A fun, insightful and introspective 'Red Sonja' comic, involving the multiverse and time travel, but not in an annoying, obnoxious or convoluted way. It's done in a way that makes sense for her character and world.
There is powerful, cosmos-and-reality-shattering witchcraft, eldritch monsters, a "goddess" who destroyed all other gods, and reflections on cults, and religion and their impact on humanity in general. Lots of blood, violence and brutality are included.
After the main story is a one-shot where Sonja helps bring forth the marriage between two betrothed young children for an incredibly tenuous political alliance between clans determined to kill each other... it's less wince-inducing than it sounds. Hopefully. After that story ends.
'Unbreakable Red Sonja' - another 'Red Sonja' comic I recommend. For she is unbreakable, no matter what. No matter her past, her present, her future. No matter her gods and goddesses. No matter her trauma and disposition.
She is, and always shall be, a fierce, furious, loyal yet independent, observant, quick, sharp, cunning, undefeatable, and unbreakable warrior, barbarian, hunter, and mercenary, with a heart of gold.
The art is brilliant all around in 'Unbreakable Red Sonja', too.
Final Score: 4/5
