Spidey & Red Sonja Get It On (Kind Of)
By Edwin McRae - Thursday, February 18th, 2010
My random selection from the local library – ‘Spiderman and Red Sonja’. Not my usual choice as I generally despise Spiderman. But hey, it’s Red Sonja.
And how was it? Artistically, very cool indeed. Beautiful images all around – can’t fault it. Conceptually? Groovy. Spidey’s plunged into Red Sonja’s D&D universe, as is a decent chunk of New York, by an evil sorcerer from Sonja’s world. The story? Not too shabby. Nothing surprising, but nothing too clunky either. The writing? Oeming’s usual style. State the obvious whenever you can because of course the images can’t do a lot of that work for you. Of course. And lets have oaths galore. I think Red Sonja makes an oath to disembowel some man every three or four frames. She never does.
Still, aside from the dialogue, it’s an entertaining read. Worth a quick look.

The movie THE shining is frightening because of the extraordinarily effective use of long shots to create feelings of isolation, convex lens shots to enhance surrealism, and meticulously scored music to bring tension levels to virtually unbearable levels. And “funny” because of Jack Nicholson’s outrageous and in many cases ad-libbed onscreen antics.
