My Rating “The Coils Tighten” The returning sensation that is The Savage Sword Of Conan has reached the ten issue mark. Jim Zub is here with an elevator-pitch update on things to come. If you haven’t guessed already, it deals with the lands of Stygia. I’m very pleased to find the sword in all of […]
My Rating “The Tower Of The Elephant!” The Heart of the Elephant, what mystery does it hold? According to the loudmouth Zamourian, drunk on Artesian wine, immortality. Or, was it the key to Yaga’s sorcery? Conan was going to find out. A tavern brawl erupted from a nearby table, giving Conan the opportunity to slink
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Three: Power And Influence” A life debt is a powerful thing to hold over anyone’s head. To have such an obligation, even for one such as “Amra Of Akbatana”, can take a lifetime to repay. Fortunately for Conan, his savior is tasked with destroying the voice of
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Two: Diamond In The Dirt” Into the pit! Conan is now a slave of the Stygian sorcerers of Keshatta, and they want his blood for their grizzly entertainment. As the barbarian locks weapons with a behemoth gladiator, the roar of the crowd fills the arena with fresh
My Rating “Conan & Valeria: The Sunless Isle” Conan and Valeria had pillaged the Western Sea in a time preceding the fall of Bêlit, Queen of the Black Coast. The Cimmerian had found an uneasy companionship with the golden-haired beauty. Valeria was a corsair, pirate, and member of the Red Brotherhood; yet she became a
My Rating “Treasure Of The Vermin Queen” When Fleek spoke of treasure, this was not what Conan had envisioned. In the absence of gold coins, ruby chalices, and all the gilded absoluteness sold to children as a matter of fact, what lay before the Cimmerian made his blood boil. The underground temple held no ver-men
My Rating “Twisting Loyalties Part 04 – Purged” The Mark of Set? An aura of the Snake God? How could such hollow hubris lay so heavy on a child born from stone? Conan questioned the sanity of the shape-changer as he traversed under the jungle canopy. The Dafarian mystic claimed salvation at the peak of
My Rating “Mark Of The Beast” Raja, the bowman from Vezek, lay near the campfire, inhaling heavily. The pain from the toxic wound struck deeper into his chest with every breath. What dark affliction had the tiger-priest of Yota-Pong infected him with? Conan sat opposite to his ally, his steel-blue eyes scanning the Turanian over
My Rating “The Twilight of the Grim Grey God!” Note: Adapted from Robert E Howard’s story “The Grey God Passes” Into the wind Conan fled. A mountainous figure stood watching him from afar. Had the Cimmerian crossed paths with an elder god? How did the graying stranger know of battles to come? Conan knew not
My Rating “Curse Of The Undead-Man” The cut-purse thugs had swarmed Conan in a darkened alleyway by chance, but what the Cimmerian had found on the cobblestone moments ago was worth killing for. The Maul district of Zamora had never been safe to traverse at any hour of the day, but at night, only seasoned
