Red Sonja #4

Amy Chu and Carlos Gómez's 2017 run on Red Sonja delivers a striking fourth issue, with Mike McKone's cover presenting the She-Devil with a Sword in an unnervingly close, blood-spattered close-up — her wild red hair framing a steely gaze as a pair of ring-adorned hands reach toward her face. The tension is palpable: Sonja wears her chain-mail armor and shows no sign of backing down despite the grim evidence of a hard-fought battle written across her skin. It's a confident, arresting image that makes clear this series isn't pulling any punches.
