☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection launches Dynamite Entertainment's Red Sonja Omnibus series, gathering the early issues of the 2005 ongoing series. It follows the iconic She-Devil with a Sword as she battles dark sorcery and deadly foes, including the ancient wizard Kulan-Gath, while forging uneasy alliances with characters like the warrior Osin and the mysterious Suumaro. The volume establishes Red Sonja's gritty, sword-and-sorcery world and her relentless quest for vengeance and justice.
"The Message" kicks off the Red Sonja Omnibus #1 with a brutal, atmospheric clash in the city of Gathia, where the warrior woman is hunted for delivering unwelcome news. Written by Michael Avon Oeming and Mike Carey, and brought to life by Mel Rubi’s dynamic art and vivid colors from Caesar Rodriguez and Richard Isanove, the story plunges Sonja into a deadly trial against a fearsome ogre—only to reveal a deeper, more sinister fate orchestrated by the high priest Fa. Cover by Michael Turner captures the grim intensity of the moment, setting the tone for a tale where prophecy and sacrifice collide.

Red Sonja is attacked by soldiers in the city of Gathia for bringing them bad news. Sonja does well in the fight until she is dropped into a pit where she faces an ogre who has never been beaten. After she beats the creature, the high priest of Gathia feels she is a woman straight out of prophecy as well as a fitting sacrifice for their ruler, The Celestial One. As he is purifying and preparing her for sacrifice, however, Fa begins to make secret plans of his own. Under the watchful gaze of the Celestial One, Fa sacrifices Sonja by stabbing her in the heart with a dagger.
