Red Sonja #0, the top ordered item in February Previews for April shipping, will now ship with two covers. Both covers feature the beautiful Greg Land artwork, with one cover featuring a black background and the other cover featuring a white background. Regarding the two cover, Dynamite Entertainment acknowledges and is incredibly grateful for retailers support of this new project and wanted to help them by giving them two ways to sell and display the introductory zero issue.

Fans and Retailer should note that all retailers' orders have been split across two newly created cover codes. Issue #0 will be shipping with two covers along with the incentive covers - featuring RRP Editions by (Rare Retailer Premium) Greg Land cover and the "Sneak Peak" Alex Ross high end cover - and Reorder copies will also be made available under these two codes: FEB058469 E RED SONJA CVR A #0 and FEB058470 E RED SONJA CVR B #0. The issue is sold out from Dynamite Entertainment, but it is our understanding that a few copies may be left at the distribution level.

"I think the creative team is superb and besides that, Red Sonja is one of my favorite characters ever! I also think that the timing for the #0 issue is great-I'm going to order a bunch of extra copies for free comic book day!"

"Conan is Hot! Red Sonja will be hotter! Especially with the team Dynamite has on the book. And the cover artists, unbelievable! It's icing on the cake. At only a quarter each, I'll give it out to all of our customers.
