Dynamite Entertainment is launching Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil and has tapped Luke Lieberman and Sergio Davila to bring the tale to life.
Sonja finds herself against the demon conqueror Raka, whose alchemy turns men into thralls. Luckily her mentor Ozzyus is still kicking at this point. He was last seen toward the beginning of Dynamite’s contributions to the Red Sonja mythos in the previous series by Lieberman and Peter David, Red Sonja vs. Thulsa Doom.
Discussing where Red Sonja is at the start of this story, writer Luke Lieberman said, “This story is about her figuring out what kind of woman she wants to be, what she wants to do with her gift of violence. Sonja is a total badass, but what makes her so compelling and iconic is her humanity. She sees the world for what it is and she is who she is unapologetically. She has already taken the worst Hyboria can dish out, so there is nothing left to fear. Despite this hardness, or perhaps because of it, she recognizes innocence as rare and precious and she will protect it.”
Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil #1 arrives in June 2019.
