"In Part Four of "His Master's Voice," the battle is met - and it is fierce and bloody! No stranger to the carnage of war, Red Sonja stands with the defenders at the battlements as Thord Varg presses his forces to destroy the She-Devil With a Sword - and every living soul around her. But cruel as he is, Varg's malevolence pales in comparison to the forces of evil that are waiting in the wings!

Written by TORUNN GR NBEKK and illustrated by WALTER GEOVANI, this acclaimed series continues its stellar run of cover artists here with exemplary work from LUCIO PARRILLO, JUNGGEON YOON, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, and BJORN BARENDS (along with another stunning cosplay cover by Rachel Hollon!)!

Score:

★★★★☆(4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: As Varg's forces descend on the castle, Red Sonja readies for a bloody battle. The impending conflict begins and as chaotic as expected, Walter Geovani does his best to choreograph a clear look at the mayhem and bloodshed. Such a battle is a challenge for any artist and Geovani is up to the task with some controlled chaos. Torunn Gronbekk's script is dense for issue four as there's a lot going on, a lot of moving parts, and can be a little jumbled trying to balance the carnage with some surprising developments. Overall, the issue delivers a bloody confrontation as promised in spectacular fashion while also upping the ante even more.
