Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows are creating the comic book series Babs, as a Red Sonja satire of sword and sorcery. Issue #1 of the six-issue series from Ahoy Comics came out this week. Just in time for issue #2 to go to Final Order Cut-Off this weekend, ahead of publication on the 18th of September.

And previewing for Bleeding Cool two scenes from Babs #2 to set the scene, one in which a gang of goblins who have fallen foul of the blade of Babs, are weary of their lot. And it's all because, apparently, women have not been put in their rightful place in society, which would benefit from a little patriarchal order right now. Well at leat they are not on the internet.
