This 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

Conan 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

For 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

Ominous portrayals of iconic Marvel characters and locations teetering between Conan's realm and ours help blend the two settings together and create a cohesive world that invites you to see what happens next. Read Full Review

It's not the biggest attention grabber for a first issue, but it works and sets up some very interesting stuff down the road. Read Full Review

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