Red Sonja and Rat Queens.

It seems as though I am faced with an ongoing inflow of new reading material every week, and the continued burden of this accumulating madness can lead to an unhealthy, impulsive, compelling, obsession of collecting the volumes needed to complete the concluded series or to supplement the unended anecdotes. Manic episode perhaps? It would be reasonable to infer that I've simply gone mad like a Lovecraftian archetype.... I need a bigger bookshelf.

 

Here's what's new to my table:

 

Red Sonja Volume 1: Queen of the Plagues

-Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey) gives the iconic fantasy heroine a fresh new attitude! Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword, intends to pay back a blood debt owed to the one man who has gained her respect... even if it means leading a doomed army to their certain deaths! Who is Dark Annisia, and how has this fearsome warrior accomplished what no god nor demon has been able to do: force Sonja to her knees in surrender? An epic tale of blood, lust, and vengeance, Queen of the Plagues takes Red Sonja from the depths of her own grave to the heights of battlefield glory. Featuring Gail Simone's Red Sonja # 1 script!

 

Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass and Sorcery

-Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they’re in the business of killing all god’s creatures for profit. It’s also a darkly comedic sass-and-sorcery series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief. This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that is like Buffy meets Tank Girl in a Lord of the Rings world on crack!
