Sonya believes that when she rescued a woman from a wolf in the forest, she saved her life. But the woman is never safe thanks to her deal with the demanding boy who lives at the top of the beanstalk. Sonya decides to change the town’s arrangements and take care of the Beanstalk residents forever.
The story itself, written by Jordan Clarke, cleverly incorporates elements primarily from Jack and the Beanstalk, but also references several other fairy tales.
Andres Labrada’s expressive art keeps the tone light and inviting, but isn’t afraid to lean into the grotesque when necessary.
I really enjoyed this one-shot, but it got really frustrating when the last section of the page was just a series of double-page ad spreads that made it feel like the story continued beyond the pages it actually ended.
Still, that’s a minor complaint for a fun one-off comic that requires absolutely no prior knowledge to enjoy.
Thanks to Empire Comic in Portsmouth. So I found Red Sonja: Fairy Tales at a very cheap price.
