I think I have said just about everything I can say about how great this book is. I am still in awe of just how “CONAN” it is. The team putting this book together are continuing to surprise and amaze me, and with just two issues left in this half of the series it will be sorely missed until the second half which will be titled, King Conan: The Conqueror in 2014. No surprises from me when I give this book" Read Full Review
Truman's prose flows freely around the art, enhancing the visuals and capturing the pulp age feel perfectly. His characters speak like they are Howard's but with a modern bent as this mini keeps going strong. Read Full Review
I have gotten used to the King Conan series being incredible, but short. I am so happy Truman, Giorello, and Villarrubia finally have the length and time they need to flesh out the story completely. This is a great year for Conan fans. Read Full Review
King Conan: The Hour of the Dragon #4 is nothing less than a superb outing, that sends this saga toward what should be an engaging penultimate issue. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
While I consider myself still new to Conan, between this and Dark Horse's ongoing series, I'm quickly becoming a fan. So much so, I'm deciding where to start when it comes to finding out what I've been missing. Read Full Review
This series has unfortunately been very uneven. There's never a complete dud, but there are some that dazzle and others that fizzle out. It's partly due to massive amounts of exposition dropping in a rather boring way. While Giorello technically kills it in every panel his style makes the slower paced scenes fall a bit flat. There's only so much mist that can punch up a scene and I think it's partly due to his style. It works incredibly well for action sequences and dramatic moments, but if a sequence has a lot of exposition you're sitting on only a handful of close ups. Read Full Review
