Luke Lieberman grew up in Weston Connecticut where the woods were a playground for his imagination. After graduating NYU film school, he moved to LA to apprentice Stan Lee, who mentored him in the art of storytelling. He left Stan's employ to relaunch the Red Sonja comic book franchise where he serves as licensor and executive editor to this day. Luke has personally written over 50 issues under the title, including this years Red Sonja: Birth of a She-Devil mini-series.
After graduating Loyola law school and joining Rosenfeld, Meyer & Susan to practice intellectual property law, Luke collaborated with his friend and mentor Stan, as well as Ryan Silbert and Kat Rosenfeld, to co-author Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light. This project has been a dream come true.
These days Luke does his best writing at the family cabin on Flathead Lake in Montana. Home is where the heart is. He is a brother of four, uncle of 11, father of two, and husband to one Shannon Lieberman, who is the joy of his life.
ATLANTIS RISES is about how Thulsa Doom raises Atlantis from the ocean depths and it proves to be populated by a bunch of jerks. I have to say this book didn't live up to its potential as I didn't understand why Red Sonja was necessary, why the people followed Thulsa Doom, why Thulsa Doom was worshiping Cthulhu instead of Set, and why they turned against their king among many-many other plot points. It also ended abruptly and in an unsatisfying manner. The art is still lovely but I felt it could have been done better.
I love Red Sonja books and this one had so much potential, I was extremely disappointed by the ending of the story, it felt flat and rushed and while it is an enjoying read to pass time a lot was left to be desired overall.
I feel like I was missing something. I think there are parts to the conflict between Red Sonja and Thulsa Doom that I am missing. I need to go back and find the earlier parts of this arc. Still fun, though.
