Dynamite Entertainment has announced that it will continue its 50th anniversary celebrations for Red Sonja with the launch this November of Savage Red Sonja, a new series from writer Dan Panosian which promises to “hearken back to the original Robert E. Howard threads of sword and sorcery” whilst delivering “a new vision” of the iconic She-Devil With a Sword.
“I wanted to write a story that combines heroic fantasy and elements of mystery – but I also wanted to examine the mindset of Red Sonja,” states writer Dan Panosian. “She’s not only a savage warrior but she’s also very cunning and calculated. So, creating a story that centers around a mystery seemed like the perfect way to capture both sides of everyone’s favorite She Devil with a Sword!”
“We all have doubts about the paths in life we’ve chosen. This story explores the course Red Sonja’s life has taken and how it has affected her,” Panosian continues. “Does she have any misgivings? Doubts? Fears? Regrets? Couple that with a very mysterious adventure and you have Savage Red Sonja!”
The fast-paced tale of mystery, suspense, and the supernatural finds Red Sonja tracking down a fabled gem from a crumbled, ancient kingdom. Along her adventure alone through a dangerous wasteland, she comes across a wayward prince and his fellow redheaded bride. The trio are afforded just a brief opportunity to get to know each other before they’re ambushed by a monstrous beast from below their very feet! And that’s just the beginning!
Savage Red Sonja #1 will go on sale in November.
