'Legenderry: Red Sonja' which is set in Bill Willingham's Legenderry universe takes Red Sonja and sets her firmly in the Victorian/Steampunk era. I expected to not like it, and I actually enjoyed it.
Red Sonja has a ship and a crew and she finds herself in port. When she chances into a local bar for some fun, she ends up getting involved in an adventure that will take her on an adventure weaving through some famous fictional characters of the era, including Victor Frankenstein and an army of his undead henchmen. The journey takes her to a fortress run by Frankenstein and she finds an interesting ally. When her ship is sunk, she is picked up by an unusual invention and meets another famous character of the era. Even with new allies, the fight against Victor seems hopeless, but this is Red Sonja, and she's not afraid of a good fight.
It's a bit odd to see this character in a different era, but I think the story stays mostly true to her nature. There's not a lot of down time for drinking and carousing, but that gets implied at the beginning, then the story rockets forward and never really lets up. There are some good twists and turns along the way .
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Steampunk Red Sonja = Genius
Red Sonja. Victor Frankenstein. Captain Nemo.
I didn‰ЫЄt read the previous volume, but I don‰ЫЄt think it‰ЫЄs really necessary. This one is just a lot fun. It‰ЫЄs like popcorn at an action flick. There may not be a lot of depth, but there doesn‰ЫЄt need to be.
It‰ЫЄs light, and it‰ЫЄs a quick read, and Red Sonja kicks ass. What else do you need to know?
Recommended if you like your action light and fun. And you know what Red Sonja would say if you miss this?
Thanks to NetGalley, Diamond, and Dynamite Comics for a copy in return for an honest review.

I like Red Sonja. I feel like I might like her more if she wasn't in a "goggles and gears make EVERYTHING Steampunk" story.
