Legends of Red Sonja by Gail Simone and others

Simone creates a genius overarching plot for this collection of stories, where men in pursuit of Red Sonja come across various characters, who regale the hunters with their own experiences of the red-haired heroine, or in some stories, villain. These diverse tales create the perfect setup for the differing voices and impressions of Red Sonja readers will see from multiple writers. The individual stories vary from cringe-worthy ridiculous to the truly wonderful, and naturally, the artwork differs just as much. Novice readers of Red Sonja will not be left behind as this collection relays Red Sonja's supposed origins and history.

But what I really love is that Simone was able to hand pick female talent to tell the tales of this legendary woman. Check out all of Simone's Red Sonja series.
