Red Sonja #16

As both Kulan Garth and Erlick separately search for her leaving valleys of bodies in their wake, Red Sonja heads through the wetlands into the mountains with Unnar, and with the warrior Atali on her heels. Despite death taking a grip on her, Sonja continues along fighting her own visions (which she discovers the ability to alter), Kulan Garth’s shadows, and giant monsters standing in the way of her path to the Afterworld.

Ending in yet another cliffhanger with Sonja at the mercy of one of the many enemies gunning for her, Red Sonja #16 continues the long-running arc that still feels very far from a conclusion. The issue gives us the the grotesque (but ultimately not that hard to kill) monster, Sonja discovering she can alter (at least in part) the future that she sees, and Sonja eventually succumbing to the darkness after outracing it as far as she could.
