Red Sonja #5

A massive, city-dwarfing dragon dominates this cover, its fanged maw and sweeping wings looming over the urban skyline while a tiny but defiant Red Sonja stands her ground on a rooftop far below — the scale alone makes for a genuinely striking image. Writer Amy Chu and artist Carlos Gómez bring their run to this fifth issue, with cover art by Mike McKone capturing the sheer enormity of the threat Sonja faces in a modern-day setting. If you enjoy sword-and-sorcery heroism dropped into the contemporary world, this 2017 Dynamite entry is a compelling addition to the shelf.
