An all-new 20 page Hyrkanian Holiday story where Sonja reminisces about the time she and Sir Max rescued a drunk Santa from the Grinch (Kulan Gath of course!) and learns the true meaning of Christmas. This also features the cutting edge classic She Devil reprint story "Wizards of the Black Sun"!
I am a big fan of the current run that Sonja is enjoying. Moving from New York back to the her more natural elements hasn't dampened the fun and with the news breaking that we are due for a new writer on this book in the new year, all I can is that all I want for Christmas is Amy Chu, to stay on this book!

This is a fun book for the holiday's, but nothing really much beyond that. The first story is perhaps the most Christmas like. While the second is more of a morality tale. Read Full Review
The art of this book isn't my favorite but it also is not bad. Some of the faces can be a tad intense. Similarly, the shadowing on this book is a little too heavy-handed. Esposito's lettering is great and easy to understand despite the fact Sonja and Max at many points are not speaking in English. Overall, Red Sonja: Holiday Special is a fun and festive story that captures the magic of the character with just a dash of Christmas spirit. Also included in the Holiday Special is the classic Roy Thomas and Frank Thorne Red Sonja tale "Wizards of the Black Sun" in color. Read Full Review
For the beaver hunters, I will rate it up on the art, down I on the story, down on the not-holiday. Just not much value in this book other than the reprint. And beavers. Happy Life Day. Read Full Review
