As war consumes the land, the She-Devil With a Sword evades capture at every turn while Varg readies his next assault. But deep in the shadows, a voice is calling out to all of them, as it begins to pull together the final strings of its sinister plan! This next thrilling chapter in the all-new Red Sonja adventure “His Master’s Voice” continues to be expertly crafted by writer TORUNN GRØNBEKK and Sonja superstar artist WALTER GEOVANI (with colors by OMI REMALANTE, JR.) — and features another stellar assembly of cover artists, including JOSHUA MIDDLETON, LUCIO PARRILLO, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, BJORN BARENDS, BRYAN HITCH, and FRANK CHO.

Score:

★★★★★ (5/5)

QUICK REVIEW: You know a comic is good when you get lost in the story and yell "Noooo" when it ends. It's even worse when you're a critic and have to keep a critical eye as you read only to fanboy at the execution of the issue. Torunn Grønbekk, Walter Geovani, and Omi Remalante, Jr. have already put together one of the best runs of 'Red Sonja' so far with only three issues in. Sonja keeps fighting her way through merecenaries and mind-controlled mobs while Varg's huge army marches on. Torunn Grønbekk, Walter Geovani, and Omi Remalante, Jr. create great action, tension, and intrigue using quintessential Sonja toughness and humor and a greater overarching plot with interesting and consequential characters. And Sonja under Geovani's pencils looks strong and feminine and as iconic as ever. If you love sword and sorcery, fantasy done right, look no forward than 'Red Sonja.'
