Parental Advisory
FINAL THOUGHTSOverall, Thomas nails another spectacular issue of everyones favorite Hyborian born Cimmerian. The issue was exceptionally entertaining, easy to follow, fast-paced, and captured this reader's attention from the first knucklehead to spit on Conans face (what an idiot!) to the dark crystals true reveal as the issue concludes. New and old Conan fans alike will appreciate the tone, character motivations, and classic feel of this issue. If youre a Conan the Barbarian fan, youll love this traditional tale from this classic storyteller. If youre new to the character, start with SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #10 and lead into this one for a great snapshot of the definitive barbarian. Thank you, Roy Thomas, for a tremendously entertaining two-part story. Read Full Review
Despite not quite living up to the promise of its first chapter, old-school Conan fans will love this one. Read Full Review
I honestly thought that Roy Thomas was getting three issues, not two. And knowing that the final issue will be written by Frank Tieri, I kinda wish the series concluded here.
An above average issue.
This was okay, I liked it less than last issue though, not sure why.
