Variant Cover by REBEKAH ISAACS: "Dear Diary,
I'm so lonely. I kill and I sacrifice and still I can't meet a nice boy. Sigh. There's a ship on the horizon. I guess I'll try again.
Belit.
P.S. Am I pretty?"
Fuck this cover is shit in so many ways. The first is no great feat either. I don't even want to pick up this issue because of them.

This looks to be the SJW release-valve series. Marvel couldn't be content with ol' toxic Conan in three different comics. It took me all of two seconds on Google to realize the author, Tini Howard, is probably the last person who should write anything in the Hyborian Age.

I decided to be nice and go back and read the article linked back in the other thread about her influences. It actually wasn't too bad, some interesting and relevant material, until I got to this: Tini Howard: Pirates are goth. Pirates are really goth! We love stripes and eyeliner and black stuff with skulls on it. There are things lurking in the deep and lots of long, unkempt hair and an absolute fearlessness of death. Pirates are very goth and my book about pirates is pretty goth. As I said in the other thead: Ummm.........no. Is this REALLY this hard to get a handle on?

I doubt she's interested in getting a handle on it. she doesn't give two shits about source material and Marvel's not going to make her.
To varying degrees, nobody adapting Howard before this really cared much about it either though. remember Conan the Adventurer?

The covers make these look like teen romance comics.

She's clearly watched Pirates of the Carribean too many times. Pirates are not goth. Johnny Depp has ruined pirates.

Maybe they are laying the groundwork for a new movie series Walt Disney's Pirates of the Black Coast

Variant Cover by REBEKAH ISAACS: Belit deserves better than that.

It's kinda strange that we've still not seen any artwork for this mini-series. They seem a little too reluctant for my liking, we should of seen something by now, concept/character designs or something along those lines.

Most of the stuff we've seen from Savage Sword has been directly from Ron Garney, right? Officially there's been a preview and article, both around a month out from the release date. I'd say within two weeks we should see something from Marvel art-wise for the Belit series. Plus I think this may be a little further down on their pecking list compared to the main Conan books.

Yeah, I guess this book is a little further down in the pecking order, but, by now I'd expect at least a character study of Bêlit by Kate Niemczyk.

Marvel is taking with this series the same route that led Dark Horse to the botton of the ocean.

I hope Marvel has the sense to cut the series off if it drags everything down.

I hope Marvel has the sense to cut the series off if it drags everything down. At least it's only 5 issues...
