I thought this was a good follow up to the last issue. Not a fan of the art as it's so different than we had before. However, it doesn't feel like an end to the story much like the frost giant story. It feels like he's just meandering and there's really not direction to his stories. Some iare in the past, some are in the present, some are in the future. I hope we get some kind of direction soon since issue 19 has nothing to do with this story. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/6GigQRz_4yg

A well-paced conclusion to this two-parter that makes for an enjoyable read, but feels too much like a TV cartoon episode. There's not enough sense of danger and Conan takes what looks like a terrible wound that he shrugs off too easily. Yes, of course, he's Conan, but if we feel nothing can hurt him let alone kill him then there's no bite to the tale. Danica Brine again excels at the figures and locations. She brings the people and architecture of the port town to solid and detailed life. But there's a YA look to her faces, and the serpent man is unfrightening and too easily killed. Stories of Conan should look more primitive and less polished than this and the monsters must be more horrific than we see here.
