  King Conan The Conqueror #6 is a perfect ending to an incredible series about one's life story, persevering and acquiring what's needed to triumph and attain what's truly meaningful in life. It can be viewed as inspirational but it's definitely entertaining whether or not that was originally intended when this series was conceived. King Conan set out to tell his scribe a story that would encompass his entire life for others to know him, and my hat's off to Timothy Truman for an excellent adaptation that succeeded in completely doing that. And of course this includes the artwork of Tomas Giorello, which helped make this one of the most engrossing series I've read. I highly recommend this series. Read Full Review

  Toms Giorello andJos Villarrubia, two artist that I've really come to love and respect from their work on this series. There is lots of blood and mayhem in this issue and they don't stint on anything. Their art is brutal to its core and it gets across the endgame quite nicely in an awesome battle between Conan and Xalotun, the chief villain here. With all the different characters and the scale of armies involved here, Giorello and Villarrubia do an excellent job of maintaining the various differences and every page pretty much packs a punch of awesome and exciting.

  Giorello's artwork has been awesome throughout. I desperately want to see more from this guy as he thoroughly impressed me. I simply wished that the story matched his art. Had that have happened, then I would have been beaming. As it is though, I can only give this issue a four, even though this was the best of the issues. Overall, the entire mini can only maintain athree.I am real glad that things improved. I just wished they could have started stronger and remained there, rather than wallowing in mediocrity with a nice finish. Read Full Review
