All the multiverses of all the franchises continue to spread like wildfire this year. It’s like every superhero and genre sensation have a new way to change their stars. The next is Red Sonja, who is headed to her fifty-year anniversary in 2023. Thanks to the world-altering events of Sonjaversal, Sonja turns to historical Japanese culture and lore in the pages of this summer’s Samurai Sonja. Enter the Sengoku period of Japanese history in a time of near-constant war. A new Sonja rises as the daughter of a slain samurai who takes on his sword and sets out to prove herself worthy of her family’s legacy.
