It's a good introductory tale. While "Issue #0" gave a framing backstory of young Conan at Velitrium, issue #1 picks up a new storyline in mid-early in Conan's career, when he has "24 summers" and is 8 years into his wandering the Hyborian world.
The original story itself sets up an enjoyable number of Conan tale themes, or tropes. The brawl in the tavern. Sticking up for lost comrades. Disdain of authority. A warrior woman. Hordes of foes, with hinted dark sorcery control.
The installment seems short at 22 pages, but maybe that's because it's enjoyable.
To be continued, of course..
The artwork is fantastic and worth the price of purchase. It harkens back to the vivid style of Savage Sword rather than Dark Horse. Swords sing and heads fly! A promising start from Titan, Zub, De La Torre, and Villarubia.
