Dynamite Entertainment has announced a brand-new flagship ongoing series hitting fans this May, as Red Sonja rips and tears into She-Devil With a Sword driven by writer Rory McConville and artist Pablo de Bonis.
“Know also, ‘o prince, that in the self-same days that the Cimmerian did stalk the Hyborian Kingdoms, one of the few swords worthy to cross with his was that of Red Sonja, warrior-woman out of majestic Hyrkania.” — The Nemedian Chronicles
The fiery-haired heroine of Hyrkania finds herself caught in the middle of a spring of revolution. A turbulent movement is determined to reshape all of Hyboria in their image, and have no interest in sparing anyone in their way. The She-Devil must protect the last descendant of an ancient bloodline from their scourge. The person under Sonja’s protection, Aretha, is needed for a blood ritual, and Sonja sets out to try to free her from this cursed fate. Questions will arise through this latest quest that will shake the She-Devil to her core!
Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword #1 features the first appearance of the Brotherhood of the Rising Sun, as well as several new friends and foes of Red Sonja in her ongoing epics.
Irish icon Rory McConville has been a rapidly rising star in comics, a key powerhouse in the revived scorching hot popularity of the Spawn mythos contributing to multiple titles, chronicling the latest cases of Judge Dredd, independent titles like Time Before Time and Write It In Blood, and has dipped his toes into the Dynamite pool co-writing The Terminator: Metal alongside Declan Shalvey. Now he’s jumping headfirst into the deep end by taking on one of the publisher’s crown jewels. Rory is joined in this bold new series by artist Pablo de Bonis. The duo and the rest of the creative team are sharpening their swords, ready to present an all-new set of sagas starring the She-Devil.
The first issue features a range of electrifying cover artists including an instantly iconic piece by Stuart Sayger, the return of fan-favorites Lucio Parrillo, and Joseph Michael Linsner, as well as Mike Rooth, and a cosplay photo from Woman of Wonder. Fans can customize their own cover or get one from a favorite creator via a Blank Authentix. For collectors who love the chase and mystery, a premium blind bag is available featuring three limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to this offering.
This is only the beginning. Red Sonja: She-Devil With a Sword launches a new wave of epic adventures for the She-Devil — one of several major projects set to thunder onto shelves in 2026 and beyond!
