Review of new Red Sonja book: "I get a real Cerebus vibe from this. Red Sonja seems to have his voice in places… such as the drunkenness, the desire for an easy life and the rage within. Also, those around her seem to treat her in a most peculiar fashion, as if she were an Earth pig." http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/05/22/red-sonja-1/
