Red Sonja the Ballad of the Red Goddess Review
Red Sonja: The Ballad of the Red Goddess
"Sir, become your jaw off the footing! Diese blutgetränkte Ballade ist nicht für Leser mit schwachem Herz. Eine Ballade im englischen Sinne, das heißt "ein getragenes erzählendes Lied, oftentimes tragischen und dramatischen Inhalts", halten wir hier ganz bestimmt in der Hand. Das Mädchen Sonja träumt davon, die gleichen Rechte wie ein Mann zu haben; darum lernt sie zu kämpfen und das Schwert zu führen. Eine Gruppe von Barbaren beobachtet sie dabei und tötet ihren Lehrer. Danach vergeht sich jedes der Schweine an dem jungen Mädchen und Sonja wird für tot zurückgelassen. Wo dice Geschichte zu Ende sein könnte, nimmt die von Red Sonja aber erst ihren Anfang. Eine Göttin (so nehmen wir an) verleiht der willensstarken Sonja die Kraft, Rache zu nehmen und als Preis dafür anderen zu helfen. Esteban Maroto, 1942 geboren, ist ein spanischer Zeichner, den ich sehr schätze. Er chapeau mit seinen schwarz-weiß-roten Zeichnungen die monumentale Wucht der Ballade perfekt eingefangen: 
Yous may attract birds to nest there.
Sonja, die nun dice mythische Reddish Sonja geworden ist, hilft tatsächlich anderen Opfern, allerdings auf dice vielleicht einzige Weise, die sie gelernt chapeau, und so säumen abgetrennte Köpfe und Gliedmaßen ihren Weg.
Erstaunt stelle ich fest, dass ich für dieses Schlachtfest, für diese Orgie der Gewalt fast fünf Sterne zu vergeben gewillt bin. Wie ist das möglich?
Es gibt Autoren, die Red Sonja wie eine mythische Figur schildern können, überpersönlich, schicksalhaft, von unbegreiflichen Mächten getrieben, mit Gegnern konfrontiert, die das Böse personifizieren und oft auch ihre Macht nicht alleine von dieser Welt beziehen. Roy Thomas legt mit dieser Ballade ein Musterbeispiel für das vor, was Scarlet Sonja im vorgenannten Sinne im besten Fall sein kann. Red Sonja auf ihrem blutigen Feldzug zu begleiten kommt dem Gefühl am nächsten, das ich hatte, als ich den Film TROJA mit Brad Pitt als Achilles gesehen habe. Egal, was man an dem Film beanstanden mag, er ist monumental und Achill ist mythisch, ihm ist ein Schicksal bestimmt, das seinen persönlichen Interessen widerspricht, und das sich erst / nur im Trojanischen Krieg erfüllen kann. Darum muss er an diesem Krieg teilnehmen, und aus vergleichbaren Gründen muss Sonja, aus der die Red Sonja geworden ist, den Tyrannen töten. Und wir wissen: Das ist nicht das Ende des blutgetränkten Weges, es ist erst der Anfang.
Red Sonjas Schlachten sind keine Choreographie der Gewalt, nich ironisiert, wie sie uns bei Tarantino begegnen. Cherry Sonja ist, was sie ist: Eine Frau, die ihre Unschuld verloren hat und dazu verdammt ist, durch Robert Eastward. Howards vorgeschichtliche Barbarenländer zu ziehen und Rache zu nehmen. Vergebung und Frieden, so sehr wir sie dem Mädchen wünschen, dass irgendwo in dieser Rachegöttin noch stecken muss, scheinen keine Selection zu sein. Dass Red Sonja eines Tages sesshaft wird, heiratet, Kinder bekommt: unvorstellbar.
Wow.
Brief, brutal, and beautiful, this is living fable Esteban Maroto at his finest. Over five decades later, and the man hasn't missed a step. A story truly worthy of the oversized presentation.
