Dynamite Announces New Red Sonja Series:
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!
In the new series, Red Sonja will meet the Brotherhood of the Rising Sun, and protect the last descendant of an ancient bloodline from getting sacrificed in a blood ritual.
Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword #1 hits stores later this year, with, you guessed it, so many blind bags.
Murder Drones Gets An Origin Special From Oni:
This May, we’re [Coldplay voice] going back to the start with Oni Press‘ Murder Drones: Home Special #1. The one-shot adapts the fifth, shocking origin episode of Glitch Productions’ Murder Drones, from writer Wyatt Kennedy and artist Soo Lee.
While the six issue Murder Drones series will continue later in the month, the one-shot will zoom back in time before the fall of the surface of Copper 9 to discover the secrets of N’s human family, the Elliots. Will they give Uzi and her friends the knowledge to stop the Absolute Solver Virus? Or will they cause an even bigger threat?
Murder Drones: Home Special one-shot comes out on May 13.
The Horror Of Godzilla Announced By IDW:
Godzilla is one of the most famous slashers of all time… Oh, sorry, monsters. And now that horror will take center stage in IDW’s new series The Horror of Godzilla. Taking place at the dawn of the Kai-Sei era, the book will reveal Godzilla’s first attack on humanity, from writers Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan, with art by Tristan Jones.
Set in 1954 Japan, the book will show how Godzilla attacked, what happened next, and why the Kai-Sei energy that led to the current line of books was released. IDW likens the book more to Godzilla Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla ‘54, calling it “the scariest” Godzilla book ever made.
The Horror of Godzilla #1 hits stores this July from IDW.
