Yeah, that's one way to put it. I love the two characters, but...oy.

About the only positive for me is WW _could_give Conan's sales figures a slight boost.

Here's the link at DC: www.dccomics.com/comics/wonder-womanconan-2017/wonder-womanconan-1
Wonder Woman/Conan #1The story starts as Conan washes ashore in a strange land, and he soon comes across the formidable Princess Diana. Things take a turn for the worse when the duo find themselves dragged into a life of slavery. Similar to how Thor and The Incredible Hulk are forced to first face-off in Thor: Ragnarok, both Diana and Conan will be made to battle in the fighting pits of a slave owner named Dellos. Weaving together the ideas of myths and magic, Wonder Woman and Conan will surely be forced to work together and escape their captors when a dark magic descends. Art by: Matt Ryan, Aaron Lopresti Cover by: Darick Robertson Variant cover by:Liam Sharp Written by:Gail Simone U.S. Price:3.99 On Sale Date:Sep 20 2017 Page Count: 32

Here's a link to a Gail Simone interview at Polygon: www.polygon.com/comics/2017/7/26/16029456/wonder-woman-conan-crossover-gail-simoneIn the description for the second issue we are told that ' Diana has escaped the Cimmerian gladiator's arena'. Confusingly, in this interview Gail Simone states that 'Conan and Wonder Woman find themselves in an ancient world of magic and adventure that neither of them recognize, and they’ll have to band together to win the day'. Does that mean this series is not set in the DC universe or the Hyborian Age? Maybe, probably some kinda alternate universe? This seems interesting... If done correctly. “What I like about the two of them together is not only are they both warriors, but they’re both super-intelligent,” Simone said. “And that’s something that a lot of people don’t know about the character of Conan, is just how intelligent he is as well. He’s not just a big guy in a loincloth with a sword, going out trying to chop off heads. He’s actually a very smart, intelligent character. I think that works really well with Wonder Woman because she is a great warrior and highly intelligent as well.
“That doesn’t mean that they have the same motivations or look at things the same ways, but they learn about each other and what each other’s strengths and weaknesses are.”
"...One of the details Simone was able to share was that upon first brush, Conan mistakes Diana for someone from his past, saying that, until he realizes the truth, “You get to see Wonder Woman, a little bit, through his eyes.” I guess he'll think she's Belit!

Huh, this looks better than I expected, and I'm glad they seem to understand Conan and Wonder Woman's characters, at least that's what they seem to promise. I think I'll check out the first issue in case it turns out well. I'll admit I have a weakness for crossovers, though not just any crossovers.

Yes , I'm the same . Didn't like the idea but these pages certainly look good . Be interested when the reviews come in , trade might end up on my wish-list.
