Kind of figured they'd go here after making her such a high profile acquisition. At least it has the virtue of having never been done before. Will have to wait and see, but certainly will try itout.

I'll give it a shot.
Just hope it's better than Belit and Valeria.

Sounds good to me, hopefully Marvel can remain a little more faithful to REH's Solomon Kane and Dark Agnes. I can kinda understand all the changes with Conan - the yarns have been adapted countless times by DH, Marvel and now Glenat in comic book form. The other REH characters have been neglected for ages, it's about time they sorted it out. |

Not too sure about LUCA PIZZARI's art. He was just about OK on Kull Eternal:   |

That throne doesn't look overly topaz.

Sounds promising. I just hope it's better than the Valeria and Belit series.

That throne doesn't look overly topaz. But making it topaz would break the budget . . . Wait. Never mind. I guess it's just a lazy artist. |

I dunno why Marvel can't seem to get a top artist on any of these Conan/REH related books.
This will be an average mini series if we're lucky. I'll still give it a go and pick up the first issue but Marvel should try better with the other REH characters.
By Crom, they need to try harder with the Conan books.

I will say this till the arouchs come home.
They need to hire Benito Gallego, I doubt he costs too much. Dude draws just like Buscema.

"dude, look...Topaz."
