Red Sonja number one variant covers
I picked up the first issue of Red Sonja this past week ( The Peacock cover ) while I was in the store I noticed they had all the variant covers. I wanted to purchase them all...after all they are brand new comics...so I grabbed each one and approached the counter. They even had the b/w variants of the covers so I picked them too. The guy rings them up and the bill came to over 300 bucks...I was like WHOAHHH DUDE!!! 300 bucks? He says " Yeah the variant covers are all 25 dollars each. " I said " Ok you're crazy and thats a rip...I'll just take this one. " ( The peacock cover is the newstand edition ) paid cover price and walked out. What a creep...the nerve of him 25 each for brand new comics. At most those comics could be marked up to 5 bucks each but 25? What is this ebay? Anyway I can't divulge the name of the store because I don't want to get sued...BUT I can tell you they are directly across the street from an Ice cream confectioner and MUGSY McGEE'S corner pub. In Massapequa NY. Anyway...here are some of the variants by...Nicola Scott, Colleen Doran, Jenny Frison, Stephanie Buscema, Fiona Staples, and Amanda Conner...enjoy

Sonya with Sword by ~PaulAbrams on deviantART
So why do I like Deviant Art? Well it gives new artists (and some old hands at it) a chance to get seen and by using their share feature if an artist doesn't want their art on a site then they can remove it on their own.

LEGENDS OF RED SONJA
Official
Press Release
Following
on the immense success of the newly launched Red Sonja ongoing series by Gail
Simone, Dynamite proudly announces the upcoming Legends of Red Sonja prestige
miniseries, an extravaganza celebrating the iconic fantasy heroine's long and
storied career. Legends of Red Sonja is a collaborative effort uniting
Simone with a star-studded and prestigious creative team including , Marjorie
M. Liu, Mercedes Lackey, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Rhianna Pratchett, Leah Moore,
Tamora Pierce, Blair Butler, Nancy Collins, Meljean Brook, Nicola Scott, Devin
Grayson and more to be announced. Frank Thorne, one of the key artists
responsible for defining the character's distinct look, will be among the
artists to contribute cover artwork, as will Jay Anacleto.
"When
it was first decided that I would be taking part in the relaunch of Red Sonja,
we had what I thought was a very fun idea, which was to have all the covers and
variant covers be drawn by top female artists," says Gail Simone, an
industry legend with celebrated runs on Birds of Prey, Secret Six, and Batgirl.
"The idea just took off, as some of my artistic heroes, people like
Colleen Doran, Amanda Conner, and Nicola Scott all contributed these gorgeous,
eye-popping pieces of art for the book. It made everyone tremendously
happy and gave us a wonderful extra kick for our relaunch of this classic
character. So when Dynamite told me that the 40th anniversary of Red
Sonja was coming up, I thought, 'I wonder if we could do the same thing, but
with all my favorite female writers?' I can't tell you how exciting this
is for me, it's something I've wanted to do for years."
The
structure of the Legends of Red Sonja prestige series will be, in Simone's
words, "a braided story, with individual, unique stories written by titans
of comics, prose, and the gaming world. These are all powerful voices
whose work I adore. Dynamite asked me to make a list of the women I'd
love to see included, and again, I was astounded at the eager responses!
We have giants of the fantasy and horror prose world; Tamora Pierce,
Nancy Collins, and Meljean Brook. We have some of the hottest comics talents;
Marjorie M. Liu, Mercedes Lackey, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Leah Moore, Devin
Grayson and (in her first published story as a writer) Nicola Scott. And
we have brilliant writers from games and television; Rhianna Pratchett and
Blair Butler. Getting to hand-pick this crew of fierce women was an
absolute joy, and the fun of it is, we're all fans of Red Sonja, and of each
other. Throwing ideas back and forth and shaping the stories has been
some of the most fun I've ever had in comics. I can't wait for people to
read these takes on Red Sonja...some are funny, some are scary, some are very
different versions of Sonja than we are familiar with!"
Many of
Gail Simone's hand-picked contributors have shared their excitement about the
project:
Rhianna
Pratchett (Heavenly Sword, Mirror's Edge): "I treasured my Red Sonja
poster when I was kid. So to get the opportunity to write a story for the
character, and to do it in the company of such extraordinary, talented women,
is a dream come true. My younger self is definitely high-fiving my older
self."
Leah
Moore (Doctor Who: The Whispering Gallery, Sherlock Holmes: The Liverpool
Demon): "It's not everyday that Gail Simone asks me to write Red
Sonja. To be honest, I'm glad, because when it happened, I had to be
peeled off the ceiling. Writing Red Sonja has been a personal ambition of
mine for a long time. She is about the most fun a writer can have.
She's a loner, a grouch, a badass, and is apparently impervious to cold.
I am almost too excited about this project to actually write the thing,
which is counter-productive, really."
Tamora
Pierce (The Song of the Lioness, Mastiff): "This is the coolest project
ever: new stories crafted by some of the best writers and artists out there,
about a woman warrior created by one of my literary idols, Robert E. Howard,
spearheaded by my comics goddess, Gail Simone. I'm honored to be a part
of this, and can't wait to see the whole thing. It will be a
ground-breaking, multilayered view of a character who has been brawling through
comics for decades!"
Blair
Butler (Heart, host of MSN's Nerdcore): "I'm honored and exceedingly
intimidated to be included in this group of talented creators. Gail
Simone is amazing -- and her take on Red Sonja is something I've been looking
forward to since it was announced way back at Emerald City Comic-Con. So
when she asked me to contribute, I agreed immediately, even though I'm totally
nervous about it."
Nancy
Collins (Swamp Thing, VAMPS): "I am thrilled to have been chosen by
Gail Simone to participate in Legends of Red Sonja. I remember how
excited I was when I plucked Conan the Barbarian #23 off the spinner rack as a
kid, all those years ago, and finally saw a female hero capable of dishing it
out with the best of them. I am honored to have been given this chance to
add to Red Sonja's mythos."
Meljean
Brook (Iron Seas, Demon Angel): "I'm absolutely thrilled to be
writing a story for the she-devil, Red Sonja. I first encountered Red
Sonja in the movie with Nielsen and Schwarzenegger when I was about eight years
old -- and I know that movie isn't without its problems, but it's almost
impossible to describe how incredible it was to watch a film in which the
heroine was just as strong and as tough as the muscle-bound hero. I loved
that she was arrogant, skilled, and never wimped out or waited for rescue, and
I immediately went out in search of similar stories about her. Red Sonja
was a revelation to eight-year-old me, and I can trace many of the heroines I
write today back to those roots."
"Wow.
Gail and the editorial team at Dynamite have put together an incredible
team of creators - a prestigious and impressive list - on a series that
celebrates one of the strongest female characters in comics. I can say,
that they have done an incredible job together, and I thank them."
States Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci.
Sounds nifty.
