The penultimate issue of my (good grief) twenty-five issue run on Dynamite Entertainment's Red Sonja arrives in stores tomorrow. I've had an unreasonably good time penning Sonja's last couple years' worth of adventures. Hope you have, too. 

RED SONJA #74

Cover by: Walter Geovani

An ancient land, a centuries old blood feud, and old enemies and allies colliding on the crimson-stained ground of Hyrkania's most storied battlefield. Add Red Sonja to the mix and you have a recipe for sharp-edged savagery...

FROST: ROGUE STATE #0

Created by Brandon Jerwa & Eric Trautmann (writers) and Giovanni Timpano (illustrator)

Colors by Andrea Celestini

Letters by Simon Bowland

Meet FROST. His name is spoken in whispers from deep within the American intelligence community--a cypher, a walking secret, and the ultimate weapon against global terror. In the far-flung fields of battle against America's enemies--a world where those who would protect us from harm must often trade in violence, deception and betrayal--there are those who strike a deadly balance between order and chaos. In this struggle, information and secrecy are as lethal as the gun, and where the ultimate practitioners of the military arts engage the enemy in the shadows...

Issue 0 is a free six-page prologue to "Rogue State," but also includes six additional pages of background material and teaser art. Each subsequent issue will be a minimum of 16 pages of story, plus 3–10 pages of "backmatter," all for a mere $.99!

To grab a copy of the free preview issue, visit ComiXology here.
