Let's read some barbarian you stygian dogs. Bump if you're reading.

Know oh anons...

I love this arc so far. But I'm a sucker for Thoth-Amon.

Vale of the lost Women being on the original REH stories.

>>149349646
seems legit.

Oh Conan....

MOTHER OF MITRA!

fuck you, asshole

evil sexy lady!

I done goofed a bit

fucking wizards

uh oh

Krum Va?

Then there's this asshole!

Skipping ads and variants but sharing interview

Will be sharing the next issue in a bit

>>149349817
>that last panel
Stygian villainesses all share the same weakness it seems.

Everyone's thoughts on the run so far? I've been enjoying it a lot as well as the current Savage Sword book.

Posting this ad because I'm curious if anyone is interested in the upcoming novel. I don't see much talk about the regular novels they've put out. I've read a few and thought they were okay. City of the Dead by far the best of them.

Because I never get tired of the Nemedian Chronicles.

Right so what were we doing, oh right angry slave gladiator.

>>149349932
I'm buying the issues of this run here at hue lands, and I don't regret a thing. And I liked this artist of this issue.

>>149350027
Yeah the art on this story has been solid. A huge step up from the preceding fill in art of the last arc though I still say Robert De la Torre has been t he best artist since Big John B

Walt Simonson did a one shot somewhat recently and the art was tragically bad.

Washing Conan's balls

DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOON!!

bummer

there's probably a large jungle cat related metaphor here

Oh black hair. my favorite

Absolute will.

bonk

HIIIIIIIIIIS NAME IS, ZULA! THE MIC RULA! THE OLD SCHOOLA! YOU WANT A TRIP HE'LL GIVE IT TO YA!

And there's the issue. If you liked it you know where to go and what to do.

This is something that's cool. Painted version of Tower of the Elephant.

I guess I might as well share the variants after all

I thought this was all gonna take longer than it did

>>149349950

I would if my bookstore ever carries these.

>>149350312
I just use amazon myself. No real bookstores I like round here.

How did he get yeeted out of the Marvel universe?

>>149350352
a wizard did it. But in all honestly the titan run just kind of ignores that.

>>149350361
Eh, I'm cool with that. Conan's adventures are supposed to be episodic.

>>149350220
Stupid sexy lady.

>>149350387
Ditto. I wasn't a huge fan of the Savage Avengers thing. The main Conan books marvel put out in that time were okay, more so the Zubb issues, which is probably why they kept him on for titan.

>>149350210
Kind of reminds me of the scene in Almuric where Yasmeena thinks she has the hero whipped and tries to force herself on him.

you should all be reading this

>>149349932
Good stuff thanks but I wish Conan would laugh a bit more, I remember him being described as someone who enjoy life a lot. Here he's a bit too broody.

>>149352817
Yeah a lot of stories like to overplay the great melancholy angle or make him overly grim. Dude enjoyed a good laugh and merriment.

>>149349932
Yeah, it's good, better than Zubs Marvel run with the character and a lot of other pastiches.

>>149349984
doesn't seem like Fernando Dagnino got a silly epitaph like the rest of the creative team

>>149351589
Favorite stories, anons? Mines The Scarlet Citadel

>>149354046
Either Rogues In The House or Queen of the Black Coast.

>>149354046
The Tower of the Elephant.

>>149352817
He still bummed after Belit death.>>149349593

>>149349588 (OP)
A Conan book with decent art? what sorcery is this

>>149349932
>latest issue of savage sword uses AI for a mural in a scene

>>149357329
I thought that looked weird, but I just assumed it was just Zircher doing some weird Photoshop effect

>>149349932
I'm enjoying Savage more than Barbarian but my lcs doesn't regularly have it for some reason. They always have the main book at least. Is the Roy Thomas with the beastmaster babe issue still the best one so far?

>>149354046
I've always really liked "The Hour of the Dragon" and "The Devil in Iron." Xaltotun and Khosatral Khel are two of the best Conan villains. "Red Nails" is another good one; gotta love Valeria, the battle scenes, and the fight with the dragon.

>>149354823
These are pretty great too.

>>149354046
Hard to pick just one but probably Red Nails

>>149357438
>>149357329
I just read the issue. It's kind of bad. I didn't mind the CGI dinosaur in the first issue so much but this was just galling.

Thanks for story time!

>>149354046
Also, putting aside what my favorite it, the one I always use to get people into Conan is Tower of the Elephant, purely because it's just the perfect concise example of how different the character is than they might thing and a great taste of the WEIRD.

crom

Thanks

Bump>>149349588 (OP)

>>149349593
So right after queen of the black coast.

>>149349758
Their one mistake was letting him live

>>149357329
>>149358711

On the plus side, it mentioned Dagon. Who I choose to believe is the same one from HP Lovecraft.

>>149359766

I want the new graphic novel version.

>>149362351
It most certainly is the Lovecraft one, his creatures showed up in Conan numerous times. Hell I think Dagon was the main monster in the second AHNOLD movie too

>>149350229
Bros, i'm not a self insert dude but I want to see Conan bang this hottie.

>>149349694
nice

>>149354046
People in the black circle I liked it for the wizard battles. Back when magic was weird

>>149357959
since the dragon were Necromancy on dinosaur bones I like to think is a creature made of many different dinosaur parts.

>>149359766
Well, the magazine was called Weird Tales, you need that weird flaver of pulp fiction in the story, and what is weirder that a giant elephant alien man.

>>149363574
Yeah but most people these days wouldn't be rereading the old Weird Tales volumes and while I love the movie it sort of cemented an idea in the larger populaces head

Oh fuck yeah bump. I'll read as much conan as you'll post.

