Move over, Vampirella: Red Sonja wants in on the crossovers, too. And for the first time ever, in advance of San Diego Comic-Con Dynamite has announced a new Red Sonja/Barbarella series.
Written by Homero Rios with art by Diego Yapur, the November debuting book will stick the She-Devil With a Sword in space, which has got to feel weird when you’re wearing a metal bikini.
“Writing Red Sonja and Barbarella together has been a thrill because they are both iconic, fearless, and larger than life,” said Rios via press release. “The goal from the start was to give readers a crossover that feels dangerous and worthy of both legends. One way or another, it’s going to be quite a ride.”
Here’s the synopsis, per PR:
The She-Devil With a Sword and the Siren of the Spaceways come from two different, impossible worlds. Yet one mystery is going to unexpectedly cross both their paths and draw them together by fate. Barbarella, in all her belovedly buxom energy, is sent after a mysterious black mirror tied to her past, an object that may hold the key to a life she barely remembers. Meanwhile far away, under a blood-red sky, Red Sonja rides valiantly into danger to rescue an Oracle whose violent fate seems already written in prophecy. Neither of these daring women knows of the other’s existence, and neither understands the forces pulling them together. Science fiction and swords and sorcery clash in this new adventure. Memory, destiny, desire, and survival all carry a heavy burden and price, and some debts are paid in blood!
Covers for the book will be by Yapur, as well as Joseph Michael Linsner, Collette Turner, and two covers by cosplayer IvyCosplay. Plus blind bags, of course. Now someone get Red Sonja a spacesuit before she freezes to death.
