Red Sonja #21
In "Animals Part Three," Red Sonja faces a trial by dream and destiny as she journeys with her companions to the Leijona arena, where the lion folk prepare to condemn her allies. Drawn into a world where panthers wield the power of dreams and stories hold life or death, Sonja must navigate a shifting alliance with the Leijona and the enigmatic Caska, who joins her on a perilous voyage home. But as she nears familiar waters, a ghost ship emerges from the mist—its arrival as sudden and ominous as the fate that awaits. Written by Michael Avon Oeming and illustrated by Homs, with colors by Vinicius Andrade and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, the cover by Mel Rubi captures the eerie, otherworldly tension of the tale.
