Dynamite Entertainment has announced that Jim Zub (Conan/Red Sonja, Red Sonja and Cub) is set to make his return to the Hyborian Age this October for the publisher’s new flagship Red Sonja title Unbreakable Red Sonja, leading into the character’s 50th anniversary in 2023.
“I grew up on a steady supply of sword & sorcery novels, comics, and games in my youth and they indelibly imprinted on my mind in ways that inform all my work,” said writer Jim Zub, who will be joined on Unbreakable Red Sonja with artist Giovanni Valletta (John Wick, James Bond). “I’m absolutely pumped to bring that to Red Sonja. This time I have more room to explore what drives her and the depths she’ll go to overcome threats wildly stacked against her.”
“Red Sonja is one of our flagship characters, and we’re always looking for the perfect creators and stories to maintain the high standard we set for her and take her to the next level, on behalf of the fans,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “This go around, it didn’t take much deep searching [Laughs]. Jim Zub is one of the foremost masters of fantasy in comics and beyond, and we hope fans will be overjoyed to see him sticking around a little longer in the Hyborian Age!”
Red Sonja carries a hazy memory lurking just out of reach. As she seeks to solve the mystery of this strange vision, it will unlock a journey of forbidden magic and searing steel. Moments from Sonja’s past, present, and even the future collide in a quest unlike any other our scarlet-haired hero has faced before! It’s a Sonja story different from any fans have seen before, but at its core is classic sword and sorcery fare.
Unbreakable Red Sonja #1 will go on sale in October.
