Dynamite Entertainment and Sonjaversal #1 Spoilers and Review follows.
How Many Sonja’s Show Up On Top Of Red Sonja and Why?
The book has a fair number of variant covers on top of the one above.
Plus the main cover.
Well, the solicitation for the issue promised the following:
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMIC BOOK TO EVER COME OUT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Starring: RED Sonja, BLUE Sonja, GREEN Sonja, ORANGE Sonja, SAINT Sonja, HELL Sonja, and MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!
And, they’re fighting for Sonja supremacy from the same solicit:
An evil god punishes Sonja’s across dimensions. What’s the punishment? SONJA’S MUST KILL OTHER SONJA’S. The battle for SONJA SUPREMACY BEGINS IN THE EVENT OF 2021, by CHRISTOPHER HASTINGS (Gwenpool) and PASQUALE QUALANO (DIE!NAMITE)!
Well, the issue opens with Orange Sonja confronted by either a one-name Sonja or this is the aforementioned Saint Sonja.
Saint Sonja stops Orange Sonja from interfering in the battle between Purple Sonja and Green Sonja.
It appears the Purple Sonja won the battle.
We then pivot elsewhere…
…Orange Sonja is…
…confronted by the Red Sonja!
The Pulse:
An intriguing premise, compelling debut issue, and decent art. Curious about all these Sonjas as someone with a pedestrian understanding of the character as I’m not a regular reader. Issue was pretty accessible for me. 7 out of 10.
