Conan and Bêlit find themselves enemies when they become involved in a military conflict in Shem! Left behind on the Tigress as Bêlit visits home, Conan follows, determined to prove he can survive the desert. When events spin beyond his control, the Cimmerian is drafted into an army storming a Shemite fortress—with Bêlit defending the ramparts!
If Dark Horse is smart, they will already have Mirko Colak signed up for something else. I hope it is more Conan. Because talent like this deserves more than just two issues. And readers like us deserve this level of talent. Read Full Review
Realism over fantasy dominates in Wood's Conan the Barbarian, and the barbarian has never been been better portrayed because of this. Here's to hundreds of issues of Conan the Barbarian under Wood's direction. Read Full Review
I am pretty excited about the new arc as Brian Wood continues to deliver issue after issue on Conan. 13 issues in and I continue to enjoy every bit of it as I did the first issue. If you've already been on the Conan bandwagon then its pretty easy to get excited with whats to possibly come and for new readers issue 13 is probably not as exciting as to old readers but a great jumping on point with enough to draw you in. Pick it up. Read Full Review
Conan the Barbarian #13 leaves readers with cliffhanger that begs plenty of questions. The Woman on the Wall is off to a great start and longtime fans of the character are sure to get a kick out of what is a solid entry into a series that deserves far more attention than it has received.

Scan the shelves at your local store for this series because by Crom it's good. Read Full Review
It should also be noted that this is Dark Horse's 100th Conan book, but there is no renumbering or distracting celebration -- and interesting occurrence in our current comic market. Read Full Review
If this is a sign of what's to come in Conan's ongoing series, readers are in for a treat. Although there is a lot of room for improvement, this new arc is showing potential. Brian Wood continues to breathe life into this series. He gives depth to his characters, even to a hulking Cimmerian. Also, he continues to develop unique conflicts to keep the masses entertained. Dave Stewart deserves a golden star for this issue since he played a big part in saving this issue. His colors remain consistent and engaging. Mirko Colak is a welcome addition to a very talented art roster. His stylised approach will standout when compared to other artists' recent runs. It will be interesting to see how Colak deals with the various settings and peoples of Conan's world. This issue might not add many readers, but it will not lose any either. Read Full Review
If you saw the Conan movie last year and it piqued your curiosity or if you have always had an interest in the character then check out this issue, just be aware that there is not a lot of action to be had. Read Full Review
While the issue was a little long-winded, with an overabundance of narrative and some questionable character design, Wood and Colak are still heading in the right direction. This is a good jumping on point for someone looking to grab single issues. However, I’d suggest grabbing the Queen of the Black Coast trade if you’re looking to find a reason to like Conan himself.

This issue is a great jump on point for old fans new to the current series and new Conan readers alike. Also despite my reservations for “Conan-in-love”, he is the most dangerous when shit gets personal and being abducted to fight against his own woman is not going to sit well with Conan for too long. Even with said minor gripes I am definitely looking forward to see how this goes down when it all comes to a head so I’ll be reading. Read Full Review
