I try to like
Conan, I really do.....I was excited when I heard of the new
Conan The Barbarian series by
Dark Horse Comics, following on the heels of the Conan movie
(that I enjoyed). The announcement that
Brian Wood (who wrote the acclaimed Northlanders series from Vertigo) would be writing and that
Becky Cloonan would do artwork further perked my interest. Then I opened and read issue #1.......
It's well-written, well-drawn, and entertaining.
Robert E. Howard's
"Queen of the Black Coast" story is one of the most-requested, highly anticipated arcs from the legacy of Conan, and it does not disappoint. However, it just didn't
"do it" for me. I don't know why.....
