Parental Advisory
Overall the third issue of Conan the Barbarian continues to entertain on such a visceral level, every aspect of this book is working to tell the best possible Conan story and what more could you ask for. If you haven't jumped on this series I would suggest adding it to your pull list as well as grabbing the three issues currently on the racks. This is going to be one for the ages, trust me True Believers. 5/5 Read Full Review
This is a Conan comic for the ages, by Crom! Read Full Review
Mahmud Asrars art is the perfect complement to Aarons words. Every panel is beautifully detailed and the characters look great. There is a brutal beauty to how the panels and the action beats are phenomenal. Read Full Review
Conan the Barbarian #3 showcases young Conan at his most stubborn, impetuous and brooding in a brush with death rife with divine implications most sinister. Read Full Review
I don't hate this issue but in my opinion much of the bad outweighs the good, with most of the interesting stuff happening off panel, a wholly unnecessarily long winded speech from a priest of Mitra for basically no reason, and the final resolution being possibly a literal act of a god.

A skippable entry overall. Read Full Review
This was great. My favorite issue so far. I didn't really even have time to read this, but once I started, I couldn't stop. That's a sign of an amazing issue, I think.
THE GOOD:
-Awesome issue. Huge improvement over the first two.
-Best art we've seen so far. The art was just really immersive.
-The narration was just really strong this issue.
-Okay, if you did not find this issue badass, I think you need to get your badass meter checked. Jk… I fully respect any and all opinions of those who read this issue…. :)
-This issue had a really compelling story.
-The end of this issue is just really perfect.
THE BAD:
-I don't really find Conan super compelling. I didn't grow up with him or anything, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Looks like Aaron has opted to write several self contained backstories to tie loosely into the main plot. This issue was pretty cool and makes me hope that divine intervention eludes to a grander plan. The prose backup was sweet too.
The thing that I like about this comic is that it worldbuilds without boring me to death. Thank you for the cool world, Conan.
