Since his exile from the Hyborian Age, Conan the Barbarian has conquered the most dangerous foes the modern Marvel Universe has to offer—but what happens when this hard-edged Cimmerian finds himself on the run from the cybernetic soldier of the future known as Deathlok? Outgunned and outmatched, Conan must turn to an unlikely group of loners, berserkers and killers if he hopes to survive the night—but can these Savage Avengers defy Deathlok’s murderous manhunt, or will they become the next targets in the crosshairs of tomorrow?

“Making my Marvel debut with SAVAGE AVENGERS is like getting drafted to the Yankees and then being told you also get to play for the Rangers on the weekend—not only do I get to write Conan the Barbarian, one of the most iconic characters in sword and sorcery, but I get to throw him into the wildest adventures imaginable alongside a brand-new crew of Marvel fan-favorites!” Pepose said. “Teaming up Conan with Daredevil, Anti-Venom, Weapon H, Black Knight, and Cloak and Dagger allows so much personality and potential to this series, and artist Carlos Magno delivers showstopper after showstopper as he brings these characters to life—I can’t wait for readers to see what sparks fly when Conan and company are pitted against the most dangerous Deathlok of them all. Get ready to experience an epic battle of Cyborg versus Cimmerian, because this May, only the Savage will survive…”

"Working on SAVAGE AVENGERS is like a baptism of fire,” Magno added. “It's like David Pepose and I are dealing with nitroglycerin.”
Don’t miss out on a bold new beginning for Marvel’s most savage Super Heroes when SAVAGE AVENGERS #1 arrives on May 4.

Oh dear. Not for me

[terryallenuk]

Conan and the C-Listers WTF! I guess Marvel's editors throw names in a hat and just pull half a dozen out LOL

[johnnypt]

Black Knight, I get, they're trying to raise his profile for Jon Snow to make more MCU appearances. Get Cloak & Dagger and Elektra a little more time. The other two...oy...

[bonesaw]

The C-listers there are unknown to me so it might be interesting to get to know them and see how their story unfolds.

[monolith]

Marvel yet again prostituting the Conan character. I hate this shoehorning of disparate characters together. The Hyborian Age setting is any writers dream. Such a rich and detailed world exists to draw inspiration and lore from to set Conan's adventures in.

I thought with CtB, SSOC and the original run of SA ending that after the King Conan series ends we might have heard that the licence was moving from Marvel , especially with the dwindling sales. Looks like this will keep it there a bit longer!

Hoping the best, the original Savage Avengers had its moments.

I kinda thought the same once Marvel announced that they will publish the last 4 CtB omnis between March and December this year. They usually publish 2 CtB omnis each year - feels very much like what DH did when they lost the licence in their last year.

Fuck yeah! I'm in. Conan and a Suicide Squad cast of C-Listers in the Hyborian Age? Sold.

This isn't REH but could be a lot of fun.

Well, this announcement put a smile on my face, you can never get enough of Savage Avengers, will be looking out for the new series.

It is odd they’re pushing those out that quickly but the last one may slide. They also still have the rest of SSOC, two King Conan volumes, possibly additional volumes for Conan the Savage and post CTB color comics and the graphic novels. They still have a ways to go and a new SA book ensures that for a whole longer.

Looks great!

Duggan and Zircher did a great job on the initial run of Savage Avengers so I'm hoping this will keep up to the standards.
