NYCC: New Red Sonja
Posted by Meg
At the beginning of the month, after Peat announced that The Daylight War was finished, we posted about his plans for writing another Red Sonja comic. At NYCC this year, Peat talked more about the Red Sonja 4-issue series.
Red Sonja: Unchained, which has already been turned into editors, picks up where the Red Sonja: Blue one-shot left off. Red Sonja will continue to wear her blue fur tunic in place of the classic chain mail bikini. The first part of the series will be out in early 2013 and will hopefully coincide with the launch of The Daylight War.
Check out what Peat had to say about his work writing Red Sonja at NYCC:
I have a reputation for writing strong female characters in my books, but Red Sonja is the Original Gangster where kickass fantasy heroines are concerned. I’ve been reading Sonja comics since I was twelve, so working on the Red Sonja: Blue One-Shot last year was a huge thrill. I immediately asked Dynamite to let me pick up where I left off. The new Red Sonja: Unchained 4-issue series will add new depth to the character as she finds herself with blood on her hands that doesn’t easily wash off, struggling with her inner demons even as a very real one pursues her. It will be a great starting point for new readers, but there will be enough action and classic adventure to satisfy even the most hardcore fans.
