New Red Sonja Special Coming in June


Red Sonja is a hero with legends popping up around her frequently, largely owing to her impressive combat skills and general reputation for being awesome. Gail Simone has infused her with even more awesome, but she's not the only one offering up tales of the red-headed she-devil. This June, Dynamite is tapping Marc Mason and Noah Solanga (special cover by Sergio Fernandez Davila) for a new oversized one-shot called Red Sonja: Sanctuary.

"If all you knew was death, what would happen if you were offered a new life," says writer Marc Mason? When Raven, Scathach's other favored warrior, returns, Sonja finds herself with an option she could have never anticipated: the chance to lay down her sword and embark on a new path. But such choices are not without cost, because even if Sonja can change, the world remains a brutal place and violence is never far away."

In Red Sonja: Sanctuary, Raven returns. In a distant, hidden forest, Sonja finds Scathach's other chosen warrior has turned over a new leaf and renounced violence. Can Sonja do the same? Offered a chance to have friends, family, and a life without the sword, Sonja begins to see the course of her life change. But when a group of mercenaries determined to bring Raven to justice enter the mix, Sonja discovers that perhaps the only course her life can ever take is one of violence and tragedy.

Red Sonja: Sanctuary will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' April Previews catalog, the premiere source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release on June 18th, 2014. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital. Full press release below.
