    I am an unabashed, long time, lover of all things Conan. It is a rich treat to be following a title that seems to truly understand the quirks, mannerisms, intricacies, and failings of the barbarian we have come to love.

I can't wait to see the next issue and that is not something I can't say about every title. Read Full Review

Cullen Bunn writes Conan with a wit and cunning few writers have equaled. The artwork by Sergio Davila, coupled with the colors of Michael Atiyeh, brings the visceral world of Hyboria to life wonderfully. Read Full Review

    In this issue, things go left as Conan’s relationship with the Kozaki tribe goes south in the face of an infighting at the top of the food chain.

    Bunn does an incredible job at pulling in the story and setting it back on its violent path when the moments call for it.

    Brutality is Conan’s calling card. Yet Bunn refuses to write a lazy arc that leaves the heavy lifting for Dávila.

    At its best, the events that litter this issue force readers to choose a side to root for. There will always be those that take up the cause of the villain.

    The Kozaki chieftain’s youngest son plays that role to the hilt as his siniste more
