Red Sonja: Death and the Devil #2

Joseph Michael Linsner's cover for this 2024 Dynamite series captures Red Sonja in a dynamic pose — sword raised, auburn hair cascading, her chain-mail bikini and leather boots rendered with striking detail — while the looming, skeletal figure of a cloaked and wide-brimmed-hatted devil lurks as a ghostly presence behind her. The contrast between Sonja's fierce vitality and that grinning specter sets a moody, tension-charged tone that writer Luke Lieberman and artist Alberto Locatelli carry into the second chapter of this dark adventure. If the first issue left you wanting more sword-and-sorcery with a sinister edge, this one makes a compelling case to keep reading.
