If you've not read any of the current wave of Conan the Barbarian, this is a fine place to start. If you have been reading the current series, expect more of the same amazing art and epic adventure that has defined the Titan Comics era. Read Full Review

Another great tale from Jim Zub with a genuinely creepy sense of growing peril in the seemingly-friendly town where Conan and his crew are relaxing and feasting.It's hard to say there's anything really new to be wrung from the REH mythos, but this is as good as it gets.
Fernando Dagnino makes his debut on this issue, following in the footsteps of De La Torre and Braithwaite, in keeping with the established style but bringing his own touches to it. These artists have brought the Hyborian Age to life and it feels as real as this world of wizards and monsters ever can.
This was a great issue.Continuing with Zubs writing and beautiful artwork by Dagnino.
What I like about Jim Zub is that he doesn't let a story get stale like many of the Marvel and DC writers seem to be doing nowadays. Even though I don't think some of his other stories even wrapped up. A lot happens in this issue and is a really good opening to a story, putting Conan and his group in grave danger. Looking forward to the next issue.
