I was on the fence with issue #1, but #2 has pulled me in and won't let go. This is the Conan I loved growing up, and is reminiscent of Kurt Busiek's great run on the character. Savage Sword of Conan reveals through blood and carnage, there is heart. Read Full Review

The art is the real star here, and it shines rather brightly. Read Full Review

THE GOOD:

-Ron Garney's art was sooo good.

-This story arc is just really great.

-I was disappointed to discover Duggan wasn't continuing as writer, he would leave after the first story arc. Especially since Meredith Finch wrote a terrible Wonder Woman run.

-The story is enticing.

-I like Suty better that Conan himself. He's just a great character.

-That opening scene was so awesome. It felt like movie-level quality.

-Conan beating up those thugs with a foot was pure awesomeness.

-Overall, the action scenes were on point.

-I thought the execution for the Kheshatta city was great.

-I'm very interested by Menes' character.

THE BAD:

-The end wasn't great. It was one of those abrupt, ran-out-of-pages endings.

-I'm still not sold on Conan's character a whole lot. more

This is fun, I enjoy the endless brutality and the setting and Conan is pretty great.
