Red Sonja #79

This 2013 Dynamite issue pulls you in immediately with Lucio Parrillo's striking close-up portrait of Red Sonja — green eyes intense and unflinching, auburn hair catching the dim light, a blade held at the ready just below her chin, and fresh scratches marking her shoulder that hint at a fight already underway. It's the fourth chapter of "The Crimson Well," with writer Brandon Jerwa and artist Sergio Fernández Dávila continuing what promises to be a tense penultimate stretch before the five-part arc concludes. If you've been following Sonja's latest trial, this is exactly the kind of cover that reminds you why she earned the title She-Devil with a Sword.
