Thanksgiving Turkey RED SONJA "Into the Realm of Darkness" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

...planning to save the world from Queen Gedren's plot to unleash the power of an ancient artifact that could destroy the world, Red Sonja and her allies reach...

Oddly, the comic ends five minutes before the actual end of the movie...

Think the creative women, writer Louise Simonson and penciler Mary Wilshire, just couldn't stomach doing those last few minutes?

BTW, a decade ago, director Robert Rodriguez planned a remake...

...starring his then-paramour Rose McGowan as the chain mail-bikini-clad version of the character, but it died in Development Hell.

in 2015, Rodriguez did produce a motion comic version of Gail Simone's story from Dynamite Comics...

but it's hardly the same.

The Movie

Thanksgiving Turkey RED SONJA "Into the Realm of Darkness" Part 2

When Last We Left Sonja and the Barbarian (who isn't Conan, despite being played by the same actor)...

After Queen Gedren and her men kill Sonja's parents and brother, torture her and leave her for dead, a goddess/ghost manifests itself and grants her the strength and skill to avenge herself.

Months later, Gedren attacks the Temple of the Talisman before the warrior-priestesses can destroy the Talisman, a mystical object which has been growing in power and now threatens to destroy the Earth.

The only surviving guard, Varna, tries to escape and is shot by an archer.

But she is rescued by Conan...er...I mean...Kalidor...who then goes to find Varna's sister, Sonja, and bring the warrior-in-training to her mortally-wounded sister...

To Be Continued Saturday at...
Heroines!
Trivia: Sandahl Bergman, who starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian, turned down the role of Red Sonja to play Queen Gedren.
