"Written by ERIC TRAUTMAN • Art by WALTER GEOVANI Covers by PAUL RENAUD (50%) & WALTER GEOVANI (50%) For centuries, Persemhia -- a tiny border kingdom of Shem - has faced down enemies from Koth, Argos, and Stygia.

You find the nearest tavern and drink a toast: 'To Absent Friends.' Red Sonja considers her next move after the deadly conflicts in Shem (issues #51-#54), but where there's a tavern, there's some drunken fool who starts a fight "

"(W) Eric Trautmann (A) Walter Geovanni (C) Paul Renaud, Walter Geovanni A new adventure begins! Following the deadly events in Shem, Red Sonja makes her way to Koth - and a family dispute between rival princes, all keen to seize the throne. And amid the intrigue and the skullduggery, assassins lurk: enemies, loyal to an old adversary that will stop at nothing until the She-Devil with a Sword is dead."

"Red Sonja's wanderings have brought her to Koth and a gathering blood feud amongst that kingdom's ruling families. With deception lurking in every shadow, and the fate of a nation at stake, what better place is there for a sword for hire?"

"Red Sonja's adventure in Khorshemish -- the opulant capital of Koth -- continues. Political and family intrigues have placed the She-Devil With A Sword between rival noble families, all intent on seizing the throne of Koth. On one side, the disgraced family of her slain enemy -- Cavvalus of Koth -- plots Sonja's destruction. On the other, Strabonus, Prince of the realm, and quite possibly insane. Amidst assassins, alchemists, and royal intrigue, Sonja discovers that not all wars are fought with swords."

"Written by ERIC TRAUTMANN • Art by WALTER GIOVANI Covers by FABIANO NEVES (50%) & WALTER GIOVANI (50%) Trapped between rival factions eager to seize the throne of Koth, Sonja discovers that there's more than shifting allegiances and court intrigues at work. Ancient alchemy and forgotten sciences may be more powerful than even Red Sonja's blades."

"(W) Eric Trautmann (A) Patrick Berkenkotter (C) Fabiano Neves (50%), Walter Geovani (50%) Khorshemish - the seat of power of the mighty nation of Koth - mourns the passing of its aged King, and Red Sonja wants nothing more than to put the kingdom behind her. Embroiled in palace intrigues, assassination and ancient magicks, it's almost too much for a pay-soldier to take. But now, a new ruler ascends to the throne, and his rise to power could spell war for all the Hyborian kingdoms. And in the chaos, old enemies are bent on settling bloody scores with the She-Devil with a Sword EXTRA SIZED ANNIVERSARY ISSUE featuring 28 pages or original story as well as reprints of Sonja's early adventures!"

"(W) Eric Trautmann (A) Walter Geovani (C) Walter Geovani (50%), Wagner Reis (50%) Red Sonja's travels have brought her to Kheshatta, the fabled City of Magicians, searching for a means to locate and destroy an ancient weapon that carries a terrible price. But there are enemies a-plenty in her path, all intent on ending Sonja's saga in sand and blood."

"(W) Eric Trautmann (A) Walter Geovani (C) Walter Geovani (50%), Wagner Reis (50%) There are countless secrets buried in the time-lost sands of Stygia, a land of dark magic and powerful gods...and it will take all of Red Sonja's skill and daring to avoid being buried with them. The She-Devil With A Sword has faced numerous foes and bested them all, but now she faces her toughest enemy yet: the consequences of her past actions. Traveling to a hidden fortress deep in the Stygian desert, she faces a cabal of zealots and the kin of a fallen enemy. Her goal: a long-hidden weapon of terrible destructive power, which may also be the key to Red Sonja's redemption...

"Covers: Walter Geovani (50%), John Watson (50%) Writer: Eric Trautmann Artist: Walter Geovani The final, bloody showdown over the cursed Horn of Nergal is at hand! To stand fast against an army of Stygian assassins, and the sinister machinations of the Priestess Azanathi, will require all of Red Sonja's considerable skill. But is the She-Devil's martial prowess enough to win the day, and perhaps, a measure of redemption, or will the Horn's curse cost Sonja everything? "

"A sword for hire. A client with ready cash. A world full of adventure and possibility. What could possibly go wrong? If Red Sonja's history is any indication, plenty. A new chapter begins for the She-Devil with a Sword."

"Covers: Walter Geovani (50%), Fabiano Neves (50%) Writer: Eric Trautmann Artist: Walter Geovani Khitai, the kingdom of jade. A land of rigid honor codes, and fanatical warriors loyal to their god-emperor. Where better for Red Sonja to ply her trade than a nation of master swordsmen? "

"There are old scores to settle, and new threats on the horizon as the She-Devil with a Sword carves a bloody swath across the Hyborian kingdoms. This time, Red Sonja's travels have brought her full circle, back to her native Hyrkania, where an ancient feud once again blazes to life."

"The She-Devil With A Sword keeps the home fires burning... literally. An ancient feud in Red Sonja's native Hyrkania has flared back to life, and awakened old animosities, and a growing, deadly evil. To stem the rising tide of bloodshed will take all of Red Sonja's skill and daring... and the help of an old ally. But is his return an omen of victory... or death?"

"A time-lost, crumbling ruin, a centuries old blood feud, and old enemies and allies colliding on the crimson-stained ground of Hyrkania's most storied battlefield. Add Red Sonja to the mix and you have a recipe for sharp-edged savagery."

"On the snowy steppes of Hyrkania, Red Sonja faces off against an army bent on crushing her homeland. Old scores are settled, alliances are broken, and rest assured, with the She-Devil With A Sword entering the fray, blood will surely flow."

"THE CRIMSON WELL: Part 1 (of 6)-The She-Devil has been suspiciously absent for nearly a full season. There are many rumors and tall tales surrounding her disappearance, but the truth of the matter is far more outlandish, and terrifying, than any tavern story. Following the PROPHECY event, Red Sonja has placed herself in exile, desperately hoping to protect the world from the demonic influence that threatens to consume her very soul."

"THE CRIMSON WELL: Part 4 (of 6)-Our tale began on the 8th day following Red Sonja's return from a long absence. The events of the first 7 days have remained a mystery, even to Sonja herself...until now. Now, the terrifying truth will be revealed...but Sonja may wish that those memories (and some other nasty things) had stayed buried forever!"
