Which brings up another issue: I've never read Red Sonja, but it strikes me as a, principally, TnA comic in a similar vein as Tarot (someone correct me if this is inaccurate). And it occurs to me that-that would compound the issue of putting Gail Simone on....anything.
I mean, I can just imagine putting someone like Simone on a character who's a Tarot cousin. Why the fuck would anyone want to buy that? Her approach would totally defeat the book's purpose.
