Red Sonja #13

Sonja is on the run...again. And though there isnt a whole lot that distinguishes her latest troubles from a lot of other issues that shes had to deal with over the years, Grnbekks writing advances her heroism in interesting directions while respecting the legacy of a character who has had a great deal of success on the comics page in recent years. Grnbekk and company have been able to maintain a decent momentum that should continue to develop quite well as things progress. She even seems to be working with villains who might develop into a captivating new menace as things progress.  Read Full Review

RED SONJA (VOL. 7) #13 puts the brakes on the urgency and the momentum from the last issue to show Red Sonja wandering from town to town to avoid capture. Torunn Grnbekk's setup makes sense, but the journey goes nowhere, rendering the issue almost pointless. Read Full Review

Plot Red Sonja is being hunted by Erlik who possesses different people and is constantly talking in her head, predicting the death of those who get close to her. Red Sonja tries to endure the torture but Erlik wants her soul back, while Kulan Gath is fighting against Ymir. This chapter doesn't advance the plot much, it just shows how Sonja is tormented. Art It has textures that give the details a retro/vintage touch that highlights the interesting dynamism and a warm color palette towards red and yellow that gives it a dynamic tone. The fight sequences are impressive with splash pages that balance the sensuality of Red Sonja with the lethal speed of her sword.

I was confused by the beginning of this issue since we left the last issue with the frost giant joining the team against Gath. Then we see Sonja roaming alone and going to a bar. It was a bit jarring. I'm not sure she would leave a battle to be alone even if she is dealing with visions, etc. I like the visions and I like the frost giant lusting after the wood goddess. Hopefully, we can get back on track in the next issue. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/L6Zvufp7QJM
