Jul 31, 2019Aaron lays out a masterful issue once again and shows a side of Conan that this reviewer has never seen before. The intricate detail and family dynamic sets this issue apart from the rest of his run. Conan fans, or fans interested in dipping their toe into the Cimmerians icy cold water, could read this issue as a stand-alone and get a taste of what both the Barbarian and Aaron have to offer.

Aug 15, 2019An issue that matters in the grand scheme of things as much as any other in this series. Which is to say it doesn't. As a standalone this issue is pretty toothless but as an arc I feel it just serves the purpose I've predicted. Read Full Review

Not bad, but I can't shake the feeling that we're just spinning our wheels at this point, the time for one-shot stories has passed. The novella story at the end is actually better than the main comic this week, the plot is getting very exciting and the prose has a sophisticated feel.

A one shot.. comes home, saves his forgotten family, let's move on.... I guess they need to churn out comics at marvel.... This is known as filler! Some cool zombie drawing got it a two.
