Red Sonja / Tarzan #5

Walter Geovani's cover for this penultimate issue of Gail Simone's crossover series packs the frame with intensity — Red Sonja charges forward sword in hand, her fiery red hair flying, while a dark-haired female warrior advances just behind her, blade raised and bloodied. Looming large above them are three imposing figures: a blond bare-chested man, a mustachioed warrior in armor, and a long-haired, broad-shouldered brute who radiates menace. With the series heading into its final chapter, this issue promises the kind of high-stakes, sword-and-jungle adventure that makes the Red Sonja/Tarzan team-up such a satisfying pulp fiction mashup.
