Red Sonja #23
In "The Long Way Home Part 2," Red Sonja survives a brutal abandonment by ghost pirates, clinging to life as she plunges into the depths. With Suumaro sacrificing himself to grant her the power to breathe underwater, she battles relentless sea horrors before awakening an ancient, slumbering whale god tied to the pirates’ cursed fate. Written by Michael Avon Oeming and illustrated by Homs, with colors by Vinicius Andrade and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, this issue blends visceral survival with mythic mystery. The cover by Stephen Segovia captures the haunting intensity of Sonja’s descent into the abyss.
