Red Sonja has evolved from obscurity to becoming a multiverse character with various interpretations. Since joining Dynamite Entertainment in 2005, she has been featured in numerous cycles of stories across different genres.

In some ways, it feels like a miracle that Red Sonja has become the myth that she is. There's a world where Robert E. Howard 's original concept for the character languished in obscurity, as countless other pulp heroines have. There's also a world where—following her comics introduction in 1973—she remained in the Marvel Comics tapestry long after her exit in 1986.

There's no telling how Sonja's sword-and-sorcery gimmick would have fit in the ever-sprawling world of modern Marvel, or if she would have been Flanderized or cast aside in recent years. Instead, since jumping over to Dynamite Entertainment in 2005, Sonja has become the fodder for countless cycles of stories. There has been tons of fantasy fare, as well as different genres, ultimately leading to a literal multiverse of different Sonjas. While it has been fun diving into those various interpretations, it has also meant that it takes a bit more for a good Red Sonja story to stand out
