  First 2 pages ... Thanks for the preview bichoes78! Roberto's art explodes onto the page! While his main influence may be Buscema, there's also a little Krenkel in his style imho, and as Jim Zub observed in the recent interview some Frazetta too. I like the art team titles on the splash page.  |

Well, that certainly looks promising.

Picked it up today, my son liked the art. The local store will be carrying the series, so I'll become a regular.

I thought it was great! Hopefully the ongoing series follows the same model.
This artwork deserves nothing less than the very best plots, though. The Marvel return pastiche style should be left in the past. Zub was the best of those writers but this #0 issue feels like he's upped his game.

It seems the fur-kini is here to stay though. Brian and Becky left not a ripple in the ongoing saga…

I have just read it and I like it too.
The atmosphere is gloomy and that fits Conan perfectly.
I still wish for a black and white presentation because the art looks even more beautiful.

I got a bit sidetracked yesterday. I barely managed to get to my Local Comic store an hour before they closed. Just in time to grab the last copy they had. I'm about to read it now, from what I'm hearing, I'm really looking forward to it.

I love Belit's furkini, especially considering the rendition in this comic is like the one by BIG John.

It looks like we will get a black & white magazine-sized comic book next year, on the 40th anniversary of SSOC. Check out the video link below from Howard Days: |

Wow, a black and white series, magazine size, called Savage Sword of Conan aimed for the mature audiences is just what Conan needs to be very successful.
It hasn't been done in decades.
Great news.

Check out the video link below from Howard Days: That black and white picture of Salomon Kane (5:30) is the standard by which everything Conan must be measured. It is beautiful, it is so well done, it resimbles classic Conan and I bet someone would find anything off about that picture. Great direction to take. |

Why I like the SSoC news, this also kind of indicates that there won't be another series out before 2024 - and it may not be early 2024 either when this comes out.
Was kind of expecting them to put out some other REH characters' (mini) series or do semi-regular Savage Sword of REH type releases. But maybe it will come.
