Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned #2

Red Sonja stands bloodied but fierce atop a massive fallen creature — fanged, monstrous, and very much defeated — in Joshua Middleton's visceral cover for this second chapter of Empire of the Damned. Her flame-red hair flies wild, sword raised, chain-mail gleaming against a pale, gore-streaked backdrop that makes the whole image feel like a fever dream from the Hyborian age. With Steve Niles writing and Alessandro Amoruso on art, this 2024 Dynamite series is shaping up to be one of the She-Devil's darker, more atmospheric outings.
