Jonathan Lau delivers some beautiful art in this first issue. Every character looks amazing and I enjoy the redesign on Sonja. The action looks great and there are some great dramatic panels that showcase the power of the players involved. Read Full Review
While I'm thrilling to several other Red Sonja books at the moment, the Age of Chaos one is going to have to work hard to join those ranks. Sonja is a draw herself and I like what little we get of her here. But the Chaos crew just have a real lack of appeal for me so it's going to take some strong writing and story points for me to feel really engaged with it. The artwork is solid throughout as Lau is a talented artist working with some characters that have eye-catching visual designs. And Sonja's always so expressive to work with that it can be fun just from the art standpoint. I'm curious to see what they'll do with all of this but I'm mostly just wary at the moment.

RED SONJA: AGE OF CHAOS #1 is an engaging opening chapter to this crossover event. The book presents an interesting concept, propelled by capable storytelling and artwork. It's worth picking up. Read Full Review
This was a fantastic, quick comic. Plenty of action with great artwork from Jonathan Lau. The characters aren't particularly deep here but that's fine since it's just a fun little crossover and the story is simple but it does the job and sets up future issues without bogging the reader down with exposition. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next issue. Read Full Review
This is an odd book in a way, as I am not certain who will enjoy it. There isn't enough Sonja in it for Sonja fans and the explanations are unnecessary for Chaos fans. Burnham, Lau and company may need to hope for a little charity from both fan bases in order to deliver on the promise of this very solid first issue. Read Full Review
While I know that there's enough here to keep me around for the entire series, Red Sonja: Age of Chaos #1 works well enough in introducing readers to a host of characters they might not know that much about. For fans. Read Full Review
A largely pointless and easily skipped mess, that will only appeal to those sad souls who think the 1990s were the height of the American Comic Book industry. Read Full Review
