-ditch alliance be able to stem the tide of destruction sweeping over the realms? It doesn't look good - but then again, the graveyards are full of people who underestimated the She-Devil With a Sword!
Written in fire across the sky by TORUNN GR NBEKK and WALTER GEOVANI, Red Sonja #11 is heralded by proud banners of every hue from GEOVANI, LUCIO PARRILLO, BJORN BARENDS, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and cosplay by AMY GREGORY!
RED SONJA (VOL. 7) #1 mixes Red Sonja's classic adventure with snippets of Norse mythology for a unique adventure with rock-solid art. However, Grnbekk's pacing is devoid of energy, and the plot suffers from a lack of focus. Read Full Review
There are some moments of pulpy majesty, either from Gronbekk's wide-ranging script or from Walter Geovani's whimsical art. But the massive battle on the series' horizon is only growing needlessly complicated, as more elements and players continue to be teased in unsatisfying ways. Read Full Review
Plot
Grace is now some kind of angel who doesn't remember her life until Sonja reminds her, she tells her that she must do what Kulan Gath asked of her, the soul of a god. Grace will be key to the war between worlds and fantastic beings.
Ymir prepares to go on her human hunt, but Grace's sister manages to bring an army of Trolls with her.
Red Sonja, finally finding the sorcerer who opened the portal between worlds and sent her to the convent, asks him for help to right this mess, but he seems to enjoy it, he loves the sins and passions of mortals.
Kulan Gath once again offers an alliance to Red Sonja...
Torunn Grønbekk continues to mix action, mystery, fantasy and sorcery in perfect balance more
To be honest, there is nothing to complain about this Sonja's run, BUT, there is only ONE THING that this run will NEVER achieve...
surpass the quality that Titan has been valuing in Conan.
Other than that, Gronbekk wisely recovers the character's roots, from when she was written by Roy Thomas, through two more volumes, the third of which was completed by Louise Simonson's scripts.
I liked the villain's stance, he seems more macabre, reminiscent of the crossover at the time with Spidey, with the participation of Sonja. It's the best thing Dynamite has done with the character, at least as long as it maintains that quality.
