Does anybody actually read Red Sonya?

[WompuM]

I know it's not a DC book but I wanted the DC reader opinion...
It seems every other article at newsarama is about red sonya. Is this book very very good and i've just never picked it up? what's the deal there. why does newsarama have such a hard on for this book? it's quite annoying.

Basically all I can say about Red Sonya is if you're looking for a shot of awful **** & violence comicbookery... then I don't know, go buy Warlord or something, cause this isn't even good at that.

We need a "Red Sonja just Becuase" thread to acknowledge her sheer awesomeness.

Yes we do.

 

[XwolverineX]

Never read one.

I've been buying the new series since issue #1... it's ok, though I haven't read the last 6 issues (too busy with work/life, etc...)

Since the Conan resurection, I've been buying both books, mostly from my fondness of the characters in the 70's.

It's not the same as it was then, but they've been decent.

#1 answer on the board...it's the etc...tha gets you

Carey Nord's and Kurt Busiek's (former) work on the D.H. Conan far outweighs the gimmicky nature of the New Red Sonya book. How many heads can you slice clean off-send Red to the future (the 70's) or something for a plot turn.

The "No-sex-until-someone-defeats-me" is a major turn-off, though......

Put her in the same group as Powergirl, Wonder Woman and Rogue as the most unsatisfied women in their universes....

Add to this list those Amazon chicks that the little blue Green Lantern founders have been bangin sine the beginning of time.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that point... I guess it's the 70's nostalgia that pulls me in.

Since I haven't read it in 6 issues, I'll probably be dropping it within a year.

Oooh, now you did it.

I don´t think it is even biologically possible to be THAT much unsatisfied for such a period of time, those girls must be climbing through the ROOF!

I dunno about that, the guardians may be a bunch of ridiculous blue midgets, but they are a bunch of nigh-omnipotent ridiculous blue midgets. If there was actually a case where it was plausible to say that size doesn't matter, I should think that would be it. Plus even then those chicks are, themselves, nigh-omnipotent, so I'm sure they can manage on their own.

Can't go wrong with that.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yes we do.

Never actually read a Sonya story apart from the Spiderman/Sonya team up in 'Marvel Team up #79'.

But Frank Thorne's art freakin rocked.............

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I know it's just a shadow, but it looks like Sonja has some wicked 'pit hair. Which, really, would be truer to her character anyway.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Hehe yeah, Thorne sumtimes had a tendancy to give the women he drew a bit of pit fuzz depending on their nature.

Imagine what his Wonder Woman (and the other Amazons) would have looked like.

Yikes.
