THE CRIMSON WELL: Part 1 (of 6)-The She-Devil has been suspiciously absent for nearly a full season. There are many rumors and tall tales surrounding her disappearance, but the truth of the matter is far more outlandish, and terrifying, than any tavern story. Following the PROPHECY event, Red Sonja has placed herself in exile, desperately hoping to protect the world from the demonic influence that threatens to consume her very soul.
This is the opening chapter of a new story, so you should start here! If you don't like this, you're one of the undead"SPOILER! Read Full Review
Here begins a new arc with a new creative team. We begin with Sonja captive at the hands of a strange village where she is rescued by four brothers. They saved her just to turn her over to another, a man named Lord Zhaal. The issue had very little action and the story really didnt go anywhere until the end. That being said, it is the beginning of a new five part arc so this is just set up for something bigger. Jerwas story is good just kind of slow out the gate but I have faith it will go somewhere great. Davilas art is par with the last arc. He gave his touch to the sexy lead of the title and did her justice. The rich colors gel great with solid art and all the T&A you can handle. Im very interested to see where this story goes but its peaked my curiosity. Each arc is pretty self contained so you wont have to backtrack too far to understand whats going on if you want to pick it up now. Read Full Review
Red Sonja #76 is a fitting extension that sits within the confines of Prophecy but may be a bit confusing for those that are unfamiliar with it. Despite that the skills on display handily earn this release a recommendation. Read Full Review
Red Sonja #76 is not a strong issue by any stretch of the term. The “Crimson Well” story arc is not off to a good start, and most of the fault lies with the art. There is just enough draw with the story that any Red Sonja fan will probably keep reading, but those who started reading here will probably be disappointed. My advice to anyone interested in Red Sonja and looking for a good place to start reading: wait for the Gail Simone series. Read Full Review
