CONAN OF CIMMERIA IS HAUNTED BY SHADOWS, LIVING NIGHTMARES CONNECTED TO A MYSTERIOUS EYE SYMBOL ETCHED IN BLACK STONE.
An unspeakable evil looms over the Hyborian Age and every age connected to it... and it will take more than a lone barbarian to stop its relentless march upon time, space, and sanity.
BATTLE OF THE BLACK STONE, an epic new CONAN EVENT from Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics, begins HERE, from Jim Zub (Conan the Barbarian, Dungeons & Dragons) and artist Jonas Scharf (Dark X-Men, Basilisk)!
Fans of the current Conan comic will find Battle of the Black Stone #1 to be a fine continuation of the monthly series. Newcomers will enjoy it as a welcome entry to the weird tales of Robert E. Howard. Most of all, it is a worthy tribute to the Bard of Cross Plains, which truly honors his remarkable legacy. Read Full Review

Howard Universe when a collective of heroes across time are called to join Conan in battle against the Black Stone's evil. Jim Zub infuses his story with an undeniable passion to extend Howard's legacy, and Jonas Scharf's sharp, atmospheric art is first-rate. Read Full Review
Conan: Battle of the Black Stone #1 is an interesting start. It builds a mystery across time and works for both new readers and long time fans. As the first event for the new launch of Robert E. Howard's creations, it opens up a lot of possibilities of what's to come. Read Full Review
This was purely a setup issue. I have no idea what the story even is yet or how all of these people are connected through time and space. Though the writing is good and the art is excellent, I can't give this one a higher score until I know what the story is. I'm looking forward to seeing more interaction between the characters.
