DF Releases Red Sonja Trading Cards In October
August 2 2005, Runnemede, NJ – Dynamic Forces announced today that it would be releasing its premiere Red Sonja Trading Cards series.
The cards, scheduled for release in October through comic shops, card shops and other specialty retailers across the country, serve as both a companion and enhancement to the Dynamite Red Sonja Comic Book series.
“With the Dynamite Red Sonja Series doing so well, and the creators giving their very best to tell such a compelling story and produce such great artwork, the time is right to be releasing the trading cards,” explained DF President Nick Barrucci. ” So, we’re highlighting all of the art featuring Sonja over her entire comics career. It’s the best of the old and the new and everything in between!”
The cards are available by the Box (AUG052898) (or case for fans who like receiving the case incentives) through your local specialty retailer (and by the pack directly from Dynamic Forces) as well as two special binders: a Regular Binder (AUG052902) and a Deluxe Binder (AUG052903) featuring a bonus card signed by current Sonja artist Mel Rubi!
Retailers are encouraged to order through Diamond Comic Distributors or Inkworks Trading Cards.
Look for it all in October!
