So far, so great on both Conan books currently being released by Marvel. The foundation book,
Conan The Barbarian by Aaron & Asrar has been great so far, especially with its continuing thread, taking place both at the beginning & end of Conan's career with The Crimmson Witch. The sister book,
The Savage Sword Of Conan has been equally impressive by Duggan & Garney. Bloody, fun, respectful stuff by both teams.
I must admit, I'm extremely curious to se how Marvel tackles the upcoming Conan' appearance in a modern Marvel tale with their
Avengers, No Road Home mini-series which deals with Hercules & his Olympus roots. Not to mention, Rocket Raccoon, Vision, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch & a few more modern heroes.
I've always been appreciative of how Marvel, back in the day, & Dark Horse never mixed Conan with any of their other books except in the old What-If books. Coan's a stand-alone, imo, although I did love his Elric of Melnibone team-up back in the 70's. ANyway, I've been buying No Road Home just to see how Mavel pulls this off. Sofar, the book's been pretty good & we shall see if they muck things up with a Conan role.
Which, in turn will lead to this .....("gulp")
