This adaptation of Rogues in the House is what got me to grab a whole bunch of Dark Horse Conan comics to begin with. I like how they fleshed out the middlepoint rebel assassins a little: in the original story they really had nothing to do in here.I really don't like the art in this one, though, and the other stories are less interesting.
The second book in the series which is just meh. The previous books had me feeling almost as if I was reading Howard, this book not so much. Something was missing...I'm not sure if i'll continue with this series, maybe i'll try the next one... we'll see.
Before I start my review of this graphic novel version of Robert E. Howard's classic Conan story, "Rogues in the House" I need to mention that "Rogues..." is probably my all time favorite Robert E. Howard story, and certainly my all time favorite Conan story. I also thought the Marvel Comics version Rogues in the House & Other Stories writen by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor Smith is in my opinion the very best of the Marvel Comics Conan stories, so Dark Horse comics had it's work c...
Great volume, no dip in quality due to the change of writers to be seen here!Conan going up against scheming priests and wizards always delivers, and this time was no exception.
Autor v této knize dokončuje příběh, který nakousl na konci té předchozí "Síně mrtvých". Je to plus skrz hodně nedořešených věcí z minulé knihy. Každopádně k této knize mohu říci, že je velmi dobře čtivá a odpočinková. Cítím zde sice mírný pokles v plynulosti vyprávění ale síla předlohy je velká. Na druhou stranu si zde autor hodně vyhrál s detaily což musím pochválit.
Another great volume, although Busiek didn't write this. Still, this is another wonderful volume.
I think it's a mark of how much impact Rogues in the House had on me that I didn't remember anything about it at all until halfway through this book. The intro in the collection talks about the new writer taking over and the responsibility of adapting Conan to a comic format, and while I didn't notice a major difference in the narrative or storytelling from the new writer, I do think that the story suffered in one respect--the curse placed on Nestor the Gunderman, that he would eventually betray...
Za mě opět plný počet. Autoři se tu víc snaží o provázání s předchozími (i následujícími) příběhy a titulní povídka je prostě delikatesa.
Balls of Bel and Mitra's shaft! This tale of skullduggery and roustabouts, vagabonds and chicanery has been etched onto my very soul! I feel like Conan is almost fantasy's best kept secret that's right out there in the open; everyone has heard of Conan or at least has some second hand exposure to him through Arnold's portrayal or just through the archetype in pop culture. But that's not Robert E. Howard's Conan. That's not really Conan. It's funny, a good friend of mine who's also a fan was read...
Continued great art, great story. The intersection and divergence of some of the arcs do interrupt some of the flow, from time to time, and the Rogues in the House arc seemed to have been long for a "short story". Otherwise, great!
I'm sensing a slight decline in quality with this one. The transition to a new writer seemed a little shaky and I don't care for the new artist. I'll stick with it for a couple more to see if it rights itself.
Graphics were good and likeable...story line was not what it could have been...I might read anoter one...
This book introduces a new creative team with Timothy Truman taking over the writing duties. There is no drop in quality as Truman seems to understand not only the character he had inherited but also the world that the characters inhabit and the also what Ron Howard was trying to say with Conan. This book goes to show that major changes can be made in an ongoing series without losing anything - something that is not common enough in the world of comics.Truman was lucky to begin his run with a pe...
Following Kurt Busiek's departure from Conan, Timothy Truman steps in as writer, but still enjoys the power of Cary Nord's artwork for a collection of tales that excites and engrosses. There's some terrific Howard adaptation in here and the liberties taken around the original material are both fun and welcome.
One of my favorite Robert E. Howard Conan stories. Done very well. An excellent Graphic Novel.
great stories...
This feels like the book has truly hit its stride. I enjoyed the Busiek and Nord issues, but I loved this collection by Truman and Giorello. I don't know if it's the art the pushed this one up to five for me, or what exactly makes the difference but this was wonderful. The continuance of the Nestor story in the background for one thing, giving us a character besides Conan to hang onto as the book moves forward, the story itself, which was fascinating and clearly echoed a number of the Barbarian
With the change in authors and artists, there was quite a lot of concern as to the future of this so-far-excellent series from Darkhorse. To me, most of those concerns can be put to rest. The story continues to develop nicely, with nary a hitch between this one and its predecessor. The art, while noticeably different, maintains the same overall feeling of the previous books. And Conan keeps being Conan.In this volume, Conan and his friends, Nestor and Jiara, continue their adventures in Zamora,
Conan, Vol.5: Rogues in the House and Other Stories by Timothy Truman, Cory Nord, Tomas Giorello is a graphic novel that is part of Dark Horse Books Conan series. I first read Conan novels by Robert E. Howard when I was a teenager in the late 1960s. Howard’s stories of the noble Cimmerian were filled with ruthless action from the fierce warrior, explorer, thief, and barbarian. Conan was indeed a barbarian, but he followed an unwritten code of conduct (honor among thieves) and although he acquire...
