“Part Four – Unity Or Death”
The truth has been revealed to Kull, Conan, and John Kirowan. Set, the great serpent god and earth mother, has spirited the three heroes through time and space for a proposed alliance. But why? What has caused a god of such power to tremble with fear before them?
Something older than the gods themselves, is on a collision with planet Earth. A Woeful Eye, unseen by man, except in dreams and horrific nightmares. If allowed to make contact with man and their world, all will be lost. The future of humanity is hanging by a thread. It is clearly evident in three different eras. So sayeth the Shaman, Gonar the Seeker.
“In The Coils Of Set: The Origins And Legacy Of The Great Serpent”
The great god Set plays a major role in Robert E Howard’s literary universe, but where did he find inspiration for such an iconic villain? In this new analysis by Jeffrey Shanks’ we find out just that. From ancient Egyptian influences, to African folklore, to the modern UFO phenomenon, Shanks digs into the truth behind the serpent god fought by so many. This is one you don’t want to pass up.
“Ironclad Inking”
Inker, Ivan Gil, stops by for a quick interview with Titan Comics. Get the scoop on Titan’s newest talent. I hope to see more of his work.
Review
We have reached the conclusion of Titan Comics’ latest miniseries starring three of Robert E Howard’s most iconic characters. From this tale we learn of darker forces more powerful than the gods themselves. I enjoyed this series even if it was a repackaged telling of Howard’s original works. With Jim Zub and Roy Thomas at the helm, I foresee many more great adventures for Conan and his ilk. I give this issue and the series as a whole four out of five stars.
