Red Sonja Conan by Victor Gischler ~ Cover Design by Alex Ross ~ Artist Roberto Castro

Red Sonja, the fiery She-Devil with a Sword. Conan, the relentess barbarian from Cimmeria. The two legendary heroes of the Hyborian Age are reunited once more, captains in a mercenary army drawn together to wage war on an evil sorcerer. With good swords at their side and loyal men at their backs, Sonja and Conan believe themselves more than capable of defeating Kal'Ang, an ambitious herbalist whose power resides in Blood Root experimentation. But little do they know, a shadow of the past has returned, a foe both familiar and fearsome... and whose secret goal is nothing short of divinity! @goodreads

MY REVIEW:

5 STARS

Oh this was such an awesome graphic novel! I was taken back to the day in my teens when I read Conan comics all of the time. I actually have tons of them still and I have been buying the big omnibuses they have been coming out with, I also have some Red Sonja comics.

I thought this was a great book and it's now on my wishlist on Amazon!

The tale is about a wizard named Ka'ang who is into herbology, mainly working with blood root, he's making an elixer so he can be the all powerful. Red Sonja and Conan team up to fight for the King, they didn't know about Ka'ang just yet.

So Conan and Sonja get an army together so they can go to battle for the King. But... it takes an unexpected turn when they are attacked in the night by some funky, gynormous dude things! The dude things give them a message from Ka'ang. Well you know this just enrages Conan and Sonja so they set out early to attack Ka'ang.

I'm not going to say any more but just know it's so awesome and they fight all kinds of creatures until they find out a big surprise toward the end. I love the graphics, they remind me of younger days! Loved it!
