Red Sonja #14

Red Sonja #14 comic reviewRed Sonja‘s victory over the conqueror Dragan The Magnificent didn’t come without a cost. Hyrkania is in ruins, it’s people starving, and Sonja is forced to look to an old enemy for help. Leaving the remains of her kingdom in the hands of her trusted adviser, Sonja travels to Khitai to bargain with King Jo’Khan who killed her mentor on his rise to power.

While much of the current volume has focused on Red Sonja in struggle, Red Sonja #14 features the heroine at the mercy of an enemy (in his ornate, and functional, throne room designed to keep enemies at a distance) who agrees to help feed Sonja’s people in exchange for the She Devil with a Sword training and leading his armies against all who might oppose him.

Angel + Spike #9

Angel + Spike #9 comic reviewFollowing the events of the Hellmouth crossover, a soulless Spike has taken up residence with Angel Investigations and proven himself a worthy ally (if not a trustworthy one). Angel‘s return leads to some conflict among the group who stands up for Spike against their boss’ reservations leading to Angel begrudging accepting Spike’s inclusion and a brand-new title for the comic.

Considering the original timeline didn’t pair up the two until both had their souls, it will be interesting to see what differences a soulless Spike has on Angel Investigations.

Falcon & Winter Soldier #1

Falcon & Winter Soldier #1 comic reviewFalcon & Winter Soldier #1 unites two former Captain America stand-ins as an attempt on Bucky Barnes‘ life and a separate investigation by the Falcon put the heroes on the same path investigating why someone attacked an entire office of covert American agents and also tried to assassinate both the Winter Solider and his cat.

The issue reminds us in their first interaction that while the two are friendly with each other, the heroes aren’t exactly friends. This sets up the basic odd couple dynamic with the pair being forced to work together until they uncover what is going on and what it has to do with an exceptionally skilled teenage fan of theirs with lots of blood on his hands.
