    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

    Comic Crusaders - Jeffrey Bracey Jan 22, 2019

    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

    Comic Watch - John Jack Jan 16, 2019

    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

    Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson Jan 17, 2019

    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

    Sequential Planet - Pashtrik Maloki Jan 16, 2019

    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

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - Jim Werner Jan 24, 2019

    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

    ComicBook.com - Jamie Lovett Jan 16, 2019

    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

    Newsarama - Pierce Lydon Jan 17, 2019

    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
