What is Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned about?
“After landing in jail following a night of drunken revelry, Red Sonja hears an outlandish story from a fellow inmate. Deep in the mountains lies a dead city in a valley with no name. Abandoned and forgotten, its fields and streets are littered with the bones of two armies, all destroyed by a curse from a warlock who has long since vanished, along with his vast treasure — untold riches just waiting to be taken,” an official synopsis for Empire of the Damned reads.
“At least that is the legend,” it continues. “But Sonja’s cellmate Morgo has more than a diverting tale — he’s also got a map that says this legend could well be reality. All they need to do is break out of lockup and hit the road — which may be easier said than done!” Dynamite further promises “monsters, magic, and mayhem in equal measure.”
Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned #1 goes on sale Wednesday, April 3 from Dynamite Entertainment.
