It looks worse than Road of Kings, from Dark Horse. No, thank you. Probably aimed for the 10 year old kids. |

Looks like it's for a child's Golden Book. Only Lolos was worse

Pedant mode...
I know it's fantasy, but it'd be nice if the illustrator would have a clue about nautical technology: The ship's wheel wasn't in vogue til the 18th Century, the whipstaff being prior the means of controlling movement on sailing ships and it replaced the ancient tiller. All three would've been located in or near the aft, sometimes in an enclosed structure. Anachronism aside, the wheel looks like it's positioned amidships, so maneuvering will take longer, due to the length of rope. Do I see gunports on the other vessel? Maybe they're for ballistae/catapults a la Dungeons & Dragons, but there appears to be an abundance and spaced impractically close together...

Marvel has no confidence in this. They aren’t even offering the series thru their subscription program as they are with the two I going series. And, yes, Marvel does do subscriptions on mini series.

Kaiser-Pedant mode:
The Hyborian age nautical cultures invented the ship's wheel first. the technology was forgotten after the cataclysm, and not re-discovered until the 18th century.

Boy they do seem to love their guns in this new Hyborian Age, don't they? It also seems one of the long lasting damages from the DH QotBC is the idea that Belit's ivory skin means she's as pale as Casper the Friendly Ghost. Olivier's take is refreshing in comparison.
As I posted earlier: ummm............no.
