Conan the Slayer #3 Cullen Bunn (W), Sergio Dávila (A), Michael Atiyeh (C), and Admira Wijaya (Cover) On sale Sept 28 FC, 32 pages $3.99 Ongoing While on a raid, Conan and a small party of Kozaki riders—including the chief’s son—are separated from the rest of the tribe and attacked by a sea witch. Meanwhile, in their absence, disastrous events are unfolding at the Kozaki camp . . . • Powerhouse writer Cullen Bunn and artist Sergio Dávila team up for a new Conan series! • Cover by Admira Wijaya!
I'm kinda intrigued; we see Conan as a mentor and a teacher, which isn't something I recall seeing a lot of. It's an intriguing concept.

I'll definitely be getting the bottom cover where Conan doesn't look like Ahnuld.

These covers are OK, really. I can`t say they are bad.

Ahnuld isn't Conan and Conan isn't Ahnuld.

Who the hell cares? He looks muscular, he looks more like Conan than he did in avenger....It's a minor quibble.

Yeah, just the cover. The interior preview of #1 shows he's depicted as he should.

A single odd choice of a headpiece for Conan for the cover I can take, and will gladly accept with the increased quality in interior art.

The first story arc of Conan the Slayer seems to have a few parallels with DH's take on 'The Frost Giant's Daughter'. The leader (Niord/Mykylo) of the (Aesir/Kozak) takes in Conan. There's the jealous tribesman (Sjarl/Kyrylo) who's willing to betray his people to get rid of Conan.
In the Frost Giant's Daughter, Atali, tells her brothers that she has '...brought you a man to slay! Take his heart. That we may lay it smoking on our father's board!' In this story arc 'Giant Vilayet Sea Trolls' say ' Look at what we've found! Brave little warriors... all softened up from battle... Seasoned with sweat and blood and beachgrit... Delicious little morsels to take back home to mother!'
Conan captures Atali and says 'You are cold as the snows girl! But I'll warm you-- warm you with the fire in my own blood..'
In this story the mother of the 'Giant Vilayet Sea Trolls' wants to have Conan's children!!
