Rating: Teen+Publisher Description. After landing in jail following a night of drunken revelry, Red Sonja hears an outlandish story from a fellow inmate. Deep in the mountains lies a dead city in a valley with no name. Abandoned and forgotten, its fields and streets are littered with the bones of two armies, all destroyed by a curse from a warlock who has long since vanished, along with his vast treasure — untold riches just waiting to be taken.
At least that is the legend. But Sonja’s cellmate Morgo has more than a diverting tale — he’s also got a map that says this legend could well be reality. All they need to do is break out of lockup and hit the road — which may be easier said than done!
Crafted by legendary writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Simon Dark) and rising art star Alessandro Amoruso, Red Sonja: Empire of the Damned #1 delivers monsters, magic, and mayhem in equal measure — all wrapped up in sumptuous covers from Joshua Middleton, Joseph Michael Linsner, John Tyler Christopher, and cosplay by Rachel Hollon.

As the days turn into weeks, Sonja and her growing company move ever closer to their goal - but are her companions really who they appear to be?
The first Red Sonja tale penned by 30 Days of Night’s STEVE NILES takes flight in this spectacular second issue, featuring amazing interior art by ALESSANDRO AMORUSO and equally exciting covers from JOSHUA MIDDLETON, JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, PHILLIP TAN, and cosplay by RACHEL HOLLON!
