I am a big fan of Conan comics, I have a few comic books from the times of John Buscema and they are from my most precious collection and I really love reading a good title of "The Savage Sword of Conan" again, Jim Zub brings us an excellent story which combined with the talent of Patch Zircher make this title revive its great splendor.

FINAL THOUGHTSIf you're not reading ANY Conan books, you need to start and this issue is a great place to start and dip your toe into the cold Cimmerian waters. Its a different Conan story than many are used to but still has some of the basic, brutal, and barbaric traits that make the Hyborian the same savage gladiator that older fans have grown to love. This issue not only focuses on everyones fun-loving (sarcasm) Cimmerian, but it also has hints of mystery, adventure, and even gambling! Dont hesitate any longer and head to your LCS and start reading some Conan. Why not start with SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN #7? Read Full Review

While some prefer the slow-paced expositional buildups, it's most definitely not my cup of tea. Read Full Review
Man, Conan is great.
A nice, simple Conan story.
