In issue #14, we see more of young Sonja's journey and the "present day" trials of Sonja, Sumarro and Osin as they face the manifestations of the Borat-Na Fori, little realizing that the true evil behind the curtain - Kulan Gath - is growing stronger by the day!
Part 3 of "The Return of Kulan Gath" story Arc begin's as usual, with a flashback of Sonja's Child hood, the art done by Stephen Sadowski, with the remainder of this issue's art done by Mel Rubi. I am again amazed by the Flashback sequence, it's only 2 pages, and yet, it hold's an incredible amount of power. The Remainder of the issue - Sonja, Sumarro and Osin continue their Journey through the snow covered mountain's - running into quite the road block. While the Evil Spawn of Kulan Gath continue's onward with his massive army, hoping to find Sonja and destory her. Not a whole lot actually happen's in Issue #14, though it does continue the story, even if it is in a small increment.
The Art by Mel Rubi is always amazing, such is the case here again. Other then being generally awesome, a lot of the fun with this series are the Multiple covers we get each moth, Their are 3 this time around, one from JG Jones, Mel Rubi & Claudio Castellini (Shown Below). Red Sonja is always great, and issue #14 is no exception, I just wish we could have moved the story along alittle more.
