Red Sonja #20

Issues 20 and 21 do a fine job of tying up the "Lord Skath" storyline and opening the way for Sonja's next great adventure. As always, Red Sonja delivers the goods. Dr. J gives both issues an". Read Full Review

A very entertaining issue as a fallen leader seeks redemption with the help of a She-Devil with a sword. The story has plenty of action, drama, and humor for fans of Robert E. Howard's character and the visuals showing the Hyrakian to be in strong form. Books like this demonstrate why Sonja reigns supreme of all heroines. Read Full Review

"Red Sonja" #20 is a fun comic that doesn't disappoint but doesn't offer anything new. It is what you expect and that's ok. Read Full Review

Red Sonja #20 isnt a bad read. There is humor and action, and Sonjas personality is still awesome. The artwork is decent, if flawed. The plot isnt all that engaging, but it isnt bad either. I can recommend this to the fans of swords-and-sandals and/or Sonja herself. Feel free to check it out. Read Full Review

This issue was a bit of a disappointment. Technically, it was fine ... the art was good, there was plenty of action and the plot moved forward. However, the creative team teased us with some intriguing ideas in the last issue and these were suddenly yanked away this issue. I loved the idea of Sonja entertaining the festival guests with stories of her exploits and putting on an exhibition of her skills but that was seemingly just a short-term plan to keep Lord Sandak on side. Other than a couple of surprises, the story for this issue was a bit predictable and linear, and too much time was spent recapping the story of Lord Skath, who may not be used again after this storyline. This storyline was so promising up to now but sadly #20 was a step down. Lord Sandak, though, was a delight ... his blatant money-grabbing deeds and withering putdowns make him so much more fun than Kulan Gath or Eson Duul over in the Tarzan crossover. He's not a necromancer who wants to conquer the universe or Kraven the Hunter's sadistic little brother ... he's the kind of evil guy you can meet any day of the week in our own time and world. more
