Couldn't get into the dialogue/story/character. It just didn't seem to "fit" together... Oh well, I tried
One of my favorite aspects of Simone's Red Sonja is her likability. There is a crotchety layer over her good-heartedness, and a deep respect for human life under her powerful gift for ending it. Fun to spend some time with her.
Excellent jumping on point for a comic book character that has been around forever. Highly recommended if you like strong female leads, Game of Thrones politics and violence, and if you just like damn good writing. Fast paced, exciting, funny and solid art by Walter Geovanni.Read this.
It’s not as bad as I thought. I actually liked it.
Pretty entertaining - I am not quite captured yet, but I will try to read Legend of Sonja as well which is among others written by Tamora Pierce.
Red Sonja absolutely bought me. I only finished this single issue so far, but I love it!
A fun read and I love the art style. Can't wait to read on!
You can read the full review over at The Founding Fields:thefoundingfields.com/2013/07/red-son...Shadowhawk takes a look at the first issue of the rebooted Red Sonja as the TFF Friday Comics Reviews finally get a name-branding.“This is exactly the sort of first issue I was looking for and I can say with full confidence that Gail Simone is off to a rocking start!” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding FieldsRed Sonja #1 is an issue I’ve been looking forward to ever since Dynamite announced the news all the w...
This is the first issue in Gail Simone's run of Red Sonja. We get a glimpse into Sonja's past, and a new take on the character that is surprising. After reading this first issue I'm both intrigued, but still a wary. Simone's Sonja is a departure from the cold, stalwart warrior woman that we're used to seeing. This Sonja is a sarcastic and drunk. She was downright snarky at points. As a long time fan of the character, in all her many incarnations, I'm intrigued by this change and very interested...
So I knew Red Sonja like I knew Conan the Barbarian and Barbarella. (The last of which I hate but that's just a preference)but I never would've picked the new Red Sonja up if it wasn't for Gail Simone.This Red Sonja is perfect. A fierce warrior who takes no crap from anyone. She doesn't stand for any racism or discrimination, drinks hard, plays hard and enjoys possibly nothing more than a fight. Gail Simone is well known for writing women well and she isn't afraid of adding any usually unreprese...
This is my first experience with Sonja and holy crap I'm in love with her. What a fantastic issue, beautiful drawings, coloring...everything. Definitely going back in the universe to read more of Sonja, and looking forward to the next issue. I can't wait!!
It's was okay. Definitely a new spin on her character, but the other female characters felt kind of flat. The story was interesting though. So I'll give the next issue a try.
I got this as a freebie from ComiXology 12 days of free comics.Sonja is a bad ass female with a sexy frame and a sword who will quote "Kill you and Leave you fingerless if you touch her or her sword" This style comic was not my type of read, but definitely has a kickass cover.
I picked this up because it's written by Gail Simone, and I'm glad that I did. Definitely not my typical taste in comics, but Red Sonja #1 has so much: action/adventure, issues of honor and allegiance, sharp dialogue, and more.
I have to admit, I have held a grudge against Red Sonja for a while. Let me explain: my name is Sonja, and I have red curly hair (think Merida-style), and so all my life I have heard the neckbeard nerds go “Sonja! Like Red Sonja! You should wear a metal bikini! HARDEHARHAR I AM SO CLEVER.”So, I haven’t been the biggest fan of the character, but when I heard Gail Simone was going to be writing the relaunch for Dynamite Entertainment, suddenly I was interested. Hmmm. Maybe this wouldn’t end up bei...
I've wanted to read this even since I heard Simone was going to write a Red Sonja comic. Took me a year to get around to it. This first issue is both good and a little disappointing. I loved the front and centre female heroics and camaraderie of Birds Of Prey. Here though, Sonja does not have female peers, although she does have proteges who will hopefully evolve. The final page reveal of her chief opponent is promising too. The set-up is actually very good, with an encounter with rogues in a wo...
I don't have a lot of experience with Red Sonja as a character (I think I once read one other free comic she was in, and know she lives in the same world as Conan... and wears skimpy outfits), but this covered most all of what I needed to know (except for the reason she doesn't wear clothes). I'm not sure it really got me interested in reading more of the character, but it was a capably-told medieval-type warrior story that gave the character some depth beyond what I knew.
