Red Sonja, Vacant Shell

In 2007, Dynamite Entertainment released a single-issue story that stands apart in the Red Sonja mythos. Written by Rick Remender with art by Paul Renaud, Vacant Shell is a tightly focused, introspective tale that strips the She-Devil with a Sword down to her emotional core, exploring the cost of her violent life. It remains a notable, standalone character study from the publisher's long-running series.
