A DEADLY QUEST AND A DARING HEIST... IN THE AGE OF MARVELS!
CONAN wanders the desert, and as he reaches the city, no Stygian temple nor Vendyhan fortress greets him. No, something far stranger: the lights of fabulous Las Vegas! Conan is far from home, and it's time for him to tread the thrones of the Marvel Universe under his sandaled feet!
The City of Sin is just the beginning for Conan's solo jaunt by Eisner award-winner Saladin Ahmed (BLACK BOLT, MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN) and Luke Ross (STAR WARS: ALLEGIANCE, SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN), as the barbarian finds himself on a quest for a relic that predates even his

Feb 05, 2020Luke Ross does some great work with the art in this issue. Everything is filled with vibrant details and Ross does a great job of building tension in the panels to the final reveals. Read Full Review

Feb 04, 2020This is a book I couldn't believe Marvel Comics was publishing, but now I'm kicking myself for doubting them. Conan in a Las Vegas adventure works well thanks to the fish-out-of-water approach, but also the well-crafted characters that surround him. This is a good example of how dropping a character in an unfamiliar setting can make them come alive in new ways. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Joshua Campbell
Feb 14, 2020Conan Battle for the Serpent Crown is off to a strong start and I look forward to seeing where they go from here. With a veteran writer at the helm and a strong premise for high adventure, I foresee a story full of colorful characters, both old and new, and scenes and locals that set the stage and make the story come to life. I can't wait for issue 2 to hit shelves. Read Full Review

Feb 04, 2020For Ahmeds first go around with the Hyborian Born Destroyer, this was a great start. Sure, there may have been a few characteristics of Conan, as well as the supporting cast, that needed to be ironed out. However, overall this is a great starting point for readers interested in Conan as well as his interaction with a variety of Marvel Heroes. Pick this issue up, definitely add this series to your pull list, and let me know what you think. My hope is more clarity will come as the series progresses. Read Full Review

Pretty good tbh, I think I just get such a kick out of seeing Conan try to make sense of the real world that this comic would work for me even if it was boring.

This was good. I think Saladin Ahmed gets Conan pretty well, and the story is interesting enough to hold my attention.
