Great Improbable Preview from Bleeding Cool: www.bleedingcool.com/2019/11/01/getting-marvels-moneys-worth-with-conan-2099-improbable-previews/'Every so often (but seemingly less so since we started this column), comic book publishers accidentally send out unlettered previews, showing us what the characters are doing but not what they’re saying. What a boner! In Improbable Previews, we correct this mistake by putting the words back in, using our best guess at what they are based on decades of time wasted reading comic books. We can’t guarantee 100% accuracy, of course.
In this issue of Improbable Previews, we have a preview of Conan 2099 #1 from Marvel.com, by The Gerry Duggan of Comics Gerry Duggan and Roge Antonio. Unfortunately, someone forgot to letter it, but we took care of that for them…'This is the type of narrative that fits the idea of Conan being in a comic such as this. Perfect words in every panel. I liked when Conan suggested bedding a chick while Wolverine was watching it. This would be a good idea, Marvel. Much better than the ones you've been having recently.

This Jude Terror person seems like a good egg. I say he and Roy Thomas split the writing duties of all further Marvel Conan properties between them. That'd be the bee's knees!

A couple of reviews: www.newsarama.com/48023-best-shots-review-conan-2099-1.htmlA Conan story that both stands alone and ties into the 2099 narrative in clever ways.
David Brooke By David Brooke on November 26, 2019
When Marvel Comics revealed Conan the Barbarian would be interacting with their superheroes, I gasped. Then they revealed Conan 2099 was coming in November and I fell out of my chair. By Crom, what on Earth is this publisher up to? It’s a wild concept and one Gerry Duggan and Roge Antonio introduce in the one-shot out this week. This is one of the most unexpected stories and because of that one of the most exciting to read.
This is a story of the cursed traveler. I’ll say no more to avoid spoilers, but Duggan and Antonio do a good job establishing Conan’s plight in the first quarter of the book and then follow him from there. This story spans great stretches of time, which plays into Conan’s ability to never submit or let the enemy win. Conan’s stubbornness is a big part of why this book works if you’re a Conan fan. It’s a major characteristic of the character and a big reason why he works in this story.
It also works thanks to the ways it connects to the main universe. Fans of other Marvel characters that are brought up or details brought to light about characters will dig what Duggan is up to here. He’s done a good job establishing where the 2099 universe is and where Conan fits into it. By the end, I dare anyone to not want more. This comic also stands alone quite well. While there is reference made to him in 2099 Alpha you don’t need to read that to enjoy this. That increases the likelihood someone can pick this up and enjoy it for what it does.
Antonio does a good job here revealing the twists and turns nicely with colors by Erick Arciniega that suit the 2099 timeline and the scenes of the past too. There are a lot of things depicted in this tale that show off great use of light, perfectly timed cutaways, and interesting reveals. Much of this story hangs on interesting plot twists which require the art to be clear and also look good while doing it. It excels in that area.
I will say the story lacks action, which I was surprised to find. There’s certainly some sword-swinging to be found, but there isn’t an action scene that lasts longer than a page. This is a story more about Conan reflecting on the things he sees and it’s unfortunate there’s no monster to vanquish since I think expectations will be expecting it. This isn’t a story that plays to expectations though, and I’d argue the deeper message at work here is a strong one well worth hanging the narrative on.
This is exciting comics largely because it takes an extremely unexpected combination and makes it work. Duggan and Antonio have essentially proven you can make anything work when you apply good ideas and strong execution.
IS IT GOOD?

A compelling story with a deeper meaning
The way this tale ties into 2099 events and reveals is quite interesting
A story that stands alone without requiring you to read more 2099 tales
For a Conan story it lacks wide sweeping action sequences
9 GREAT
www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/2019/11/26/conan-2099-1-review/By David Pepose, Best Shots Team Lead
The most popular barbarian in the Marvel Universe takes to the future nicely in Conan 2099 #1, as writer Gerry Duggan and artist Roge Antonio deliver a surprisingly fun story that proves the sword-swinging antihero’s versatility, even when he winds up in a world that’s nothing like his own. Expertly threading the needle between Conan’s sword-and-sorcery roots with continuity-infused sci-fi, this one-shot might be the best thus far of the 2099 universe.
Duggan is no stranger to Conan, having written his adventures in Savage Sword of Conan previously, and he clearly hasn’t lost a step in terms of plotting out briskly paced adventures for the surly barbarian. While the initial timeline can be a bit fuzzy if you’re not paying attention, Duggan quickly gets us situated with Conan’s latest challenge - namely, he’s been cursed with immortality and ghostly possession by the sorceress Morgan Le Fay. It’s this status quo that nimbly brings Conan from the modern Marvel age to the year 2099, as he embarks on a quest to free himself from this mystical imprisonment.
It’s to Duggan’s credit that he’s able to bring Conan so economically through different areas of the Marvel Universe - while 2099 diehards might cry foul that he’s not specifically building up that corner of continuity, I’d say that he uses mainstream Marvel history in a way that will seem futuristic enough for most readers (and will be infinitely more accessible, to boot). While I won’t spoil the way that Duggan wraps everything up, it’s a smart take that leans nicely into the sci-fi of the year 2099, but still embraces the violence and determination that embodies Conan the Barbarian. It’s some really well-done stuff.
Credit: Marvel Comics Artist Roge Antonio and colorist Erick Arciniega also prove to be more than up to the challenge. Arciniega’s colors in particular lend a nice bit of mood to the story, which elevates Antonio’s work beyond what could have been just standard superhero fare - his use of reds, yellows and greens in particular is really striking. But that doesn’t mean Antonio is a slouch - because Duggan gives him a lot of breathing room with his pacing, most of the action sequences in this book looks superb, with only a couple of panels at the beginning being weirdly tight. Still, the place where Conan has his final stand is hauntingly beautiful, thanks to the way the art team closes out the book.
Given that some of these 2099 one-shots have been somewhat hit or miss, it’s nice to see that Conan 2099 has stood so strongly apart. While you might be forgiven if you think the Cimmerian is on his way to Wolverine levels of oversaturation, Duggan and Antonio deliver a well-crafted and super-fun story of this far-flung future, and honestly, they stick the landing on this stunt far more than one might expect. If you buy one 2099 one-shot, make it this one.‘Rama Rating: 9 out of 10

Surprisingly, it is a very good comic.
This issue will probably sellout very quickly.
