I totally agree and everybody seems to forgwt that this arc of conan and the chick already did this stuff. We ended after the frost giants daughter and their was a fortress on the horizon and snake dudes to be killed. But#17 has not only failed the story but the art and characters and dialogue were a far cry from what we have had in 1-16 ive bought them all and the trade paperbacks . I really hope after 17 and 18 its not still bad.
