Check out my reviews for Red Sonja volume 1 and volume 2.
This book is a great ode to Sonja, a badass barbarian babe. The story starts similarly to the previous two arcs, but goes in a different direction.
Sonja is in a great place after her work for the emperor in the previous arc. But her fortune quickly changes when she encounters a sorcerer that puts a curse on her. There are a lot more supernatural/fantasy elements in this volume, and this kicks them off.
Once Sonja believes the curse is real, she takes matters into her own hands to put an end to it. This leads her to a confrontation with Death, who bears a striking resemblance to Sonja. We see reappearances of those she has saved in her travels, as well as the appearance of the final man responsible for the destruction of her home and family. Sonja's sacrifice and redemption are a great conclusion for this run. They really showcase the hero that she is, even when she doesn't want to shoulder the burden.
Once again, the alternate cover art is fantastic.
