Stuart Sayger Retailer Incentive.

Label #25-404E300-005

Limited 1 for 20 Retailer Incentive Variant Cover. (W) Christopher Priest (A) Alessandro Miracolo (CA) Stuart Sayger Convinced she is either dreaming, hallucinating, or possibly dead, the recently reconstituted Red Sonja (formerly Maggie Sutherland, late of the UK) decides that her best shot at escaping her apparent nightmare is to simply permit the worst to happen. This places her young squire and ersatz teacher-slash-tour-guide Faolán at great risk, as it falls to him to wake Sonja up to the fact this is really happening before she succeeds at getting both of them killed! Master storyteller CHRISTOPHER PRIEST and acclaimed artist ALESSANDRO MIRACOLO turn up the heat on their all-new She-Devil With a Sword in Sonja Reborn #2 stoked by combustible covers from STJEPAN SEJIC, STUART SAYGER, CHAD HARDIN, GREG LAND, and cosplay by ANI-MIA! 32 pages, full color, rated teen. Cover price $4.99.
