This is how you take a beloved hero and boil their essence down into short, engaging stories back up with stunning minimal artwork. Each quirky story needs no previous knowledge or commitment and allows new readers to sink their teeth into a character many write off as the girly Conan. The first story alone is hilarious and makes you relax while setting the tone Read Full Review
I really enjoy Red Sonja as a whole and seeing different takes on the character is what keeps me interested. While I have my favorite creative talents that I want to see spend years crafting long-form stories with her, I'm also thrilled to get short tales with a range of people to tell stories about her. It's open and limitless and the start of this series showcases some great talent right out of the gate. Each story looks unique and interesting and the tales all work wonderfully in showing different aspects of Sonja. I can't wait to see what else is in the future here. Read Full Review
All three stories work well with the first being the most humorous, the last the most bloody (literally), and the middle a nice mix of the two. Fans of Red Sonja should enjoy themselves. Read Full Review

Overall, Red Sonja: Black, White, and Red # 1 is slightly more of a mixed bag than other anthologies in the same sphere"but it's still an enjoyable one. Read Full Review
RED SONJA: BLACK, WHITE, RED #1 is a mix of great to not-so-great stories featuring the crimson-haired She-Devil. For the cover price, this anthology is worth it only for die-hard Red Sonja fans. Read Full Review
Throughout each story, there are flashes of red, be it blood or Sonja's famous flame red hair. This gives the book its title and juxtaposition isn styles. I am still massively confused on the reason for the book and its apparent "homage" to the DC model, though it has to be said, it is a better read than the recent Wonder Woman Black & Gold book.

Russell/Bob Q - 9/10
Busiek/Dewey - 9/10
Deibert/Staggs - 6/10
Strong start to this new anthology series.
