This issue: The voice behind the curtain stands revealed as Sonja continues to battle against the massive forces against her! You won't want to miss this issue and the revelation that was foreshadowed back in issue #0!
Written by TORUNN GR NBEKK and illustrated by WALTER GEOVANI, this acclaimed series continues its all-star showcase of cover artists here with amazing imagery from LUCIO PARRILLO, BRYAN HITCH, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and BJORN BARENDS!
While Red Sonja rescues the powerless and bestows mercy on monsters, a fallen foe influences events from beyond the grave, raining destruction upon the Hyborian world in Red Sonja #5. Read Full Review
This issue is a doozy, but a rewarding one. Read Full Review
This action-packed, dialogue-heavy chapter propels the story forward with expanded lore-building and an ending you won't see coming. Read Full Review
RED SONJA (VOL. 7) #5 cranks out the action and intrigue when Red Sonja fights her way through the countryside to reach Thord Vards stronghold. The action is entertaining, and the art is excellent, but the payoff of Red Sonjas hidden companion is a letdown. Read Full Review
This comic maintains that addictive narrative dynamic, where Red Sonja faces her greatest enemy without knowing it in the middle of a war between peoples led by a psychotic sorcerer.
The art has textures that give the details a retro/vintage touch that highlights the interesting dynamism and a warm color palette towards red and yellow that gives it a dynamic tone. The fight sequences are impressive with splash pages that balance the sensuality of Red Sonja with the lethal speed of her sword.
I continue to enjoy this series. We get an unneeded scene in the beginning with Kulan Gath. I thought that by the end of the last issue, she knew who it was, but maybe that was just for the reader. I like the coat half-open considering she's in the snow. We do get a monster in this one, a hydra of sorts. Thought I didn't understand the whole heart situation. I do like that she cut his arm off without hesitation. The covers continue to be great.
