And what does he find in the South Bronx of the late ‘70s? Gangs! And what have those gangs found? The Necronomicon, of course! And that makes those gangs some bad-ass mxxxerfxxxers!

This was good, really good.
I have not read anything by Mirka Aldolfo before this, at least I can not remember reading, but I should read more by her. She clearly knows Sonja and she even manages to bring along a child to the adventure that is not endlessly annoying. That is a success.
Interesting story, good dialogue, nice art and fun. That is all a wee boy needs.

I've been aware of Red Sonja for a long time and even read some stories here and there. I really liked this one because I like the trope where a deadly badass fighter journeys with a young child and reveals a softer side of themselves not seen. It also helps the art is really good; there's a couple pages where the panel flow is wonky but otherwise it hold up well.
I recommend this to anyone looking for "Lone Wolf And Cub" -esque fantasy story.

Red Sonja finds a kid with fire powers who wants Sonja to be her mother. She's pursued by a bunch of different nefarious bad guys looking to make use of the child's powers. A solid beginning to this new Red Sonja run. The art's decent although overly chaotic in action sequences.
