From the days of Conan the Barbarian, from the "misty past" of Hyrkania comes a redheaded woman who has foresworn herself to a life of a virgin unless and until she meets a man who can defeat her in combat ... not sure why she feels the need to go to such extreme but at least in this new volume of Sonja the Red right in the first few pages someone questions her skimpy clothing and writers Carey and Oeming provide us with an answer which is a refreshing change of story telling
In this particular relaunch of the tales of the She Devil with a Sword, we see Dynamite shamelessly capitalizing on the bad girl gimmick where we have so many covers each issue from the norm to the rare incentive covers but whatever sells, right?In this first issue, aside from the opening scene, we basically she Sonja aimlessly wandering through the lands looking for adventure and the opportunity to make her coin for meals and lodgings wherever she may find them
And it is in this wandering that she encounters a stranger ... who after her rescuing him offers to guide her to his home city ... where all is what it seems except that something is amiss ...And what that is ... is just some fun story telling to come ... the cliff hanger is equally good and ensures we come back for the next issue ... in short, this is classic comic storytelling at its core!
