The story didn't feel much like Conan and Corben's artwork is absolutely horrible. Giorello saves this from getting 1 star. Easily the one to avoid in the series.

This is the largest of the Conan books so far but it is space that is well used. The primary adventure - Conan returning to his homeland - is not a long story but the book supplements this narrative with a flashback story about Conan's grandfather Connacht. The grandfather features heavily in this book. He's given his own story arc that parallels Conan's and an incident concerning the patriarch and werewolves plays front and center in Conan's present. It was Connacht that first set Conan's mind

After six excellent volumes of Conan adventures, Truman, Giorello, and Corben return the adventurer to his birthplace. Within Giorello's beautifully rendered stories, Truman and famed underground comic artist Corben, creator of the mythical Den, explore the life of Conan's grandfather Connacht. Complete with the appearance of Conan's first love, a meeting with his mother, supernatural nasties, and lots of bloody violence, the rollicking good adventure of Conan Volume 7: Cimmeria offers a new add...

The different artwork showcasing the different stories was a good narrative device, but I found the "flashback" artwork to be much less interesting than the current story. In the Robert E. Howard books, I don't believe that Conan ever returned to Cimmeria, so most of this story (if not all) is from Timothy Truman. Still very good and it gives you a measure of Conan's growth as a character through the series.

Truman shows us a different view of Conan. Conan is weary of the world and returns to Cimmeria. Each issue also contains flashbacks of his grandfather's voyages by Richard Corbin. I liked actually seeing some history of Conan's. So little of the stories are more than just here's a big bad, now go kill it.

Uzun yıllardır kendi efsanemin, belki de çocukken çizgi roman hayatıma yönelirken beni benden alan CONAN'ın peşine düşmek istedim. Marmara Çizgi'nin bakış açısına, yayıncılık anlayışına, kitaplarına olan güvenim de buradan başlamama vesile oldu açıkcası. İlk ciltte alışılmadık bir başlangıç var. Doğum, ailesini kaybedişinden daha farklı ilerlemiş ve başka diyarlara değil kendi evine dönen bir savaşçının yerel hikayesi. Büyük bir heyecanla iknci cilde geçeceğim.

By Crom! A triumph.Timothy Truman and the artists who worked on this volume bring their very best to the much anticipated tale of Our Loincloth-clad Hero's homecoming. The alternation between two very different pencillers for the stuff in the present and the telling of grampa Connacht's story really worked for me, as well, giving the old man's memories a "larger than life" feel that seemed appropriate.Also, the through-line of wolves and companionship was made even more poignant by reading the a...

Truman and Giorello do another great job here. As I've indicated in reviews of earlier volumes this is my first extended experience of Conan, and as weird as it seems to me I've never directly experienced Howard. I've only read the old Marvel Conan (an issue here or there), may be a single complete magazine of Savage Sword about twenty-five/twenty-six years ago, and one Robert Jordan Conan novel. It just seems strange given my compulsion for reading things "in order." But after the long digressi...

This was a brilliant start to a new volume of Conan. I love the artwork and the story was very intriguing. I've read this series a couple times and keep going back to it.This was also the first time I read any Richard Corben, and I've since become obsessed with his artwork - so bonus points for that.

El séptimo volumen recopilatorio de la adaptación al cómic de la saga de Conan en Dark Horse es realmente especial. De entrada, representa un sueño hecho realidad para muchos fans del personaje: ver al legendario Richard Corben coger los lápices para dibujar un cómic de Conan. Sin embargo, tal como cuenta José Villarrubia en el prólogo, este sueño está teñido de decepción, ya que Corben no cuenta una historia de Conan como tal, sino una serie de flashbacks sobre las desventuras del abuelo de Con...

The introduction and afterword alone are terrific lessons in the lore and history behind the creation of Conan. Timothy Truman (who's put in time with Creepy) and Giorello are a great team, there's just no two ways about it. Great homage to the poem Cimmeria by REH. An excellent bridge to the epic of Conan's life by having him go home, only to find out that life is just as complicated there as in the shining cities of civilization. Also really dug the werewolf and his role in helping Conan.

This is the first volume of the comics that isn't based on a Conan story or even on fragment. Rather, it's mostly based on the poem Cimmeria by Howard. One of Howard's letters, and A Probable Outline of Conan's Career, which received Howard's approval after some small edits, also mentions a brief time he spent in Cimmeria before wanderlust took him again and he returned to the south. Perhaps to avoid inventing too much, most of Cimmeria isn't about Conan at all. It's about his grandfather Connac...

Truman's run on Conan gets even worse with a hamfisted return to Cimmeria that feels so off-the-rails that it seems more like well-meaning fan fiction than a worthy addition to anything considered canon. Conan returns to Cimmeria in a great leap backward for the character and a narrative that gives us little care about or believe in. Moreover, Corben's art - while many love it - just feels extremely misplaced here.

Conan se na chvíli vrací zpátky domů, což je příležitost k tomu dozvědět se více o Conanovu dědečkovi, který na něj měl velký vliv. Tyhle části nakreslil Richard Corben a i díky tomu se povedly úplně neskutečně, tahle kresba prostě ke Conanovi sedne. Další výborné pokračování skvělé série.

Great art by Richard Corben.The story is also good. Above average for a Conan book.

Conan: Cimmeria is volume 7 of the excellent Dark Horse Books, Conan graphic-novel series. This volume continues the high standards set by the previous six volumes. Actually, I believe Cimmeria achieves even higher standards than the previous volumes. Truman’s story is complex, but enchanting and captivating. It also provides the reader with a different view of the legendary barbarian. We learn something about Conan’s family and his childhood. The mighty warrior returns to his homeland, Cimmeria...

Fantastic artwork in this dual-narrative story of Conan's return to Cimmeria and the story of his grandfather's travels around the Hyperborian world generations before. I am really enjoying this series.

As with most readers of this volume, I was desperately hoping for a rebound from the low-point of the series, Hand of Nergal. I continued to be skeptical until the 3rd or 4th sub-arc in this volume, when I found myself completely drawn in, loving the art, loving the characters, and loving the story. This is a tale of a disillusioned Conan returning to his roots, not knowing what he seeks, but knowing he is through with the supposedly wondrous lands of the South. Along the way, he meets foes and

Tim Truman and a team of artists continue the great Dark Horse run on Conan, telling a story of the barbarian's return to Cimmeria interspersed with tales of his grandfather's sometimes-parallel journeys. It provides interesting texture to the character and fleshes out the land of Conan's birth. Truman quotes directly from Robert E. Howard to establish that he's working in homage to the original author while adding his own elements to the myth of Conan. Fine stuff.

The new Conan comic series does good justice to the Robert E. Howard stories. While the art does come and go in quality at time, overall it is a good. The adaptations of the original stories is well done. The fill in stories are also well done and follow the flow of the Character's life as written by Howard. Recommended to comic fans and Very recommended to Howard and Conan fans.
