A great tribute to the goat,Conan of Cimmeria.Beautiful artwork.It is fitting for this special 25th issue.
Spectacular extra-sized 25th issue!
THE NOMAD: Conan the King welcomes a strange visitor with an even stranger mission.
Can the Ruler of Aquilonia prove his mettle or will the mysterious wander’s incredible power change the course of history?
And Zub's story has a twist that further expands upon the original lore of Howard's Conan in a way that will be familiar to regular readers of his work and this series. As for newcomers, this is a wonderful introduction to Conan as a character, the deeper themes of civilization versus barbarism that Howard loved to explore, and a rousing adventure comic to boot. Not bad for the price. Not bad at all, by Crom! Read Full Review
Like its hero, CONAN THE BARBARIAN #25 is battered but unbowed. A triumphant spectacle that raises a goblet to legacy and dares myth to swing back. If this is what barbarism at fifty looks like, civilization never stood a chance. The king endures, the legend grows, and any reader with a taste for sword-and-soul is left only wanting more.

An honorable celebration, it's amazing how this book just gets better!
I didn't like this issue as much as the previous one. It was a sharp departure from the previous stories. This was a one-shot, and I appreciate that, but the conclusion didn't live up to the build-up that occurred throughout the issue. I was a bit disappointed by the overall story. Looking forward to the conclusion of the Bast story.

The artwork is fantastic, but the story is very disappointing, especially considering the expanded page-count, amounting to little more than a whistle-stop tour of Conan's greatest hits - a wasted opportunity to tell a substantial done-in-one King Conan tale.
