See Some Lovely New Covers for Gail Simone’s ‘Red Sonja’

April 9, 2013

A little while back, Dynamite announced that cult-hero writer Gail Simone was going to be starting a new Red Sonja series for them, and it was going to sport a lot of variant covers from all female artists. Of course, it’s Walter Geovani doing the interior work, but he’s going to have a lot to live up to with these beauties.

Check out these lovely new covers from July’s Red Sonja #1. Simone says “”Red Sonja is one of the original female ass-kickers in comics, of COURSE I would want to write her. Any reader who likes sex, blood, swordplay, sassiness, red hair, adventure, and monsters getting stabbed in the face should get this book.”

First up is Colleen Doran’s entry.

Then there’s the lovely and talented Amanda Conner’s work.

Here’s Jenny Frison’s cover.

A fun one from Stephanie Buscema.

Then here are a pair we’ve seen previously, but are definitely worth seeing again. There’s this one from Nicola Scott…

And finally, a very striking image from Fiona Staples.

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
