Folks, it’s been a long time since we’ve been...
Folks, it’s been a long time since we’ve been this stoked for a RED SONJA comic, but let me tell you: this book is worth every single bit of the hype.
Third Eye favorite writer GAIL SIMONE (BATGIRL, WONDER WOMAN, SECRET SIX), delivers a fresh, and action-packed take on the She-Devil with a Sword.
Sonja pays back a blood debt owed to the one man who has gained her respect, even if ti means leading a doomed army to their certain deaths.
Featuring 7 covers from some of the most talented women working in comics today, including the above pictured Fiona Staples cover (the artist of SAGA), RED SONJA #1 is a powerhouse of a book and we cannot wait to see more.
Wanna get into it? No knowledge of the prior Sonja lore is necessary, you can hop on fresh with this week’s RED SONJA #1.

What Do You Think...
Virtue and Rainmaker.
Could they?
Would they?
Should they?
:)
I don’t know, Will Rainmaker get clothes that make sense? Having your pants laced to your top is probably the best chastity belt I’ve ever seen.
Fair point.
i can't wait to finally meet you in a few days! I'll be at SDCC! :D I love you so much!!!
Yahoo!
Looking forward to it!

Pre-Flashpoint, Pre-Brightest Day, during that epic fight between Barbara and Spysmasher, Shi... Lady Shiva is in the crowd of people who showed up to fight on Barbara's behalf if needs be. I don't remember them having that kind of previous relationship t
Exactly.
No, seriously, if you read the Birds’ discussion about it later, they each think one of the others invited her. No one knows who invited her or how she knew about it or why she showed up at all.
Sorry, guys. You may be the Birds of Prey.
But this is SHIVA.

Batgirl #22
I bet Jim Shooter would be pissed that the bat in the Batgirl logo isn’t filled in!
Hey KPTV Fox News in Portland? You see this cover? That’s how you spell sacrifice, you illiterate monkeys! I suppose all the news anchors aren’t completely illiterate since they can read just well enough to only stumble when reading every other sentence. But whoever does their copy or their graphics hasn’t been able to spell for years. I hate local news but I’ll watch Fox 12 in Portland when there is nothing else on because
The Joker delivers the weather. Also because I love how often they spell things wrong. When the nineteen firefighters died recently, they put up a graphic that said, “The Ultimate Sacrafice." Besides not being able to spell, they also report on internet videos, local fear, and gossip pieces from other states. Their favorite thing to report on is any national news event in which they can tie back to the Northwest. They usually want a Portland tie but they’ll slum it and accept a Seattle tie if they have to. They refuse to believe that their main reason for being is to be the local Fox Affiliate. They will gladly interrupt Fox Television Shows to vamp away until some local bureaucrat delivers a speech at a press conference or waiting for local election results. They’re stupid jerks that don’t realize I can find local election results on the internet or scrolling across the bottom of other Network stations but I can’t switch over to PBS to finish watching House which they just preempted! I know House ended a few years ago but I’m still bitter about that time! Fuck you, Wayne Garcia!
Sheesh. What did Jim Shooter and Wayne Garcia ever do to deserve my hatred while I’m trying to read Batgirl? Actually, I know what Wayne Garcia did, staring at me every night with that smug, chirpy-dirpy, tanning-bed-tanned, chipmunk face of his! Ewww! You haven’t received your last angry email from me, sir! I still don’t know how that episode of House ended, you fucking lousy puppet!
Oh, there it is! The segue to get me out of this rant! Speaking of puppets, I wonder where Ferdie is placed after Shauna is put into Arkham? Does he just go into an Arkham storeroom? Or does Gotham have enough psychotic puppets for a Mini-Arkham Asylum for Overly Sexualized Puppets?
If you’re not reading this poster’s reviews, you are missing out. They are always mean and hilarious.
