Red Sonja #1 (2014, Dynamite Entertainment) kicks off with a gripping tale of betrayal and vengeance, as the legendary warrior confronts the true source behind a devastating plague.

In "null," Red Sonja, once a slave in the pits, is rescued by King Dimath and now serves as his protector.

In "null," Red Sonja faces off against the sorceress Dark Annisia and her demonic forces in a desperate stand to save her city. After surrendering to spare her people, Sonja is banished to wander, doomed to die from a creeping plague.
In the frozen wastes, a dying Sonja drifts between memory and death, haunted by the night her family and village were destroyed by Ryshak. As her former bodyguards Ayla and Nias search the snow for any sign of life, the past unfolds in flashes—of fire, blood, and a vengeance that carved her name into the world.

In "null," Red Sonja faces her fiercest trial yet when she challenges Annisia to a final duel in the brutal Arena of Tiath. With Nias and Ayla at her side, Sonja seeks a cure for a spreading plague, but the journey leads her straight into a reckoning she can't escape.
In "null," Red Sonja confronts the twisted aftermath of a city ravaged by a false plague, where betrayal and poison run deeper than blood. As alliances shift and old wounds resurface, Jo must unravel the truth behind the deception before vengeance consumes them all.
