Red Sonja #15 // Review

The red-haired she-Devil never claims that she is not a goddess. But she can see things. She knows things that others don’t. However, I’d help her as she is currently behind bars of a sort. Things are going to be very complicated for her in. Red Sonja #15. Writer Torunn Grønbekk continues a fascinating wrong with me enduring warrior. The visuals of the story are brought to page and panel by artist Walter Giovanni and cooorist Omi Remelante Jr. It’s a promising I look forward aspects of Sonia’s personality, explored in ways that they haven’t quite been explored before it is not in recent years.

They don’t really know what to make of her. Perhaps that’s why they decided to put her behind bars. She’s probably more than a little dangerous and Current to their perceptions of things. Of course, the longer she’s in the more like or she have to be dangerous for a lot more people on the other side of the barn. There might’ve been a time when she would have been very hostile about the whole situation. However, she is now in a position to be able to have clairvoyant perception and so perhaps this  provides her with some kind of combing awareness.

Gronbekk is cautious, not to completely change the character based on a single power that she has now. There’s a lot of danger that’s working around the edges of everything. And it’s a delicate balance between what she’s capable of doing and where she is. The action of the plot is deeply intertwined with the deeper dramas at work. It’s a very clever and textured approach to setting up a script. And there’s a lot of attention being paid to ensuring that there’s enough to explore individual while also getting into deeper emotional and psychological matters.

Giovanni’s work has a beautifully kinetic aspect. That works pretty well on the page. It does seem to be moving in and around everything with kind of fluidity of it. The lens itself all to the action. However, some of the different aspects of the drama might not quite hit the page and just the right way. That being said, there is clear intensity and clever awareness of deeper matters. That may be at work in.Gronbekk’ as script that seem to be in a meeting around the edges of everything.

She is a powerful warrior. And a powerful warrior plagued by knowledge that goes deeper than the surface is an interesting thing to explore. Theoretically, the writer couldn’t really do a good job of expanding on that in a way that could work itself out into something much more substantial than what other writers have been able to explore with Sonya over the years. Should be interesting to see what it is that she’s able to do.Gronbekk no is that she can’t change that much and still have Sonia be in distinctively Sonia. So just found a very dramatic way of developing the character in a different direction that still feels true to the appeal of who she is
