I love Red Sonja, for so many reasons. Her strength, her not giving two sh*** about what other people think , her arrogance. Normally arrogance isn't a complement but to have an overtly arrogant woman in a comic is just, refreshing?

All that being said the dialogue is clumsy and cheesy as hell sometimes. As usually she wears nothing, although I found the art to be decent enough.

If you played Dungeons and Dragons, or you like Fantasy novel dialog, you will enjoy this like I did. This is by-the-numbers fantasy story with a betrayal/revenge theme. Not great literature, but a fun read.

Clunky dialog, but good art. I was hoping for a more interesting and involving story.

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good. As with almost all graphic novels, of course, it was a very very quick read. I probably finished it in 10-12 minutes, which hardly seems worth the cost.

This one was ok. The writing wasn't all that great, but it was entertaining and quick read.

Good mini series. Nice art and story. Recommended

The story was ok, although in it were some really clumsy plot twists.
But the art was horrible. Rarely I have seen such crappily drawn arms. Limbs really do not twist like that. That was just bad.
