[C.T. Phipps · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty decent collection of Red Sonja tales that have her facing down werewolves, a brothel worker being inspired by her legend, and other fantastic stories. Well, some of them are fantastic. Others are not so fantastic and entertaining. It's an overall decent collection but nothing exceptional in the grand scheme of thing.

Very odd little collection. Mixed bag of stories when it comes to quality. Either the story works and the art is bad, or the art is great and the story isn't so hot. The redeeming quality is the final story, which is really quite good, and made the rest of the journey worth it.

Despite some uneven artwork, this collection of one-shots is surprisingly strong. Sonja herself is well defined and each story is quite different, so it’s a good package.

The final issue, Vacant Shell, is one of the best Red Sonja one-shots around.

Compared to Travels Volume 2, which has many more issues with lower quality, this book proves that less is more!

"Viajes", una recopilación de historias de Red Sonja de la rama "Colección 100% Cult Comics" de Panini fue una agradable lectura.

La mayoría de las cinco historias que forman parte del compendio en tapa blanda son buenas historias, pero tienen un denominador común: los dibujos no destacan.

Los únicos dibujos que vale la pena destacar de esta colección son aquellos de Paul Renaud por la historia "Carcasas Vacías" y Noah Salonga por "La mano del destino". También me gustaría destacar el guion de "Otro día más" de Justin Gray y Jimmy Palmiotti, el cual encapsula todo lo que hace de Red Sonja una guerrera temeraria y mejor estratega.

Si no has leído demasiados cómics de Red Sonja, es una colección recomendable para comenzar a dar tus primeros pasos en este mundo tan rico como variado que la hirkania habita.
Para fanáticos acérrimos de la Diablesa de la espada, creo que hay otras colecciones que le hacen más justicia.

Pretty damn mixed up collection of Red Sonja one shots. From pretty decent ones to pretty damn god-awful manga influenced shit.

Compilation of 4 Red Sonja one-shots. I thought all 4 stories were great, especially for me as a Conan fan. Some a little better than others and art uneven at times.
