Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows, the creators of Crossed, are now launching a new comic book called Babs in Ahoy Comics August 2024 solicits and solicitations. And it very much seems to be their take on Red Sonja, with Babs as “a barbarian thief with an itchy metal wardrobe and the world’s worst enchanted sword (named Barry)”. And Garth may be getting into feminist satire as Babs encounters “a fantastic landscape of wizards, dragons, demons, castles-and a band of very angry, very white knights”. Here are Ahoy’s full listings for August.
