Red Sonja fan art - by Mikeyboy

Just sharing a little sketch journal drawing of mine.  We encourage any followers of this blog to submit fan art...we will share it.  Ps...sorry about the weird cropping it's from a cell phone shot from out of my sketch journal.

Alisa Kiss inspired Sonja

Alisa Kiss is an awesomely cool cosplayer.  While I think her Supergirl is one of her best, she still does a kick-ass Sonja.

Here she is, with some inspired art.

Gail Simone on Red Sonja #1

From: http://robojapan.blogspot.com/2013/03/gail-simone-to-wield-red-sonjas-sword.html
and http://www.wired.com/geekmom/2013/03/red-sonja-gail-simone/
and http://www.comicsalliance.com/2013/03/01/red-sonja-gail-simone-dynamite-comics-emerald-city-2013-fiona-staples/

Gail Simone, one of the biggest names in comics right now, is taking up the sword and mail bikini of Red Sonja in a new Red Sonja #1.
In addition cover art will be done by Fiona Staples, Nicola Scott, Colleen Doran, Jenny Frisson, and Stephanie Buscem

Here is Fiona Staples art for Issue #1.

According to Simone:

"It's like this...even most of the best female heroines when I was a kid were pretty polite. What I love about Sonja is that she isn't polite, she says what she means and if you give her any lip about it, hello, sword in the gut. She's smart, she has a heart, she has some compassion. But when it's go time, she's a hellraiser, a mad general, she's a sword edge virtuosa, she's death on wheels. She is the woman you never want to mess with. I can relate, Sonja. No offense to all her guy writers, but THIS Red Sonja is about sex and swords! It's everything you love about Red Sonja, except with more monsters getting stabbed in the eye."

Red Sonia #1 is out in July.

The strike
in the winter storm there is all ways a fight get your mind sword shield and grit your teeth
because  here it comes be Ready .

Sonja sighting!

I've never been a fan of the Doonesbury comic strip. It's too heavy on politics and too light on humor. I usually don't even bother looking at the strip as I peruse my Sunday morning funnies. But I did for some reason today. And what to my wondering eye should I see, but a reference to Sonja, if only too brief!

And then, later in the day, I received an email from one of many Yahoo groups I subscribe to, and learned of a Budd Root rendition of Red Sonja that's up for sale on the ComicArtFans web site. Budd Root is most well-know for his impossibly well-endowed Cavewoman artwork (which is rumored to be based on his wife, so maybe it's not so impossible after all). Alas, the artwork is far, far out my my price range.

I'd love to make a mention of Dynamite's Sonja books that are accumulating on my reading shelf, but I'm so far behind that the only book I've read in the past few months has been that Dynamite crossover thing, Prophecy. There have been some amazing Sonja covers (in the Queen Sonja series, especially) that are definitely worth a mention, but that's a post for another night...

Beautifully RED piece by ENRIC

Someone shared this on facebook as artist unknown.  So I forwarded the pic to Mighty Joe ( Jusko ) and inquired " Who painted this masterpiece?"  Well he answered immediately " It's by Enric."  There...so now we know.  Thank you Joe,Thank you Enric and thank you to the facebook poster for sharing.  Enjoy.  :)
