Red Sonja Reunites With Torunn Grønbekk This Holiday!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Dynamite has announced a creator and character reunion as well as a holiday celebration, all going down this December in the Red Sonja Solstice Special!

Writer Torunn Grønbekk returns to the She-Devil With a Sword, following her acclaimed 18-issue saga that ran from 2023 to 2025. The Norwegian scribe was able to channel a unique lens into the sword and sorcery genre, and she picks right up where she left off tapping into that here with this unique approach to a holiday special. Her partner on this quest is artist Edson.

It is midwinter in the Hyborean Age, and people everywhere are celebrating the holiday season. Having come into some gold on a recent swashbuckling adventure, Red Sonja is herself celebrating in a tavern enjoying some feasting and drink.

All that tranquility is terrifyingly shattered as the fiery-haired sword-swinger makes a trip to a cursed village, with demons, slaughter, and carnage in its wake. Holiday celebrations can often get hectic, but not quite as bloody and deadly as this!

Vampirella cover artist extraordinaire Francesco Mattina is joined on the covers slate by instant all-star Josephine Tomarchio, who stunned with her Dynamite Debut on Sonja’s Women of Dynamite compatriot Vampi’s new Paradise series. Her contribution here is no less awe-inspiring, and is also featured for the design of the mystery blind bags. The team is rounded out by favorite cosplayer Megan Random.

Vengeance Stalks the Plane of Innistrad in Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Liliana

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast present Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Liliana, a new series featuring the powerful necromancer Liliana Vess. The four-issue miniseries will be written by Torunn Grønbekk, illustrated by Nataliia Rerekina, colored by Lauren Affe, and lettered by Clayton Cowles. Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Liliana #1 arrives in October 2026 and will feature covers by Rerekina, Sibylline Meynet, and Abigail Larson.

Liliana Vess is the most powerful necromancer in the multiverse, but her power came at a cost. For her strength and her mastery of death, Liliana bargained her soul to four powerful demons: Kothophed, Razaketh, Belzenlok, and Griselbrand. But now, Liliana seeks to regain her freedom and destroy the pact she wears etched into her skin.

Liliana’s journey has brought her to Innistrad, the rumored location of Griselbrand, and a plane rife with corruption, chaos, and suffering. Determined to hunt the demon down and reclaim the piece of her soul he took, her task will not be an easy one—for Liliana Vess is not the only seeker of vengeance upon the plane of Innistrad.

Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories – Liliana #1 (of 4) releases in stores on October 14, 2026. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.
