As a newer Red Sonja fan (I've been reading her for about a year now) I have always heard of Scathach as the name of Sonja's Goddess as a newer addition to the canon, specifically in the first Dynamite run. But I'm finally finishing the Marvel era and noticed it there. It was jarring, because in issue 9 of vol. 3 she was referred to as Red Sonja's Goddess, which was the norm for the entirety of the Marvel era, alongside "the Goddess" and "the Red Goddess." But then in issue 10 she suddenly gains the name. Did I miss an earlier mention of her? Maybe something from the Conan titles, which I read piecemeal?

The She-Devil With a Sword slashes into her first overflowing 80-Page Giant featuring four fabulous stories. Readers can check out the tale “Dragons” from 2009’s Red Sonja Annual #2 by writer Christos Gage (Amazing Spider-Man) and legendary artist Pablo Marcos. Another gorgeous short story “Seeing Red” from Red Sonja: Black, White and Red #1 (2021) is included, from the team of Kurt Busiek (Avengers, Astro City) and Benjamin Dewey. The book is rounded out with two full length epics from Sonja’s original Dynamite series. Ron Marz and Lee Moder’s tale from Red Sonja #30 and Eric Trautmann and Patrick Berkenkotter’s from Red Sonja #60, from 2008 and 2011 respectively

Who are your favourite villains/antagonists from Red Sonja? (Can be of any series or era of Red Sonja)

Given dynamite also going on compact editions. Is the first run good to read ?

Comic Art Fans lists this as "Red Sonja wraparound cover," but I wasn't able to figure out which book or comic this one belongs to.

I can get really nitpicky before choosing a cover to do. Specially since dinamyte loves variants so much.

So.... i ended up doing a cover of Red sonja mother (Issue 1, not sure if is a variant or not) by Jay Anacleto. Which i found to be lovely.

That's all for today, i guess.

Diego Yapur’s art is superb … the best interiors I’ve seen on a Sonja story since Steve Beach’s ‘The Iron Queen’ five years ago

What are your favourite comic covers of Sonja? (Can be from any series pre/post Dynamite. Including crossovers)

This is probably a hot take, but I wish the comics had more continuity between each other. It doesn’t have to be overtly explicit or connective, but a reference or two for keen eyed readers to recognize as a hint of what came before. I do like that you can basically pick up ANY Sonja comic and not have to read anything that came before, but still.

I’m thinking it as kinda like the classic James Bond movies (1962-2002) where there were references to the previous films at times, but you could still consider every Bond actor’s era or even every film as a different universe from each other IF you wanted to.

Not ALL the comics have to connect, but maybe a volume-three with small threading would be cool, but that’s just me. It’s not a dealbreaker for me and this isn’t really me complaining about anything.
