Rating: 5 Stars

CONAN THE BARBARIAN #4

Conan The Barbarian #4 (Marvel)

Jason Aaron (w) Gerado Zaffino (a)

The sag of the crimson witch continues as we flash back to when Conan was King and a very bored barbarian he became. Under his rule the Kingdom saw peace and prosperity but Conan fell ill by the lack of action so on a whim and with a Lion in toe becomes an Avenger of the night sneaking out the palace to confront villainy!

And slash a little it has to be said.

And so the killing blood in his veins grows to feed the rebirth of a dead god.

Rating: 3 Stars 



Red Sonja #2 (Dynamite)

Mark Russell (w) Mirko Kirlak (a)

I've saved the best until last. Sonja has been tricked into trying to lead the Hykanians to victory or at least survive the invasion of a man who has already conquered half the world in order to save himself from a curse.

The characterisation of the villain Dragan the Magnificent is brilliant as is Sonja's cunning when confronted with a vastly superior force than she has. This will be a long march to win or maybe lose but it's clear that "his magnificence" will not have it easy.

No spoilers.

Rating 5 Stars
