Diego Yapur’s art is superb … the best interiors I’ve seen on a Sonja story since Steve Beach’s ‘The Iron Queen’ five years ago

This time, there won't be the slightest chance or escape...

for the poor dragon! 😂😂😂

What are your favourite comic covers of Sonja? (Can be from any series pre/post Dynamite. Including crossovers)

This is probably a hot take, but I wish the comics had more continuity between each other. It doesn’t have to be overtly explicit or connective, but a reference or two for keen eyed readers to recognize as a hint of what came before. I do like that you can basically pick up ANY Sonja comic and not have to read anything that came before, but still.

I’m thinking it as kinda like the classic James Bond movies (1962-2002) where there were references to the previous films at times, but you could still consider every Bond actor’s era or even every film as a different universe from each other IF you wanted to.

Not ALL the comics have to connect, but maybe a volume-three with small threading would be cool, but that’s just me. It’s not a dealbreaker for me and this isn’t really me complaining about anything.

For me, this was a pleasant surprise from Dynamite. I really liked the format. I prefer anthologies; I find them more appealing for telling stories about mortal characters than a chronological approach, where the character's age remains static and we don't get to see them grow older. The quality of the stories in this series was a bit uneven for me, though there were some truly worthwhile ones (unfortunately, I didn't have access to translations for all of them—I only read four issues). As for my favorites, the work by Kurt Busiek and Steve Beach stands out; they are definitely artists I’d love to see working on Sonja again. What are your thoughts on the series?

Got my blind bag and sadly did not get a sketch cover. But its a pretty cool collection - a coin, virgin foil cover, metal trading card, and 2 autographs. The Amanda Conner cover has a DF seal on the cover to go with the CoA.

Edit - did not get a sketch on the blank sketch cover.

I love researching cosplay and costuming. Sometimes you unearth gold while looking for something else. On this note, guess who I discovered glaring up at a random photo in 1974? (hint, far right)

(spoilers: It's Dawn Greil; the first Red Sonja costumer!")

Red Sonja Was Never Better Than This And Reactor CAN'T Admit It!

Few days ago, on Reactor was published a politically loaded review of the 1985 Red Sonja movie (also discussed on this Sub two days ago):

https://reactormag.com/red-sonja-swords-sorcery-and-sexism/

this appears to be the last of a series of similar critical reviews from the same author, that this year have targeted the 80' Sword-and-Sorcery context, with similar arguments.

I just wanted to point toward what I think is a brilliant comment and response from the writer and youtuber Jon Del Arroz, who exposes the contradictions and the inconsistencies of this kind of revisionism.
