A special red Sonja one-shot featuring the writing team of Jimmy (Batman Punisher Conan) Palmiotti and Justin (Batman Punisher Conan) Gray along with artist Liam (Hulk Death Dealer) Sharp! In One More Day Red Sonja leads a rag-tag army against their oppressors and finds honor courage and death on the battlefield! The armies of Graven Sul campaigning across the known lands are feared throughout the world for their brutality. To them all that matters is conquest for their lord to burn every kingdom from the face of the earth and leave no survivors. As a battle rages and all hope is seemingly lost one brave warrior a she-devil with flaming red hair rises to the call of King Varick to aid his men and save his throne. All that stands between the kingdom of Varick and Graven Sul is Red Sonja.
Pretty good fun, if a little thin. At 36 pages a nice little primer for Sonja as a concept, I suppose.
The first Sonja I've read since the 70s Roy Thomas one, and she's a little more STONE COLD in the Conan manner than the "oh no... womanly pleasures are beyond me...." heroine of Thomas. Let's see if this is indicative of the Oeming/Carey run.
Red Sonja defeats yet another evil army. Well, I don't have anything against that, that's one of the reason we love her, but the story is a little generic, nothing really stands out. While I did like the dark tones of the drawings, I also found some inconsistencies in the art, it could have been better. In the end another forgettable issue for fans to add to their collection.
A generic, mediocre story. Nothing special. Red Sonja is called to aid an army in a desperate situation and of course she succeeds. Not the best of Liam Sharpe’s art.