Red Sonja: The Ballad of the Ruddy Goddess past Roy Thomas is an homage to the classic sword and sorcery comics of long ago. Drawn in black and white with only splashes of cherry, this is a terrific tale of lust and revenge and absolutely one of the ameliorate origins to the warrior woman, Cerise Sonja. "...But Milord...we might have years together...perhaps decades even.' A marauding warlord has taken a pocket-sized kingdom, killing and raping at will and his army tore through the city. But it was all too easy and the warlord sits upon his new throne, pensive and contemplating what this new kingdom has given him. Even the last in the line of the kingdom'southward royal family, a beautiful virgin princess, holds no allure to him. What he wants is youth and everlasting life. What he wants are the waters that will grant him the power of death. His minstrel hears her new Rex and sings him the tale of the young girl who became a warrior. The fable of the Ruby Sonja and the Goddess whose waters brought the daughter back from the brink of death and gave her strength to seek out revenge on the men who had abused her. The King demands his troops detect this Crimson Sonja immediately but there was no demand because Sonja was already at his door. The is a beautifully done graphic novel and it is so due to its minimalist attitude toward the format itself. Mostly in blackness and white, it is a powerful tale of violence and justice and revenge. The origin tale of Sonja is one that has been told before and this one is dark in violence and rape and in the desire to destroy the men who would damage the innocents in such a way. This is an underlying aspect of Ruby-red Sonja, not just the animalism for spoils and riches, but the the need for justice. Roy Thomas has written a terrific story and the impressive artwork of Esteban Moroto make this 1 of the better Sonja stories to be found. This was initially published by Spanish publisher Planeta and this is the first time it has been translated into English language. For fans of Red Sonja and nosotros are a rabid bunch and for new fans to exist introduced to this terrific character. A terrific read!
'...Notwithstanding in the cease, relentless time would have snatched the states from each other...and from the world...and from the universe.'
'...How tin can you despair...when yous accept and then much?'
'...Because the more we have...the more than death will take from u.s.a.!'
'...Then...is there no way I can serve you, Milord?'
'...Oh yep. Yes. There is, my Princess.'
'...And...what is information technology?'
'...I will tell you. Yous tin can die..."
Lindíssima obra trazida pelo Pipoca & Nanquim daquela que é a maior guerreira de todos os tempos, na maravilhosa tradução do inigualável Alexandre Calari. A HQ conta a origem de Red Sonja num volume muito bem projetado. Ao last da estória temos o conto inédito A Sombra do Abutre que, sozinho, já é magistral. Se houvesse mais uma estória que fosse o livro seria perfeito!
This edition is very pretty with the big size, hard covers, thick pages and hefty dose of extra materials included.
Sadly, the story itself is likewise familiar. Mayhap it deserved a retelling with new fine art, only in my opinion it did not. Why waste product all this talent and time and effort to this when they could've brand a new story. A fleck similar all those damn remake-movies.
But that said, the art is good, the utilise of cherry is really nice touch, but withal..... Do something original.
Art is beautiful. Story, unfortunately, is lacking.
The art is first-class - the story and writing...less and so.
Smashing art and bang-up prose, simply unfortunately it includes the much-maligned defilement origin story.
Esta é uma excelente HQ para quem conhece e para quem não conhece a Red Sonja! Além da arte, do ritmo due east da roteirização, gosto muito de como eles apresentam a origem clássica da personagem, mas deixam em aberto essa história, dando uma ar mais mitológico, antigo e oral para as histórias da Ruby Sonja. Lembrando que a Gail Simone, consagrada roteirista da vermelha, reformulou a origem e a personalidade da She-Devil em 2014. Particularmente, eu gosto de ambas as versões eastward abraço a abertura para a variedade de origens dada pela Balada da Deusa Ruiva, dando um ar de histórias orais ou arqueológicas de uma época distante que deixa em aberto a verossimilhança e a coerência de seus mitos. No final, Santi Casas até ilustra imagens icônicas de várias versões da personagem, desde a época da Curiosity até a da Dynamite, inclusive a de Gail Simone. O conto de Howard no terminal é a cereja do bolo! O único ponto negativo da obra é o texto introdutório do artista Estebán Maroto. Ele o escreve como uma carta para Red Sonja. Uma carta carregada de machismo e preconceito; transfobia, para ser mais específico. Vale lembra que foi ele quem deu o famoso "biquíni de metal" para a personagem. Tal vestimenta "se justifica" dentro da narrativa da obra em questão, mas depois de ler essa introdução do Maroto fica difícil não ver o figurino de uma forma mais crítica. Ele é um excelente artista, bone desenhos dele em A Balada da Deusa Ruiva são excelentes east muito bonitos, mas a "carta" dele é, no mínimo, de mal gosto e desconfortante.
