Liz ，

All those fights， blood， gore， rape attempt， and castration， but somehow a curse word is a shade too far？

Ned Leffingwell ，

This is a wacky， over the top story and I loved every minute of it。 We have all of the Red Sonja tropes， such as people getting their limbs sliced off and huge battles。 This was a fun read。 Recommended for fans of pulp sword and sorcery action。

David J Motta ，

HuhDo you read Red Sonja and Conan because of all the lightsaber wielding robots and laser guns and time travel？ Me neither。 What were they thinking with this one？ They completely missed the point of the Hyborian Age。

Liked the artwork。。。but the story felt like it was missing something。 And there were sections that felt like they weren't thought through which was frustrating。 Liked the artwork。。。but the story felt like it was missing something。 And there were sections that felt like they weren't thought through which was frustrating。 。。。more

For SOME REASON hoopla has this title listed in the LGBTQ category and let me just say that this book has zero queer content。 I'm so mad。 I wanted to see Red Sonja be canonically wlw。 I got stiffed， folks For SOME REASON hoopla has this title listed in the LGBTQ category and let me just say that this book has zero queer content。 I'm so mad。 I wanted to see Red Sonja be canonically wlw。 I got stiffed， folks 。。。more

What fun this was！ Stupid， yes， but fun。 And fast also。 A good read with all its robots， time traveling and wanking around with swords。

This is worst Red Sonja comic book I have ever read and one of the stupidest comic books I have ever read。 The story goes like this: （view spoiler）[Black Tower appears out of nowhere and robots start going out of the tower murdering people。 Sonja sees this and organized great resistance and everybody gets killed and she gets decapitated and mounted on the wall of the ruler of the robots and tower。 Sometime later comes another Sonja （the book does not give a shit telling you how did she come to b This is worst Red Sonja comic book I have ever read and one of the stupidest comic books I have ever read。 The story goes like this: （view spoiler）[Black Tower appears out of nowhere and robots start going out of the tower murdering people。 Sonja sees this and organized great resistance and everybody gets killed and she gets decapitated and mounted on the wall of the ruler of the robots and tower。 Sometime later comes another Sonja （the book does not give a shit telling you how did she come to be there。 She says something like: I am maybe her， or her clone， or even her reincarnation I do not know） fucks the mighty lord till he tells her that he is not all-mighty god but in fact he is a time traveler who SOMEHOW got there with robots 。 So new Sonja decapitates him goes back in time and kill his mother。。 Tadaaa the end （hide spoiler）]Art is ok but I am not interested in only nice pictures I need story。 And this story looks like has been done in 15 minutes。 。。。more

Every cliche storytelling trope you could imagine， but worse because nobody would ever dare use them。 The only thing that saved this book was the villains were somewhat interesting。 Except for the very end when we learn this amazing dark god figure is just a time traveling bro。 The artwork was worthy， which is the only reason I gave this that second star。

It's not quite one of those "so bad it's good" comics。 More like in the area of vatderheck？ But you read anyway because it's just so unbelievably bad。 xD It's not quite one of those "so bad it's good" comics。 More like in the area of vatderheck？ But you read anyway because it's just so unbelievably bad。 xD 。。。more

This started out as a fun mixing of sword/sorcery and SciFi with Sonja doing her best Nick Fury impression。 Unfortunately， the ending made no sense at all。

Chad ，

A very strange Red Sonja story where she fights robots from the future。

Borrowed from Publiser/NetGalley for an honest review。This may not be the most eloquent way of stating this but here it goes。 This story absolutely stinks！ It's was so poorly written and convoluted。 It was a bad mix of Star Wars， Doctor Who and other generic elements of sci-fi which made it even more weird because it was in a Red Sonja story。 Borrowed from Publiser/NetGalley for an honest review。This may not be the most eloquent way of stating this but here it goes。 This story absolutely stinks！ It's was so poorly written and convoluted。 It was a bad mix of Star Wars， Doctor Who and other generic elements of sci-fi which made it even more weird because it was in a Red Sonja story。 。。。more

I did love this new book of Red Sonja。 It was really different one than earlier。 And the illustration art work with combat scenes was really a pleasure to go through。

