With the 40th anniversay of Red Sonja coming up Dynamite Entertainment ,currently enjoying massive exposure thanks to the relaunch of their most well known title with new writer Gail Simone, have revealed plans for a new mini series Red Sonja: Legends written by a team of female writers.
Gail Simone had this to say,
‘The idea just took off, as some of my artistic heroes, people like Colleen Doran, Amanda Conner, and Nicola Scott all contributed these gorgeous, eye-popping pieces of art for the book. It made everyone tremendously happy and gave us a wonderful extra kick for our relaunch of this classic character. So when Dynamite told me that the 40th anniversary of Red Sonja was coming up, I thought, I wonder if we could do the same thing, but with all my favorite female writers?’
Devin Grayson, Marjorie M. Liu, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Blair Butler, Rhianna Pratchett, Leah Moore, Tamora Pierce, Nancy Collins, Meljean Brook, Nicola Scott, Mercedes Lackey are all set to contribute.
