Following her arrest, Sonja makes a deal with the King to endorse him in order to sway public opinion in his favour, thus receiving a pardon for her crimes. Does Sonja have any cards to play if she agrees to the plan? Or will there be further complications to deal with?

There’s a lot of dialogue and scheming in this issue, with very little in the way of action. Which might sound like very different to what Red Sonja is usually about, but it’s handled extremely well, and there’s some very intriguing stuff put in place by the final page here.

I loved how both sides played each other to their advantage here, and with the climax being such a shocker, I genuinely can’t wait to see where this is going. Excellent stuff.
