Red Sonja She-Devil With a Sword Shines in Dynamite’s Next Compact Edition!

Posted on by

Following the announcement of the debut of Dynamite‘s line of Compact Editions with pulse-pounding Pathfinder fables, the line expands later this year with the She-Devil With a Sword slashing into her first volume. Red Sonja She-Devil With a Sword Compact Edition Volume 1 is solicited in Dynamite’s April for July Dispatches, set for release in 2026.

Know also, O Prince, that in the selfsame days that the Cimmerian did stalk the Hyborian Kingdoms, one of the few swords worthy to cross with his was that of a warrior-woman out of majestic Hyrkania. She, the mother of vengeance, hunter of evil, all fear for your souls… fear the RED SONJA!

Stuffed with over 200 pages of ravishing Red Sonja action for just $9.99, this is a can’t-miss volume and a perfect introduction to the character. Presented at 5.5 by 8.5 inches, the book includes the massive historic Red Sonja #0 from 2005, followed by the first couple arc.

The critically acclaimed Dynamite era of Red Sonja started with writing by superstars Michael Avon Oeming and Mike Carey with a crop of sword and sorcery master illustrators led by Mel Rubi and gorgeous colors by Richard Isanove.

It all started here, with beloved runs that followed by Brian Reed, Walter Geovani, Eric Trautmann, Luke Lieberman, Joshua Ortega, Frank Cho, Arvid Nelson, Gail Simone, Marguerite Bennett, Aneke, Amy Chu, Carlos Gomez, Erik Burnham, Mark Russell, Mirko Colak, Mirka Andolfo, Giuseppe Cafaro, Torunn Grønbekk, Christopher Priest, and so many more. With future Compact Editions liable to loop in some of these other fan-favorite storylines.