>>149349588 (OP)
bump for discussion

>>149349588 (OP)
How Canon is Conan?

>>149355576
>>149359766
Tower of the Elephant always seems to be the frontrunner for premier Conan story when it's brought up. Not that I'm complaining. On top of the weirder elements making it unique I think Conan vs the spider guard is one his best fights.
>>149362351
>I want the new graphic novel version
Is this something that exists? Or a story you want adapted soon? I might be in the minority but I thought the recent Frost Giant's Daughter adaptation was one of the best comic versions we've gotten of that story. Would love to see them do Tower

>>149349593
thanks anon.

Bumping with one of Conan's best moments

>>149365976
Nice, thanks anon.

>>149349593
Still one of the coolest intros.

Don't worry about it.

>>149365183
>Is this something that exists?
I believe he's referring to this
>>149350276

>>149367675

Yup, that one.

>>149366792
How have I not heard this album before? I am way out of my metal prime.

>>149367675
>>149367719
Thanks, anons I'm really looking forward to this
>>149367894
It only came out last year and didn't make any waves from what I saw. Shame because it's a great album

>>149368022
>It only came out last year and didn't make any waves from what I saw. Shame because it's a great album
makes sense. A lot of stuff just kind of appears out of nowhere these days

>>149350165
yeah Bummer

set take you all

>>149349588 (OP)
Oh yeah, let's go
CROM

>>149349932
Pretty good so far

Man I wish that PS3 Conan game got a remaster.

>>149357636
I like Hour of the dragon because is a fun glove trotting adventure though many locations, my only gripes with it is that the final battle is kind of mid. Scarlet citadel at least has Conan fight the evil wizard that was behind everything.

>>149365976
I recognize the scene from one of the books, If I remember correctly Conan ends up of of breath after this, his monologue was more to spite the other guy. Which is something I like for all of Conan badassery he is still a man just a stronger that average one.

>>149370290
I wish we got a new real Conan game. Were you play AS Conan. I played the MMO and had some fun with Exiles but they always felt more Conan adjacent.

>>149370518
>Blood trickled down his broad breast from the wounds Baal-pteor's finger nails had torn in the skin of his neck. His black hair was damp, sweat ran down his face, and his chest heaved. For all his vocal scorn of Baal-pteor's strength, he had almost met his match in the inhuman Kosalan. But without pausing to catch his breath, he exerted all his strength in a mighty wrench that tore the sword from the magnet where it clung.
Correct, anon

>>149370518
in the prose that guy was a superhumanly strong member of a superhumanly storng tribe who regularly twisted peoples heads off.
Also he was supposed to be Indian but they always draw him as black

>>149369763
Savage!

>>149354046
>Tower of the Elephant
peak atmosphere and lore
>The Devil in Iron
if you read this, you've read most "damsel in distress" stories, this one just has extra spice
>Rogues in the House
best for action
>Pool of the Black One
Classic story of Conan in his Pirate days and it also has a scene that could come straight from an Indiana Jones movie

Also, read most stories, but try to drink everytime:
>giant snake
>giant spider
>wizard is the evil king or controls the king
>curvy woman falls for conan
>"civilized people are all cowards?!"

>>149350229
That's a really cliche line. Should have gone with the theme of the (good) movie. Not like this comic isn't constantly using optics from it. Steel and flesh are weak without a strong will. I mean, Conan shook off a wizards power in that movie.

>>149372930
You want a mans drinking game? Drink everytime a large cat comes up.

>>149373838
Mother of Mitra I'm blind

>>149373873
With your panther-like strength you can drink one more.

>>149373908
Derketo's taint!

>>149375437
Iron Shadows is a goodie

>>149375456
Yeah it's great. One of Conan's best intros

bumping for readers

>>149349682
lol at Conan's expression in the bottom left there
>I swear, these wenches are all the same
>it's all "oh I am so submissive and nubile, please take me oh mighty barbarian savior!"
>don't they think about romance any more?

>>149349925
Frankly ALL the villainesses do. I can't think of a one that wasn't immediately "fuck this dude is trouble, better kill him asap." It's pretty much always "hello, a real man? Better drop my nonexistent pants immediately. I'm sure I can still control this one."

>>149350256
Ayyy, Zula! My mind briefly went to Sonja for some reason despite that obviously not being even slightly possible, but it turns out it was another one of Marvel Conan's DEI traveling buddies.

Wonder if he'll be any more sorcerous than he was back then? Actually, having only read some of those classic Marvel Conan issues, has he actually shown up at all since the... 80's? Early 90's? Whenever it was.

>>149363574
It's not just weird for it's inter-dimensional elephant man, it's also a good example of Conan's "softer" side. Conan is genuinely moved by the Elephant's plight and fate. It forms the emotional core of his motivation for the climax. Those tend to be some of the best Conan stories, when the facade cracks a bit and you get a glimpse of the strong heart beating beneath his stoney face, fueling feelings beyond merely lust and bloodlust.

>>149377098
>it's also a good example of Conan's "softer" side.
Which is pretty important since at the start of the story he straight up shanks a dude for talking shit.

>fueling feelings beyond merely lust and bloodlust.
Great melancholy and great mirth indeed

>>149377085
>has he actually shown up at all since the... 80's? Early 90's? Whenever it was.

He was a regular character in the animated series and was in the second movie.... sorta. But beyond that no. Honestly I'm actually a bit surprised Titan even got the rights to him at all. I like the guy, but Conan was never really famous for having a strong supporting recurring cast.

>>149372253
this books were fun I read years ago.
