Red Sonja: Sonja Goes East

    (Dynamite, 2006)
™ and © Dynamite Entertainment

Cheng Ruong is the bored, spoiled  and corrupt prince of the far eastern land of Khitai. He has an extensive harem that he employs to relieve his boredom and it’s to this group of concubines that a captive Red Sonja finds herself confined. (The prince’s chamberlain obtained her from a slave trader who captured her in a drunken stupor after a bar fight.) Red Sonja, drunk and defeated, may sound plausible to a reader who is completely unfamiliar with the character, but for anyone who has read any tales of the red-headed Hyrkanian, it sounds like Sonja is exactly where she wants to be. The subsequent fights that she undertakes make it obvious that she is a woman on a mission.   Artist Joe Ng brings a manga look to Red Sonja but her chain-mail bikini remains a constant. This one-shot is a companion to the regular series from Dynamite Entertainment.
