Plot
Red Sonja and Grace manage to reach the house of Grace's Aunt, a powerful sorceress, but not before facing some infernal beings created from the works, but Grace's Aunt has something to tell them both, that there is a terrible evil that He came back from the dead, Sonja knows him...his name is Kulan Gath.
In the kingdom of NORDAL, there is a commotion because its sorcerer Dorian Runebinder senses the presence of Gath, but it is too late, Kulan Gath is more cruel than ever, totally uninterested in human life, he is a monster that is feeding on other sorcerers.
Gath's presence is shocking the magical world, so much so that he awakened the fearsome Ymir, a giant who will unleash his wrath as a hunter.

I liked the Runebinder character, unfortunately he was set up simply to die. All of the monsters that they encounter on their way to the cabin were cool-looking and like that Kulan Gath has a plan. I'm not sure if that was a god or a frost giant at the end, but I'm looking forward to the next issue.

I think Gronbekk is much better at plotting than she is at dialogue and the art is hit or miss.
