Ezelden beridir Conan'cıyım. Özellikle Marmara Çizgi'nin eski ve yeni Conan fasiküllerini toparlamaya çalışıyorum. Bu kaliteli basıma, birbirinden güzel çizimlere sahip serinin ilk iki kitabını okumuştum. Ancak hemen ifade etmeliyim ki üçte bulduğum Conan görselliğini diğerlerinde (naçizane fikrim) bulamamıştım. Bu cilt özel bir yer edindi benden. Bir güzel haber de İthaki Yayınları'ndan geldi; "Conan'ın gerçek doğuş hikayesi olan romanları basılacak." Hatta ilk kitap çıktı bile. Umarım gelecek

By the black heart of Crom I swear this is one of the absolute best in the series, and one of the best stories I've read. I mean, to create such an incredible story from mere hints and fragments of REH's writings on this particular arc is just astounding. Man, I really can't get over how good this collection is - even rivaling some of the earlier (and amazing) Kurt Busiek run. Tim Truman and Tomas Giorello really deserve some accolades for this. Seriously, if you love Conan, if you love adventur...

A tale well told, by Crom! Artistic irregularities were not as well-handled here as in the volume Cimmeria, but the bounce back between the humbled, wounded Conan in the swamp and the height of his (thus far) fortune was interesting, and the prince he faces off with is a worthy adversary as opposed to the usual cackling sorcerers...making his eventual downfall all the more satisfying when Our Man from Cimmeria gets his act together at last!

Conan: Free Companions is another excellent Conan graphic novel from Dark Horse Books. Writer Timothy Truman and artists Tomas Giorello and Joe Kubert, with color artist Jose Villarrubia, expand upon “events alluded to in Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories” to produce original new stories in this book. It has the requisite savage battles and warfare, the villainous treachery, and the sorcery that are part of all authentic Conan stories. The story depicts Conan as the commander of a large army. How...

Another fine entry into the Dark Horse line of Conan comics. This one takes a lot of crap on Amazon for poor art but it's hard to say anything bad about Joe Kubert, even if his finished art looks a little too loose at times in this volume. What's more off putting here are Tim Truman's pencils, which I like in most settings but here he seems to have a really hard time making Conan's head not look like a upside down bucket, and, more offensively, his coloring. He colors, apparently, the Joe Kubert...

This one was great. I loved the use of flashback. Flashback is overused at times, and the disastrous occurrence followed by the flashback to how the character/characters got there is nothing terribly new, but it is around a lot because it's effective and Truman and Giorello use it to great effect hereIt was fun to see a good long sequence from Joe Kubert, too. I know he's a classic Conan artists, but he's one I know primarily through a few random pinups and ads for his cartooning school. Nice to...

Truman's Conan fan fiction debacle continues, only now, Joe Kubert's art only makes things worse. His record speaks for itself, and his style is great when applied to the right subject matter, but here, it just looks sketchy and rushed. What a shame.

Loved itClassic Conan. Violent and filled to the brim of Conan's style. You finish it as quickly as it pulls you in

It's an impossibly hard act to follow Roy Thomas, Buscema, Chan and the myriad of other fantastic inkers who have tread these Hyborean lands before.

More Dark Horse Conan goodness. Thank you, Hoopla.

This is another comics-original story, but I liked it more than the others almost entirely due to the way it's told. The book starts out with Conan alone on a river, surrounded by corpses, with a quote from a song about the battle of the Ilbar River and the slaughter that resulted. It then flashes back to the end of the previous book, with Conan chaffing in Khojara under the stresses (or lack thereof) of civilized living. His relationship with Yasmela grows strained as his barbarian ways express...

The narrative is well-paced and interesting and the artwork is wonderful from both artists. Requires a little more suspension of disbelief than many of the others, even given the sword and shield fantasy backdrop. Too many soldiers involved in the battle sequences. Five hundred men under Conan's command would have made much more sense than five thousand.Still very good.

Sadly the artwork does not live up to the earlier books (volume 7) excepted. Compared to the earlier volumes, the artwork here looked poor and the storyline was extremely weak. The volume felt very transitional, as if the writers had painted themselves into a corner with the ending of Black Colossus and needed to find a means to force the storyline onwards and move Conan on. Here's hoping the next volume lives up to the promise of the earlier volumes

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.

Conan inherits a mercenary army only to shortly lose it after they pillage the wrong area, and are double crossed by traitors have joined a band of pirates. Not as good as the volume before it, but was good still.
