As we head toward the 50th anniversary of the She-Devil With a Sword in 2023, Dynamite Entertainment is proud to present a sweeping story of sword and
sorcery and high adventure by writer Jim Zub (Conan the Barbarian, Dungeons & Dragons, Avengers) and artist Giovanni Valletta (John Wick, James Bond)!
In this debut issue, Red Sonja carries a hazy vision that lurks just out of reach in her memories. The answer to that mysterious moment will unlock a journey of forbidden magic and searing steel as Sonja's past and present collide in a quest beyond anything our scarlet-haired hero has faced before!
With a few series recently dealing with Sonja handling kids as companions, I'm a bit wary of going to that well once again. I also admittedly prefer the Sonja stories that don't involve magic, though we haven't really had much of those as of late unless it's been the Sonjaversal property or some crossover. So I'm curious to see where Zub goes as he does capture her right in the way she bumbles around town and enjoys her downtime from fighting. The artwork is solid with some neat hooks to it and I'm curious as to who the kid is even if I'm just looking at it askew after the last ew projects. Read Full Review
UNBREAKABLE RED SONJA #1 is a solid start to a Red Sonja adventure with a unique, science-fiction twist to keep things interesting. The plotting, pacing, dialog, and narration are all on-point, but the art is delivered with varying degrees of detail. Read Full Review
While a little disorienting at parts, Jim Zub's script brings just enough of a clever bite to differentiate the book from its predecessors, and Giovanni Valletta's art embodies the bizarre, genre-bending story perfectly. Read Full Review
One issue in, it's a bit unclear if this is a younger version of Sonja or simply a talent red-headed thief having taken the name. Read Full Review
