"THE WARRIOR’S PATH! Denial, anger, bargaining, depression… Maggie Sutherland has worked her way through all the stages of grief and is finally ready to accept the harsh reality that she really is Red Sonja, and that if she is going to survive in the Hyborian Age she must rise to meet its challenges — and that means learning how to kill her enemies before they can kill her!"

Women Wednesday: Harley Quinn X Elvira #4 Covers

Harley Quinn X Elvira #4 comes out today from DC Comics and Dynamite. Once again, the main cover artists are Amanda Conner, Chad Hardin, Joseph Michael Linsner and Ben Caldwell. The interior art was done by Amanda Conner and Juan Samu. The story was written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. Here is the official summary:

"OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE! With things getting too hot to handle back in Brooklyn, Elvira and Harley abscond to the cooler climes of Transylvania to crash with one of Elvira’s best buddies in his tastefully appointed castle. But despite their reputation as old-school hedonists, the Count’s already-invited guests don’t much care for this pair of interlopers — and they’ve got some decidedly medieval ideas for how to deal with party crashers!"

Science Fiction Saturday: Star Trek: Lower Decks #15

IDW Publishing released Star Trek: Lower Decks #15 earlier this week. Brad Boimler is on the cover along with "Star Trek 60". I will admit that this is the first issue of this series that I have read but I greatly enjoyed the humor. I also have to admit that I have yet to watch the animated tv series on Paramount+. Here's the official summary:

"When Commander Jack Ransom promised Boimler command of the away team on Laapoonia in the event that both he and Sun-Sanchez — his Number One — were taken out of commission, he didn’t think it’d, like, actually happen. But now, Boimler is in charge, and things have gone full-blown Crisis Royale: A planet’s missing population, a big-ass alien warship, and a team at each other’s throats threaten to explosively end the Cerritos’ second-contact mission with Laapeeria. The name’s Boimler. Brad Boimler. And he’s got a license to… mildly delegate while panicking under pressure."

"A day of over-the-top carnage in a gladiator arena leads Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy directly into a strange, unfamiliar, bizarre situation: they actually have money! That’s good, right? Wrong—because it’s about to lead them down a dark, horrific road to the devastated wasteland of Mordynn."

Monster Monday: King Dracula #1 and #2

Here are the covers and summaries for King Dracula #1 and #2 from Zenescope Entertainment:

"Beneath the streets of New York, the notorious Lord of Vampires plots to regain his rightful place atop his kingdom. But much has changed during his absence...the Vampire Lords, a ruthless cabal of powerful elders, have staked their claim upon the world, and they have no fear of their former leader–or anyone else. As Dracula begins to claw his way back to the top, he finds an ally in the mysterious and deadly Blood Countess. But will she prove to be friend or foe?"

Cover of King Dracula #1 from Zenescope Entertainment

"Reinvigorated but still hunted, Dracula emerges from the sewers of New York City, ready to take back the world that was so ruthlessly stolen from him. But he realizes the Vampire Lords’ control has grown even deeper into the roots of society in his absence, and new dangers lurk at every turn. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so he seeks an unlikely ally who despises him more than any other...his daughter!"
