A team-up set up by SWORDS OF SORROW's Gail Simone, featuring the writer that she hand-picked: Erica Schultz! Lady Zorro and The Black Sparrow, two women from different times, join forces to fight Prince Charming's Shards of Chaos in a prehistoric land. With their Swords of Sorrow, they fight to keep an ancient stone with mystical abilities out of the Prince's grasp.
A fun one-shot to Swords of Sorrow that spotlights two outstanding heroes. Read Full Review
All in all, this one-shot is a solid addition to what is turning into a really fine crossover event. Read Full Review
While I'm sure this could have expanded to a couple of issues and been a lot of fun, it definitely works well enough as a one shot as it condensed things well without feeling like it's super compressed. Schultz brings both women to life well enough and gives us a bit of a tease of the enemy through the prince and Shard with what they're up to and something of what his forces are like. But most of it is just enjoying the two women on stage here as they deal with events and run with it as best as they can, Lady Zorro having gotten an introduction to it earlier on and Black Sparrow rolling with it while being thrilled to be with the legend and idol that is Lady Zorro. It's all good fun and definitely one of those solid side stories that works well. Read Full Review
Swords of Sorrow: Black Sparrow/Lady Zorro is a special one-shot indeed. It brings together two formidable heroes without an ounce of cynicism or competitive rivalry between them. The two work fantastically as a team to fend off threats throughout the issue. If this doesn't make you want to pick up past issues of the respective heroes I don't know what will. Read Full Review
A good, fun action piece with very little in the way of story as it is meant to set up for the main Swords of Sorrow series. Enjoyable if you've been following the rest of the series. Read Full Review
