King Conan: The Conqueror #1 Review Roundup!

02/27/2014 3:55pm
In the port city of Messantia, the deposed, fugitive Conan could uncover the key to regaining his throne—or he could get a knife in the back! Conan follows a lead to a lost relic, revisits an old friend, and finds that he’s not alone in his risky hunt for a missing, magical gem.


"King Conan the Conqueror #1 is a book that will probably only be enjoyed by those who are already big fans of the character Conan the Barbarian. It's such a shame as this book deserves an audience as large as the big name Marvel and DC comics that in all honesty are nowhere near as good, both in terms of character portrayals, artwork, story and the raw, visceral impact that this book is delivering. This is a book that roars. It's roaring now at all of the inferior books out there. It's roaring at all of the comic book readers as well, but how many of them will hear the roar and decide to investigate what is going on for themselves?" - Geeked Out Nation

"The artwork of Tomas Giorello is very detailed and keeps the pace the story has set nicely. The environments are detailed and very much alive on page, and the characters are portrayed with emotion and movement. There are a few fight scene pages that truly leap off the page and show just how visceral and brutal the movement and violence of a fight with Conan would actually be like." - Big Comic Page

"Bottom line here: this was an amazing issue of King Conan: The Conqueror at a time when I thought I was legitimately done with this character and everything surrounding him. This comic really makes me remember what it was that originally drew me to the Barbarian. The sense of fun, larger than life gonzo action, imaginative storytelling, and a kind of high fantasy approach that's grounded in big characters and 80s machismo that's just infectiously delicious; highly recommended." - Front Towards Gamer
