From Dark Horse's website: www.darkhorse.com/Comics/27-959/King-Conan-Wolves-beyond-the-Border-4Joining forces with the Pictish witch Nai (from Dark Horse’s original Conan series), King Conan and his old lover hope to defeat several tribes of renegade Picts seeking to unite and invade Aquilonia. A prized legendary relic could turn the tide in their struggle, and both sides will have to face the horrific “Children of the Night” in this final issue! “This book is dirty, nasty, gritty, and quite possibly the best Conan book Dark Horse Comics has ever put out.”—Newsarama “King Conan is a triumph of execution, that places worthwhile odds within our hero’s epic quest. Highly recommended.”—Unleash the Fanboy CREATORS Writer: Timothy Truman Artist: Tomas Giorello Colorist: Jose Villarrubia Cover Artist: Tomas Giorello Genre: Action/Adventure, Fantasy Publication Date: March 30, 2016 Format: FC, 32 pages; Miniseries Price: $3.99 UPC: 7 61568 27956 6 00411

Are those "Children of the Night" the same from the homonymous REH's tale, or are them the same from "People of the Darkness" (also by Howard)?

So Kwarada did kill her own son. Kinda saw that one coming in the last issue (though given every thing has done that it's not bad.) I think they could have done 5 issues at the very least

Nice, Bril is still kicking ass despite being wounded last issue.
Damn and I going to miss looking forward to a Giorello and Truman Conan comic at the end of every month.
Dark Horse, get them on something else ASAP.

I think DH is waiting to see how it ends. I said it before, but Giorello told me that they weren't sure whether dark horse would authorize another series.

Just read the last issue - kinda disappointed it's over. But I have a feeling Truman and Giorello will probably be back for the last adventures of Conan in the nameless western continent!

They better be back! This was damn good. If they don't get to adapt the remaining major REH yarns, they better get to tell the original King Conan story they set up at the end of this issue.
I'm bummed this is over, but we did get 4 ass-kicking issues.
How about that Dagon name-drop? Bran! So much good shit in here.

Damn, I loved this issue, especially the Lovecraft references and the tying together of Kull, Conan, & Brak. Given the constraints, this was a good mini -- a bit rushed at four issues and a bit pat in how the dispute was resolved at the end. But overall, I was pleased. I love the Truman/Giorello team! In a sane and just universe, they would be allowed to adapt Conan stories with impunity for as long as they are able.

Excellent issue, and I liked the R'lyeh reference, as well as Bran Mak Morn appearing at the tail end. My only complaint was that this series wasn't longer! I crave more from this creative team, by Crom!

One of the best Conan creative teams ever in my opinion. It can't be over for them, what a loss that would be.
And how about the full page Two-Gun Bob! Jeez, I love those strips!

And how about those four covers by Giorello? Four of the best covers of recent years. His best works recently too. I`m positive this team will be adapting Beyond the Black River in a six issue arch pretty soon. And it will be a treat!!! I just hope this team will be making their best work ever. I`m always willing for something more.

Others may disagree with me, but I am tired of Old King Conan. I hope to see no more of his nostalgic reminiscences. I hope WBtB will be in the "present tense".
