Red Sonya Lawsuit Settled
Conan enthusiasts the world over can rest bit easier, for the lawsuit between Red Sonya LLC and Paradox Entertainment has finally been resolved. I wouldn't really care much, except I find it kind of amusing that what began as a $5 million dollar lawsuit last year has been settled for $1 (excluding all the legal fees thereby involved):
According to the Wilmington, Del., News-Journal, Red Sonja LLC paid Paradox $1 for all rights to Red Sonya, so that now the company owns both characters — no matter how you spell the name. In return, Paradox paid Red Sonja LLC $1 for the exclusive print-publication rights to “The Shadow of the Vulture,” the single Howard short story in which Sonya appears.
Red Sonja has never really been one of my favorite characters, and I hated the movie about her that was made in the 80s. However, I'm sure there are some people who will rejoice at the fact that the character is once again returning to comics, chainmail bikini and all.
