Killing Red Sonja #1 is in stores tomorrow. Well, it was supposed to be in stores tomorrow. It might already be in stores today. Or your store may be closed. It's chaos thanks to the industry shutdown and nobody knows what will happen. But while this doesn't look good for anyone in the comics industry, […]

By this time tomorrow, the United States will likely know where it stands in terms of the next presidential election.

Or will a vast conspiracy once again subvert the […]

Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica has been a hit, so much so that before even three issues were published, the series was extended from a six-issue mini-series to a twelve-issue miniseries. The success isn't surprising when one considers the appeal to at least three fanbases. But now, fans of the classic Archie […]
Today's Savage Avengers Annual sees Conan The Barbarian continue his travels across the Marvel Universe, meeting its superheroes along the way.

Thanks to Bleeding Cool reader, Walter Lawson, for spotting this one. Picking up a copy of Red Sonja Birth of She-Devil #4… …and, as he tells me, noticing that the cover by Lucio Parrillo looked oddly familiar. And recognised an older photo of cosplayer and adult model Vera Bambi. Here's an interstitial… Separated At Birth […]

To say that people were not exactly thrilled when it was announced that Bryan Singer was going to direct the Red Sonja movie. It wasn't that surprising that the production never seemed to get off of the ground. Singer's name and reputation could potentially poison the entire movie before they even started pre-production.

This week, while Conan pops up in Savage Avengers, a superheroic take on the role of the character, so his paramour Red Sonja […]

Woe to the film studio *cough* Millennium Films *cough* who decided having Bryan Singer direct a new version of Red Sonja was a good idea. Seriously, why in the WORLD would you pick Singer, who was fired from the now multi Oscar-winning Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and is responsible for some of the weakest superhero adaptation […]
