Red Sonja (2005) #4 Review

"Tide Turns"

Writers: Michael Avon Oeming and Mike Carey

Artist: Mel Rubi

Colorists: Richard Isanove, Michael Kelleher, and Caesar Rodriguez

Letterer: Richard Starkings

Cover: Marc Silvestri, Joe Weems, and Steve Firchow

The world-building in this series is just something to marvel at.

What would normally be considered a downtime issue, is used to give these characters some depth by interacting with each other. I love how Oeming used the "man can't sleep with her unless they best her in battle" as more of a legend than outright truth, with Sonja's characterization being the most consistent. Osin is really a character that's starting to grow on me in these past couple of issues. Like I said earlier, there's a certain depth to his character that makes him more than a one-off sidekick for Sonja. The artwork yet again by Mel Rubi is especially gorgeous to look at. My favorite sequence has to be the fight in the castle. The action flows very nicely from one panel to the other. I can't wait to read the next issue!
