Dynamite Entertainment has announced the upcoming release of the first collection of Mark Russell’s acclaimed Red Sonja series, titled Red Sonja: Scorched Earth, which collects issues #1-6 of the ongoing series along with the Red Sonja: Lord of Fools one-shot.
“What I wanted to do with the first six issues of this story is to show Sonja, not only as somebody who’s good with a sword, but a warrior of the mind as well,” said Russell. “Somebody who’s capable of leading people through the darkest danger they’ve ever faced. ”
“This first volume (of many!) is designed for the reader that’s familiar with Sonja The Red, or has never even heard of her,” said editor Nate Cosby. “Mark Russell’s reinterpretation of Sonja is a stunning tale that focuses on the reasons for war, of trying to go home again, of finding one’s place in a cruel existence. It’s a masterclass in world-building, that Mark and the entire creative team are putting on. Jump aboard now, it’s going to be an incredible journey!”
This tale of metal and blood chronicles the She-Devil of the Hyrkanian Steppes through becoming queen of her homeland, political and physical bouts with Dragan the Magnificent of Zamora, the introduction of her nephew Kryon, past and present tangles with supernatural forces and much more!
Red Sonja: Scorched Earth will go on sale in November 2019, priced $19.99.
