Analysis of RED SONJA VS. THE ARMY OF DARKNESS #1:
Plot:
After Miss Fury confronted Silver Shrike in Green Hornet/Miss Fury #3, the elder hero confirmed it was his plan to eliminate vigilantes who wouldn’t get on board with his plan. What is the plan? Silver Shrike intends to build an army of vigilantes under his direct control to restore order to the world by any means necessary.
Now, Silver Shrike introduces his ally, longtime Miss Fury enemy, and all-around Nazi, Erica von Kampf. Miss Fury fights von Kampf while Silver Shrike sneaks away. In the streets below, Kato fights Green Hornet to knock some sense into him about Silver Shrike’s involvement. The issue ends with the heroes teaming up to win the fight, and Green Hornet heading off to Silver Shrike’s training resort to confront his mentor alone.
Artwork and Presentation:
Federico Sorressa delivers the goods in an action-heavy issue that depicts at least six heroes and villains engaging in street-level combat. With the exception of an odd development that seems to get ignored as soon as it happens (see the second preview page below), the art is generally solid.
Art Samples:
Character Work:
Alex Segura and Henry Barajas nail Miss Fury’s irascible personality and defiant demeanor throughout the issue. On the flip side, Green Hornet is a unique character in that he’s supposed to be a gangster-type villain to the general public, but you never get that impression in this issue or the miniseries overall.
Structure:
The structure, sadly, is a confusing mess. The scenes aren’t paced or flow well. The fights, while energetic serve as time wasters, the sudden inclusion of Nazis is a tiresome creative choice, and the numerous distractions with side conversations and reporters kill the momentum of the plot.
Strongest Point(s):
The highlight of the issue is the non-stop action delivered by Federico Sorressa from Seguro and Barajas’s script. If you like street-level fisticuffs, you’ll get a kick out of this issue.
Weakest Point(s):
The downside of this issue is the awkwardly structured and executed plot. For example, the sample page seems to show Miss Fury getting stabbed in the back by one of Silver Shrike’s henchmen, but it never plays out as a stabbing and almost immediately is disregarded three panels later. In short, the readability of this script is rough and sloppy.
Final Thoughts:

GREEN HORNET/MISS FURY #4 combines great action and decent art with a rough, sloppily executed plot. Alex Segura and Henry Barajas have a solid idea at the heart of the story, but the execution is woefully lacking.
