The road to Shamar is long-and thralls of the Corvidae threaten every step. But Conan will persevere in Diana's quest to protect the town...though he might be equally interested in revenge against the slaver who sold them into peril on the high seas! Co-published with Dark Horse Comics!

    Hopefully Simone and Leopresti are on the short list of creators who will be writing Conan's adventures in 2019. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Christina Hamlet Feb 6, 2018

    This issue keeps up with the same high quality that the previous installments have had. Im looking forward to the final installment next issue, though Im not looking forward to the end of such a great book. Read Full Review

    Comic Crusaders - Andy Hall Jan 17, 2018

    This has been a great series so far, and with only one more chapter to go, we'll all have to wait a month to see how Simone and Lopresti are going to wind everything up. DC seems to have put a lot more thought into their team ups with other publishers and that has paid off in well-crafted stories that benefit the characters from both. Reader got to see another side of Diana and a side of Conan that is rarely brought to light in his stories. I hope this is something that they will continue to explore after this series ends.

    Weird Science - Jeremy Daw Jan 17, 2018

    Simone's writing is generally excellent here and she introduces a couple of genuinely surprising moments that bode well for next month's finale. The art continues to be lively and clear, and the sense of rollicking adventure in the grand pulp style is positively palpable. An excellent slice of comic book excitement. Recommended.

    IGN - Blair Marnell Jan 18, 2018

    Gail Simone has believably forged a bond between Conan and Diana that seems destined to break when he goes back to Marvel next year. In the interim, there's some genuinely moving material here. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Bin - Philip Schweier Jan 17, 2018

    I'm almost saddened to see this series end, though when collected into trade format, I'm sure it will be a satisfying read for fans of both Conan and Wonder Woman. Perhaps it should have been published in trade format to begin with. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Sean Blumenshine Jan 18, 2018

    This is a solid issue. The Corvidae effectively raise the stakes, allowing the story to go in a completely different direction than what I expected. The art is great and there is cool action. The story ends in an interesting place and I'm excited to see how Simone wraps the story up. Read Full Review

    Comic Bastards - Kelly Gaines Jan 18, 2018

    The lasso is an interesting choice of gift for a man like Conan. From issue one we have seen his animalistic ability to lie, cheat, and kill when he deems it necessary. The title of "barbarian" is well deserved. I'm interested to see where the lasso takes Conan, and if compelling others, to tell the truth, brings out extra honesty within himself. Read Full Review
