Red Sonja #100

Red Sonja's centennial issue arrives as a 48-page special, and the cover by Ed Benes captures the She-Devil with a Sword in full commanding presence — her flowing crimson hair catching a fiery sunset sky as she rests a gauntleted hand on the hilt of a planted broadsword, battle-worn and utterly unintimidated. An impressive roster of contributors including Roy Thomas, Gail Simone, Michael Avon Oeming, and Eric Trautmann, among others, signals that this 2015 milestone packs considerable storytelling ambition into its pages. At $7.99, it's a fittingly substantial celebration of one of sword-and-sorcery's most enduring heroines.
