Red Sonja: Death and the Devil #3 // Review
When he was a boy, he saw his mother killed her. She was hung from a tree. He didn’t really know what to do so he stood guard over her body that was hanging there. You’ve been there for long enough that her spirit started talking to them. And then they all did. They could all talk to him. Now he’s hanging out with a warrior. But she devil with us or in Red Sonja: Death and the Devil #3. Writer Luke Lieberman and artist Alberto Locatello continue there a tale of sword, and sorcery in the supernatural in an issue that gets a little bit more into the past of the title character.
Sonja is seeing her entire community killed. Although that happened a long time ago. It is that or she’s seen? Is she actually seeing herself? That’s entirely possible. Things have been pretty weird lately. And she hasn’t really been able to get a firm sense of where she is. we can see the time and talk to them with someone who has killed a lot of and there’s no telling what’s going to happen when it all comes to an end. Certainly there needs to be a certain amount of retribution. Exactly what form that’s going to take up to a speculation.
Lieberman is working on a number of different ideas that all seem to be moving in different directions. However, the overall theme of death and dying in those things that cause it to happen remain pretty prominent throughout the series. There’s a kind of wistful restlessness about it that gets to the heart of Sonja, and who she is on a level that doesn’t often make it to the page. It’s kind of satisfying to see that happen.
Locatelli has a very clean style with all the color that serves the overall power of the story quite well. The power of the color really comes across and a number of different occasions. It’s a very vivid look at something that’s very perky. And that’s really necessary under the circumstances. Things get really lost and it’s nice to have visuals that are clear in contrast to the darkness in ambiguity of a script.
And given the length of the life in the comic book danger, it’s nice to see you if there’s still some life that can be found around the edges of the character. It’s entirely possible that this sort of thing has been covered before on more than one occasion. But it’s been a while. And it’s nice to see it given such a strikingly clear perspective here at me And have a big anniversary for that she devil with a sword. It’s very cool to see the way things come together on this.
