One of the most legendary creators in comics history meets one of its most celebrated characters as Sonja Reborn slashes into stores and readers' pull lists this August! This tale of survival takes a hard look at what life in the Hyborian Age might actually be like for a modern woman suddenly thrust into it. How might a single woman survive a land of mystical threats and monsters without caving to her fears, dying of infection, or losing the conditional loyalty of her male cutthroats?
Christopher Priest, a boundary-smashing figure in comics for nearly five decades, brings his inventive take on Red Sonja. "We might have called this book 'Becoming Red Sonja,'" Priest explains. "The book delves into the culture shock of a presumed nightmare from which you cannot awaken." This new series brings his trademark missing-puzzle-piece plot assembly and twisted humor for a historic reimagining of the classics.
Sonja Reborn presents young British diplomatic clerk Maggie Sutherland, stolen from 2025, who suddenly finds herself transformed into the fiery-haired Hyrkanian reaver Red Sonja. Caught in a world of gods and monsters, Maggie must figure out what fate has beset her and struggle to find her way home. Together, Priest and artist Alessandro Miracolo reexamine the crimson-maned warrior from the inside out, creating a riveting reinterpretation of Maggie's hero's journey.
This comics adventure is perfect for sword and sorcery fans old and new! No prior continuity knowledge is required to be swept away by the action and thrilling lore, while longtime devotees will find novel ideas and fresh takes on the character and genre tropes. The creative team is complemented by bewitching variant covers from renowned talents including Stjepan Šejić, Joshua Middleton, and more.
