May 08, 2019The book makes good on the savagery of its title, in addition to delivering plenty of humor and a surprising amount of heart, which may or may not be at risk of suffering the effects of a wizard's poison. Read Full Review

May 10, 2019Conan may appear to be on a treasure hunt, escaping sorcerers, or simply fighting for his life, but Duggan shows the Cimmerians loyalty and character every step of the way. The issue was nonstop action and excitement while leaving readers hearts racing by the end. Fans will leave this issue being extremely entertained and wanting more. And the best part is; each issue has been such a fast read, including this one! Read Full Review

Excellent conclusion to the Koga Thun story. After a nice Goonie's nod, Conan comes face to face with the wizard, lots of decapitation. There's an awesome splash page at the end, the art style is very sketchy, takes some getting used to, but ends up working. Can't wait for the next arc.

THE GOOD: -Poor Suty. You'll always remain in my heart, buddy. -The pirate ship was pretty damn awesome. -Koga Thun is a pretty good villain. I liked his dialogue. -Speaking of, Gerry Duggan is a great writer. I really only discovered him this year, but I'm glad that I did. -Finally that damn Koga Thun got what he deserved. -The last seven pages or so of this comic are pure epicness. THE BAD: -I don't know why, but the art didn't seem as good as the first four issues here. -The whole time, Menes came across as just a bland character, unfortunately.
