Red Sonja #3

This 2015 Dynamite issue offers a quietly striking cover — Red Sonja sits weary but resolute beside a small fire, wrapped in a white hooded cloak, her great sword propped at her side as a wintry forest stretches behind her. The mood is contemplative rather than combative, a rare glimpse of the She-Devil at rest, and the warm firelight playing against cool blues makes for a genuinely beautiful piece of art. Cover work from Jenny Frison and Walter Geovani, with colors by Vinicius Andrade, gives the issue an almost painterly elegance that sets it apart on any shelf.