This collects the issues of Red Sonja: The Black Tower into one single volume。 This story has everything you want in a good Tom Baker Doctor Who episode: false gods， evil robots， time travelers。 Except that this is a Red Sonja story。 And， honestly， the whole thing just feels weird and discordant。 I mean， there are Red-Sonja-ish bits to the story， especially at the start， but， on the whole， it's just strange。 The art is fine， but the plot is strange and the pacing is uneven。 It just doesn't feel This collects the issues of Red Sonja: The Black Tower into one single volume。 This story has everything you want in a good Tom Baker Doctor Who episode: false gods， evil robots， time travelers。 Except that this is a Red Sonja story。 And， honestly， the whole thing just feels weird and discordant。 I mean， there are Red-Sonja-ish bits to the story， especially at the start， but， on the whole， it's just strange。 The art is fine， but the plot is strange and the pacing is uneven。 It just doesn't feel like a Red Sonja story at all。 And if I imagine that it's some generic red-haired warrior woman instead， then the story doesn't really get any better。 This whole book just felt odd and pointless。 。。。more

A firm three stars， even if， while this is a snappy and fun little read， it is little – slight， almost。 And while it tries to do something different with the character， format and whole genre of Red Sonja， what it brings to the table doesn't always work。 Well done to it for jumping great gaps of years at a time， and not feeding the audience every little detail necessary for the story。 The artwork is as you'd expect – although sometimes the splash pages are a little unnecessary and add to the fee A firm three stars， even if， while this is a snappy and fun little read， it is little – slight， almost。 And while it tries to do something different with the character， format and whole genre of Red Sonja， what it brings to the table doesn't always work。 Well done to it for jumping great gaps of years at a time， and not feeding the audience every little detail necessary for the story。 The artwork is as you'd expect – although sometimes the splash pages are a little unnecessary and add to the feeling of lack where script and plot are concerned。 Would this team be able to carry on replacing Simone for a long time？ Who knows， but they certainly have enough to immerse you in these lands once more for a weird little fantasy piece。 。。。more

The best aspect of this trade was the Amanda Conner covers。 Pretty um。。 bad。 Just blah。 Weak story， art was okay。 It was like "Men bad， Women helpless victims" the whole way， poor storytelling as whole。I received an advanced copy of this from NetGalley。com and the publisher。 The best aspect of this trade was the Amanda Conner covers。 Pretty um。。 bad。 Just blah。 Weak story， art was okay。 It was like "Men bad， Women helpless victims" the whole way， poor storytelling as whole。I received an advanced copy of this from NetGalley。com and the publisher。 。。。more

I love the character of Red Sonja。 But I wasn't really into this version of her。 I'm not sure what it was。 Maybe it was the whole idea of the story。 Maybe the writing。 It's hard to put my finger on it。 Everything happened so quickly。 It was like an epic story was forced to fit into a short story。 It jumps right into the action， but it feels like sequences were cut out of a film。 The whole thing felt rushed - the story， the writing， even the art。 Almost as if they didn't have enough time to tell I love the character of Red Sonja。 But I wasn't really into this version of her。 I'm not sure what it was。 Maybe it was the whole idea of the story。 Maybe the writing。 It's hard to put my finger on it。 Everything happened so quickly。 It was like an epic story was forced to fit into a short story。 It jumps right into the action， but it feels like sequences were cut out of a film。 The whole thing felt rushed - the story， the writing， even the art。 Almost as if they didn't have enough time to tell the story， or put the whole story together。 And the dialogue is a bit tedious and cliche。 And the whole storyline？ It just didn't seem to fit a Red Sonja story。 Recommended maybe only for the most die-hard red Sonja fan。 Thanks to NetGalley， Diamond， and IDW for a copy in return for an honest review。 。。。more

'Red Sonja: The Black Tower' is about a character that is popular in comics again， but this story feels like a bit of a set back。In the city of Lur， a mysterious black tower has emerged， and we are told that it's existence will cause the death of Red Sonja。 Before it does， she will have to deal with some idiot men who need a lesson。 Unfortunately， she leaves one alive and he vows his revenge。 You know that will come back to haunt her。 We see the town over the years as chaos reigns and a strange 'Red Sonja: The Black Tower' is about a character that is popular in comics again， but this story feels like a bit of a set back。In the city of Lur， a mysterious black tower has emerged， and we are told that it's existence will cause the death of Red Sonja。 Before it does， she will have to deal with some idiot men who need a lesson。 Unfortunately， she leaves one alive and he vows his revenge。 You know that will come back to haunt her。 We see the town over the years as chaos reigns and a strange religion crops up worshiping the tower。 Will Sonja die at the hands of the Black Tower？This was a gimmicky story with a gimmicky twist。 Also， it brought in another genre that didn't really work for me with the story。 The art is the shining light on this work。 We've had some sharp， smart stories about Red Sonja lately， but， unfortunately， this wasn't one of them。I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors， Dynamite Entertainment， and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel。 。。。more
