A NEW CONAN THE BARBARIAN ARC BEGINS! WITH NEW CONAN ARTIST DANICA BRINE (CHEF'S KISS)!
Conan the Cimmerian and Bêlit, Pirate Queen of the Black Coast, are in their prime, enjoying a life of decadence and debauchery, but a flagrant flash of wealth brings unwelcome attention from thieves with a taste for danger and agents from Stygia on a dark mission for their serpent god.
Conan and Blit have become legendary pirates. Some may wonder how much their stories have grown in the telling. But in Conan The Barbarian #17, as they relax in Kyros, Blit discovers that Conan's worries are justified. Still, that doesn't prevent her from accepting a job that could prove more dangerous than Conan's final robbery with Chaundra and the Gloryhounds. Read Full Review
Jim Zub kicks off this new story arc, promising exciting adventures with Conan and his Pirate Queen, a character we've only seen in flashbacks until now. It will be intriguing to see how this story unfolds as it develops. This is a strong and engaging start. Read Full Review
CONAN THE BARBARIAN #17 begins a new adventure during Conan's seafaring era when the Cimmerian and the Pirate Queen of the Black Coast undertake a quest for treasure and excitement. Jim Zub's script gives new readers a perfect introduction to Conan's greatest love, even if the adventure's start is light on drama, and guest artist Danica Brine's artwork is solid. Read Full Review
Though it has good action, I feel like this is a step backward. It's a simple story, and flashback, of Belit and Conan having a good time until they are set upon by thieves. Characters that Conan and Belit should have made short work of, take a bit longer to dispatch. They are offered a job. I'm confused about what happened to the last arc. Did that end? If it did, it was not a satisfying conclusion.
