Dynamite has announced a new series starring the she-devil Red Sonja in Red Sonja: Death and the Devil, acting as the sequel to Birth of a She Devil that was first released in June 2019. Written by Luke Lieberman and illustrated by Alberto Locatelli (Vampirella: Dead Flowers), the first volume is looking for a release window of September 2024.
“For some reason we just take it as a given that the hero kills the villain and then it’s happily ever after,” Lieberman remarked. “That’s not how the world works. There are always unintended consequences to battles and wars, personal or global. They are never clean or wrapped up with a bow, and if you take a life, you are responsible for whatever flows out of that action.”

The synopsis of Red Sonja: Death and the Devil is as follows:
After she killed the Sultan of Turan in Birth of a She Devil, the kingdom dissolved into a bloody chaos of serpent cults and rival warlords vying to claim the throne. Sonja knows the bloodshed and collapse into anarchy is her fault, so she returns to find the Sultan’s true heir. At least that is the plan…
The first issue of Red Sonja: Death and the Devil releases in September 2024 and will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ July 2024 Previews catalog.
