Apr 03, 2019Conan the Barbarian #5 feels a bit like a greatest hits of Conan stories. Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar offer a tale with pirates, cursed idols, elder gods, monsters, and storms at sea; it's Conan at his most anguished and most joyous. Read Full Review

Cool issue. Wish they had a little cliffhanger or something for the Cthulhu-like monster thingy. Would like to see more of that.

THE GOOD: -Mahmud Asrar is still doing a good job. I've definitely warmed up to his art. -The action scenes this issue were great, even if they were short. -The tentacle-monsters were the best part of the issue. -This issue did have a great atmosphere, even if the execution wasn't as strong. -That last page was creepy, and I liked it. THE BAD: -This story didn't pull me in as much as the King Conan one or the execution one. Luckily these issues have different stories from Conan's life, so next issue will likely be better. -The narration was fine, but the lack of dialogue was frustrating. -Still not loving Conan as a character. I think that is some byproduct of me not growing up with him, or really reading any more
