United across time and space by an enemy who seems to have the power to breach those same boundaries, The Lord of The Jungle and The She-Devil With A Sword form an uneasy alliance... though this is not the first time the two have crossed paths, though neither remembers the first time they met and came to blows...
Again, real life had gotten in the way of my reviewing this wonderful little mini-series, sure to appeal to fans of both
Red Sonja and
Tarzan. Gail Simone's script captures the essence of both characters perfectly. This is unsurprising, given Simone's long association with Sonja after 18 issues of the monthly comic and the
Swords of Sorrow event, which gave her ample opportunity to indulge her obvious love of pulp fiction. Hopefully we'll get to see Jane in action by this series' end as well.
Walter Geovani proves the perfect partner in this. Again, this is unsurprising, given Geovani's long history of drawing
Red Sonja and other pulp works for Dynamite Entertainment. Attention must also be paid to the colors of Adriano Augusto and the letters of Simon Bowland, which are equally amazing. Again, I say it - this is a wonderful series, sure to appeal to fans of both
Red Sonja and
Tarzan as well as anyone who enjoys a ripping yarn.
The Final Analysis: 8 out of 10. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that is their loss.
