Could it be that Marvel is testing the waters for a potential MCU Conan movie? IMHO it sounds like a stupid idea Marvel would come up with. I'm not saying it's a good idea (MCU Conan movie), but maybe they think if they flood the comic market with this crap and people buy it... It all just strikes me as "weird". One day, really no interest in Conan or barbarians and then the next day multiple Conan Marvel titles. Maybe it's their way of jumping on the Game of Thrones bandwagon?

Maybe tey're just trying to cover every genre. Soon there will be a Sgt. Conan and his Howling Cimmerians (war); Two-Gun Conan (western); and Conan the Model (instead of Millie). I can't wait.

why do they think anyone who cares about Conan will want this shit. Who is the target audience? Marvel are bringing back the 2099 universe with a range of title so the Marvel completists will.

Marvel have enough of their OWN characters in the pipeline for film and TV and they've still got to get the FOX characters in so can't see them doing a Conan film.

Pitch meeting:
Exec: "Hmm... Star Wars seems to be doing well... is there a way to get this sagging Conan title into Star Wars?" Writer: "No, but we can give him a lightsaber!" Exec: "FUCKIN' SOLD!"

A step closer to a comic adaption of the ultimate van mural: Conan riding a Shark fighting Darth Vader riding a Pegasus.

No worries. It's just a one-shot. You really gotta be concerned when Marvel start ignoring the Cimmerian completely when announcing these ridiculous events.

Okay, if they had made Conan 3099, in a post apoc, Kammandi-esque setting, I'd probably buy it.

I think Hun's got a good point. This sounds similar to Kull Eternal, but with the bringing back of the whole 2099 universe that's probably just a coincidence.

True, Marvel does have many projects in the pipe line, but how many like Conan? Like everyone else I'm looking forward to all of the new Marvel movies. However, even Disney and the MCU want longevity. At some point they may think outside the traditional hero comic story to keep people interested. I'm not saying I view Conan as a "hero", but they more than likely do. The MCU has been trucking along longer than any other genre. They may think it's worth showing fans a comic S&S movie with many sequels. Just saying.
