I've read a bunch of 'Red Sonja' comics by now. Well, maybe not that many, as it seems there are hundreds to choose from, and I've only gotten into them in a short space of time, but I think I know enough to know what to expect from them; what their types, formulas, and standards/criteria are. Some, be they standalone tales or first volumes, are okay, even solid, but some others are just tasteless, edgelordy, dense, overwhelming, frustrating, and surprisingly overly-political and pretentious ...
