Red Sonja
Comments(0) | |
IMDB rating: 4.30 Plot: After her family is murdered a young woman named Red Sonja becomes a master of the sword and seeks revenge on the evil queen responsible for the mayhem that has befallen her. Also, it seems the queen has stolen a powerful, carefully guarded, glowing orb right before it was meant to be destroyed, one that has powers of its’ own, allowing for the possessor to control elemental forces and call down storms and earthquakes, if they so wish. Kalidor, one of the individuals in place to oversee the destruction of the orb, joins forces with Red Sonja, as their paths may differ, but they ultimately lead to the same place. An impudent, young prince named Tarn and his guard/manservant Falkon, whose kingdom was unceremoniously wiped out by Gerden as a test for her newfound powers, soon joins them. |

Do U Know Of These Comic Book Heroines & Amazons?
Hello Folks:
I am an avid book reader. My favorite genres of comics, manga and novels are science fiction (especially stuff dealing with robots and aliens), fantasy and horror. Secondarily, I like superhero action, historical (Yes, there are some comics that deal with history.), Westerns and even romance. Lately, I have been getting into comic issues that feature strong warrior women fighting aliens, monsters and animals.
To start off, I have seen plenty of stuff featuring She-Hulk, Supergirl and Wonder Woman fighting all types of non-Human creatures. Is there anything featuring the SHE-THING (the Thing’s counterpart) fighting off any creatures, too? Also, I have seen some stuff featuring Cavewoman (from http://www.basementcomics.com ), Kageena (She’s an old school jungle queen. Does anyone have any stuff featuring her?), Tarzana (I’m looking for stuff about her as well.), Lorna the Jungle Queen, Jungle Girl (from http://aroscoe.net/rpn/?p=1132 or http://www.dynamiteentertainment.com ) and Jana of the Jungle (She was an animated jungle warriorette from the 1980s, created from then Hanna-Barbera. Does anyone know if she ever fought any animals in any way?) I also like medieval female warriors such as Sojourn (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sojourn ), Queen/Red Sonja (from http://www.dynamiteentertainment.com ) and Avengelyne (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengelyne ).
Also, just recently, I just bought a giant-size comic issue of GRIMM FAIRY TALES (from http://www.zenescope.com ) which feautured a red-haired chick with a sword (not Red Sonja or that other lady on the HEAVENLY SWORD video game) fighting a dragon as well as an assortment of two-legged monsters. She was going at them harder and faster than the men around her were, too (no pun intended). I never thought that the people behind these fairy tales would also put out something featuring an amazon warriorette fighting some monsters. Sometimes you can never be too sure of things, can you?
If anyone has any more stuff dealing with matches between these or other heroines/amazons and non-Human creatures such as aliens, monsters and/or animals, then please feel free to drop me a line. Thank you very much for your help.

You basically named everything I know. You could check out Lara Croft’s comic series. Admittedly, I haven’t read it.

How about Atalanta, a heroine from Greek myth. There is a book on Amazon featuring four stories, two of Hercules and two featuring Atalanta, with a short Atalanta comic in the middle of the book. The title is "Heroes of Ancient Greece", and is by three authors, and an artist. The stories feature robots, monsters, and aliens, with lots of action. And a nice cover.
