My Rating “The Nomad” A stranger has come to the gates of Tarantia seeking council with the King of Aquilonia. Yet, the Black Dragons – the ordained defenders of the city, bar his entrance as they would any common vagrant. There would be no audience with Conan or his royal vassals that day. So the […]
My Rating “A Nest Of Serpents – Part Four: The Nest Breath ” Sorcery can be a powerful ally if one chooses to employ it. For Conan, he despised the practice no matter who wielded it. So, when the Darfarian shapeshifter known as Zula clutched a magic amulet around his neck, Conan’s face turned sour.
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 “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 “A Nest Of Serpents – Part One: Slaves Of The Magi” A quarter moon stood high in the night sky as a stranger to the Kushian town of Daynt stalked a group of local denisons. These men were hiding a secret which could affect those who had just entered the squallored walls proper.
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 ”Twisting Loyalties Part 03 – Hunted” Death had never gripped Conan with such melancholy. His one true love, Bêlit, and her crew of pirates had been sent to their maker whilst battling a winged demon in a jungle temple near the Zarkheba river. Now Conan was left sullen in a tropical expanse he
