Red Sonja Clashes with Martian Invaders in Epic 2025 Crossover Event

As a lifelong fan of both Red Sonja and Mars Attacks!, I am beyond thrilled about Dynamite Comics’ upcoming crossover series ‘Red Sonja Attacks Mars!’ The creative team behind this project has my full attention, with Jay Stephens’ playful yet reverent take on the classic Mars Attacks! art and Norman Saunders’ eerie childhood memories. The blending of sword and sorcery with retro science fiction and dark comedy sounds like a recipe for an epic adventure that I can’t wait to devour!

In March 2025, prepare for a captivating collaboration between Dynamite Comics as they introduce ‘Red Sonja’s Assault on Mars’, an exhilarating new storyline featuring the famous character.

The writing and artistic duo responsible for this show are Jay Stephens and Fran Strukan, blending elements of ancient swords and magic, futuristic sci-fi, and a touch of gloomy humor.

Jay Stephens, renowned for his creations like ‘Dwellings’ and ‘Tales from the Abyss,’ expresses his enthusiasm regarding this new venture.

He mentions his fascination with the classic Mars Attacks! card art by Norman Saunders, describing his writing style as a playful yet respectful nod to the eerie memories of his childhood.

Stephen’s goal is to combine the kitschy feel of horror with a retro mid-century aesthetic, giving a modern spin to the fondly remembered aspects.

In ‘Red Sonja Faces Mars,’ Sonja is driven by an obligation she owes to take up a quest, aiming to thwart a catastrophic prediction that stems from beyond our planet.

Her journey from the southern deserts to the northern Vilayet Sea is fraught with dangers, including serpent-men, metamorlocks, and ancient deities, as she faces off against the notorious Martians threatening her world.

The series delivers an enticing blend of different genres, along with the comeback of the sinister Martians from the beloved sci-fi classic, Mars Attacks!

The distinctive cover artwork for each issue, created by renowned artists such as Joseph Michael Linsner, Jae Lee, and Greg Land, significantly enhances their appeal, making each one a valuable collector’s item on its own.



To honor the trading card roots of Mars Attacks!, each variant cover will come with unique collector’s cards showcasing the artists’ artwork as an added bonus.

In January 2025, you’ll be able to pre-order the first issue of ‘Red Sonja Attacks Mars’ from your local comic book stores, as well as digitally on platforms such as Comixology, Kindle, and Google Play, according to Diamond Comic Distributors’ Previews catalog for that month.

Instead of merely being a fresh comic book launch, this interplanetary crossover is an extraordinary happening that will fuse terror, wit, and excitement into a captivating mix, leaving fans clamoring for more with exclamations like “ACK ACK!
