Dynamite Entertainment has been sending us a heck of a lot of awesome exclusives lately, and this one is no different! Being a fan of the Queen Sonja series, I was really excited to receive this preview in my inbox this morning! Of the two books that will be hitting stores this August, I have to say Queen Sonja has been the series I find myself looking forward to the most- and this upcoming issue is no different. 
 
In Queen Sonja #11, writer Luke Lieberman takes readers back to a time long before Sonja's reign as ruler and Queen- to a time where she was just an innocent girl and an orphan, who witnessed the brutal murder of both her parents. Lieberman has the opportunity to delve into Sonja's back story and mold her character, and that's a heap of responsibility. Will he be up to the challenge? I am really looking forward to learning about Sonja as a young girl, are you?  Check out the solicit and cover for Queen Sonja #11 to the right and scroll down for a look at Red Sonja #52.  

QUEEN SONJA #11
32 pages FC  •  $3.99  •  Teen +
Written by LUKE LIEBERMAN  
Art by MEl RUBI
Covers by LUCIO PARRILLO (75%) & MEL RUBI (25%)
Roots - explores a time before Sonja was a queen, before she was a legend, a time when she was just a girl lost in a big brutal world.  An orphan whose parents were butchered in front of her, and whose innocence was stolen.  A girl with something to prove, running from the past into the great unknown.

Pretty sure i'd read this if she didn't live in her bathing suit.
 
That's just ridiculous.

It's like cars exploding because they got shot in a movie.  It's not real, it's not practical....  but we love it because it's awesome!  :D

Hard to decide which cover I like more. That first has impressive detail, but feels a bit too much like a Heavy Metal magazine cover. The Red Sonja cover is cool, but I feel like more detail could of gone into it.

" Did Pixelized just complain because Sonja alks around in a chainmail bikini? Unbelievable LOL "

It's not that she walks around in her chainmail bikini, it's that she lives in it. I refuse to lose IQ points pretending that's plausible, but anyway, you must be new.
 
In a world where free porn is 2 clicks away, anyone still using the adage "sex sells," comes across as tired, desperate, and as nothing more than trying to lure in impressionable readers to crap story lines; All of which are an instant reason not to buy the book. It'd be like you talking to a really hot girl, only to find out that's she's really a dude, something I refer to as a, "Grey Goose."
 
Not to mention that it's promoting stereotypes about comic readers.

@danhimself:

I agree with Pixelized here. I would probably go out of my way to read this, than use it as a last resort as I do now, if she didn't live in that thing. Now, I could respect if Dynamite could even make up a decent excuse, but it's just ridiculous. But on the plus side, they do show guy warriors with about as much clothing too, besides capes/robes, which is a relief after seeing a new trailer for the umpteenth game with guys as walking, armored tanks, and everyone else looks like they may just as well be going to the beach, rather than going to kill Cthulu, or whatever.

@pixelized:
Good point, why read Power Girl just to see a chick with huge boobs when porn is so incredibly easy to come across?
