‘Red Sonja’ Reboots Again With New ‘She-Devil With A Sword’

They say “don’t take a gun to a sword-fight.” No, wait, that’s not what they say. They say “don’t give a sword to Red Sonja.” And yet, that’s exactly what Dynamite keeps doing, again and again, and they’re gonna do it one more time with the brand-new Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword #1.

This time, the series is by writer Rory McConville with art by Pablo de Bonis, and you’re not going to believe this but it features Red Sonja fighting some dudes. With a sword!

“I’m thrilled to be journeying to Hyboria for the She Devil’s latest adventure,” said McConville via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “As the series begins, Sonja is just trying to enjoy a quiet tankard of ale or three when an old ally’s plea for aid pulls her into a revolutionary crisis on the brink of toppling the corrupt kingdom of Koth and unleashing dangers that could engulf all of Hyboria. I’m fortunate to be working with the incredibly talented Pablo de Bonis. When I first saw his pages, I knew readers were in for something special and I can’t wait for them to join us on this quest.”

Here’s the official synopsis to the series, which also features the first appearance of the Brotherhood of the Rising Sun:

The fiery-haired heroine of Hyrkania finds herself caught in the middle of a spring of revolution. A turbulent movement is determined to reshape all of Hyboria in their image, and have no interest in sparing anyone in their way. The She-Devil must protect the last descendant of an ancient bloodline from their scourge. The person under Sonja’s protection, Aretha, is needed for a blood ritual, and Sonja sets out to try to free her from this cursed fate. Questions will arise through this latest quest that will shake the She-Devil to her core!

Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword #1 hits stores later this year with covers by Stuart Sayger, Lucio Parrillo, Joseph Michael Linsner, Mike Rooth, and a cosplay photo from Woman of Wonder. Oh, and you know it’s gonna have blind bags. Don’t take a sword to a blind bag fight!
