Conan and Bêlit are the undisputed masters of the Western Ocean, their names whispered in fearful awe all along the Black Coast. But when Conan spots a mysterious, derelict ship following them, its horrifying cargo threatens to destroy everything they’ve built and tear them apart!
Brian Wood has been knocking Conan out the park issue after issue and his supporting cast of artist and colorist have definitely played a major role with giving you that savagery of Conan feel. This is a solid title all around and I have yet to fine a flaw in any issue. Read Full Review
Issue #10 is of my favorite issues in the series so far (not quite as awesome as issue #3, but close). Every note came off perfectly, and I think even the crustiest of Conan fans is going to have to admit that something cool is going on here. To any readers who dropped off during the last disappointing story arc, allow me to sound the All Clear alarm. It is safe to come back to Cimmeria. Read Full Review
What’s odd about this book is I find myself on the side of the opposite side of the rope I’m usually on. Usually I’m the longtime fan that finds all the changes done on the character/franchise to be terrible and wondering why people can’t see that. The thing is I don’t find this comic to be terrible even if I don’t have a long history with the character. Wood’s is a talent writer and the artist pool that Dark Horse is pulling from is refreshing and new. I can understand this not being some people’s view of Conan, but it’s a far cry from being a bad comic. Read Full Review
This is truly an excellent jumping-on point for the book. Wondering why Conan's on a boat? Doesn't matter; he's enjoying himself and that's all that matters. My one complaint with this issue was the decided dearth of action""it's definitely more of a talkie""but it's made up for by the fantastic images and the well-written hook that's reeled me in for the rest of this arc. 3.5 stars.
