2 posts | 1 read

Sent back in time to the Thurian Age, Conan battles terrifying creatures and meets Kull the Conqueror, a barbarian-king as strong as himself. Although these two legends begin at odds, they quickly realize they must quest together to stop the dark machinations of Thulsa Doom, an ancient necromancer who has contacted a mysterious evil beyond time and space to strengthen his already impressive power. This action-packed third volume of Conan the Barbarian is written by award-winner Jim Zub (Dungeons & Dragons, Avengers) with dynamic, pulp-infused artwork by Roberto de la Torre (Thunderbolts, Ms. Marvel)! Collects Conan the Barbarian #9-12 “A must-read for fans of Conan and classic sword-and-sorcery tales.” – Comical Opinions “Absolutely fantastic… You have got to read this comic book…” - Comic Book University

Conan the Barbarian Volume 3: The Age Unconquered | Jim Zub

Four #LibraryHaul GNs this week, of which Conan was the best, precisely capturing the classic sword & sorcery aesthetic, by Crom!
The Star Wars book was unreadable and I bailed. The Force was weak in that one!
Venom was ok, a flashback to the Lethal Protector's early career, featuring Silver Sable & Nick Fury, with Doctor Doom the antagonist. Workmanlike rather than inspired.

Bookwomble Eat the Rich is ok as a horror comic, if cannibalism is your thing. As social commentary on how the 1% feed off the 99%, & how the latter are complicit in their exploitation, it was better, if very much on the nose.
A mixed bag, overall. 2w

This is volume three of Zub's "Black Stone" storyline of Conan comics, and while I haven't read the previous two volumes, it doesn't really matter - I'd guess he's had to fight wizards and monsters, flexing his "mighty thews"?? and killing anyone and anything within reach of his sword ?ļø¸
That said, it's exactly what I want from a Conan comic, and - Bonus! This one sees him cast back in time 80,000 years to Valusia and an encounter with ā¬‡ļø¸

Bookwomble ... Kull of Atlantis! ?
Further fan service with an appearance by Yag-Kosha, the elephant-headed alien from Robert E. Howard's original Conan story, "The Tower of the Elephant".
All told, an excellent (if at one point gratuitously sexist) adventure, and I hope my library has more in this series. 2w
