Red Sonja Volume 3 The Forgiving of Monsters Red Sonja Tp New Gail Simone Walter Geovani jenny frison 9781606906019 Books Reviews
- This is the last volume of Red Sonja Gail Simone wrote, at least the last that isn't a crossover with someone else. While I was hoping for more, I'm still satisfied with how the series ended.
Volume three of Red Sonja has two arcs. In the first, Sonja fights against a wizard, who curses her with the inability to forgive. Purely by coincidence, she happens to run into one of the men who killed her family. The result is Sonja on the warpath for anyone who gets in her way, and it's a great character arc, with plenty of great one-liners. In the second, Sonja is hired to guard a library and the books inside. While the arc did have a great fight at the end, the bad guys way too underdeveloped. I would have rather had an entire volume dedicated to that arc instead of just two issues.
Sad to see this series end. - The first part of the first story is pretty decent. Nice set up with the curse, the evil wizard had a pretty memorable design, but then...I've seen stories $#1t themselves, but this one did it so bad it stained the pretty decent story we saw in the first volume.
The second part of the book is okay. Not bad, not good, just okay. I understand this was Gail Simone's last round and this was a pretty stumbling note to leave on. - The least of the three.
- Exactly as described
- Gail Simone just wrote the equivalent of Miller's TDKR for Red Sonja. Masterwork. One of best trilogies ever writen in sword & sorcery comic books, and the best Red Sonja Arch Ever! And Giovanni adds the precise and more than appropiate art.
- Issue by issue, Gail Simone is taking ownership of Red Sonja, and that is an exceptionally good thing. Simone conceives of Sonja as much more human, complex, flawed, and interesting than so many of her forebears. Sonja has foibles, desires, mores, and flaws which emerge step by step. In these stories, Sonja remains entirely Sonja, but sometimes she wears practical armor. Sometimes she sleeps with pretty boys for the enjoyment of it. Sometimes she sleeps with the girls too and, given her role and personality and the world within which she exists, doesn't that make an enormous amount of sense?
Yet all the key trappings of Sword & Sorcery are here. Simone hasn't cast away a single element crucial to making Red Sonja. Indeed, this is the Sonja I've always waited for. This is what she was meant to be. - Very very impressive artwork here. Love what they have done with Sonya all around here. Wish they had made more!
- The finale of the strongest run of Red Sonja. A must read for any comic fan.
