Parental Advisory
As a follow-up to the first issue, it's a disappointment, but as its own story, Conan The Barbarian #2 is a much stronger comic. Read Full Review
Without a doubt this is comic worthy of the old Conan Marvel comics by creators like Thomas and Buscema. 5 out of 5! Read Full Review
So far this series feels to be in the vein of previous Conan series with one off stories servicing an overarching narrative, you can pick this issue up having not read the prior and follow it just fine. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
Mahmud Asrars art is astounding. There is both beauty and savagery in every page and Asrar finds the perfect balance between the two in the issue. Read Full Review
Another great issue in what is becoming one of the best series out there. Fantastic storytelling and fantastic art and bonus prose combine for something that stands out from the crowd. Read Full Review
If you are not reading Conan the Barbarian you are missing out on a bloody good time. This continues to be an all-around fun comic book. Aaron continues to weave a fantastical Hyborian Age tale of Conan the Barbarian. It has all the battles, tales and travels you could want out of the series. The art team of Asrar and Wilson is top notch and brings a visual flair to the series. I have never been a big Conan the Barbarian fan, but I am now! Read Full Review
Conan the Barbarian is true to form. If you were worried we wouldn't get done in one adventure stories, fear not, as this issue offers up a great one. Read Full Review
Conan #2 continues the strong showing for the worlds most famous barbarian and his showcase back under the Marvel Comics banner. Read Full Review
The whole book is fairly reminiscent of Aaron's long-running take on Thor - primarily his young Thor stories. This is in no way a criticism - I am a huge fan of Aaron's Thor. The art is beautiful, the writing is great, and the (creative) future looks bright for the series. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts: Its another great Conan story from Jason Aaron and the art and colors continue to compliment the writing and the character perfectly. And it has Conan messing up some crazy giant snakes so what else do you want? Read Full Review
Mahmud Asrar continues to excel with his depiction of Conan's fantasy world, and he and Aaron seem to be settling into an episodic rhythm with the series that fans of Howard's short stories will likely appreciate. Read Full Review
It was immediately clear that Jason Aaron was born to write Conan the Barbarian after the debut issue, but Aaron has definitely avoided a sophomore slump with the second entry in the series. Read Full Review
"Conan The Barbarian" #2 lends the title hero a strong sense of characterization and vivid artwork. Read Full Review
Everything about this book shows a team trying to achieve quality.
Now, this was better. After a pretty slow start with the first issue mostly being set up, this was great. It's the best Anaconda movie I've ever seen, and I really had a good time reading this.
Conan under Jason Aaron is just simply amazing.
Nice start to the series. Go artwork with effective storytelling.
A step up from the first issue. Im interested now.
This comic was kind of a digression, but a nice one.
It's good but what does this have to do with the previous issue besides the last page?
Did we really need faux Native Americans in Conan? Comes way too close to discredited Noble Savage garbage.
Confused Conan fighting native Americans… And conspiring snakes? Ends with barbarian vs culture ideology….
To much for a one shot
