  Last time, it was a Batman game that got a 3D motion boost by being on the back of DC's Villains Month titles. Well, for the Futures End 3D Motion covers, it's Conan O'Brien's late night show that's getting the 3D boost, appearing on the back of all the DC New 52 titles this month, including[...]

Dark Horse has the Conan license, Dynamite has the Red Sonja license But luckily the two know how to work together… Last year it was announced that there would be a crossover between the two properties written by Gail Simone and Brian Wood. Although, to smooth troubled waters, they may need a different writer. Hence Jim Zub being[...]

But that's life, and we fucking love comics, so we'll make it work. DD: What would you say were some of the inspirations and influences on Dark Engine? RB: The first Conan movie, along with Basil Poledouris' soundtrack That perfect prose that one finds in Cormac McCarthy novels Herbert's Dune. God of War[...]

Joe Rauch hosted Wilfredo Torres (The Shadow, Lobster Johnson), Tim Truman (Conan), and Frank Barbiere (Five Ghosts, Solar) in discussion. Frank Barbiere said that pulp tradition is largely the "aesthetic" of Five Ghosts and said, "It's amazing what aesthetics can do in terms of reception" It also helps to bring a "unifying theme" of pulp under[...]

The panel kicked off with some exciting news, Groo was going to finally do battle with that other somewhat less famous barbarian, Conan Next Aragonés announced that for Mad he is currently working on A Mad Look at Captain America Evanier then commented that Jack Kirby wouldn't be getting royalties for that either[...]

 During the uprising he stumbles across a holy relic/weapon called Shanhara, an ancient suit of armor the Vine have been unable to use.  Aric takes possession of the armor and escapes to Earth where centuries have passed since his capture.  So with that said, I think you'd like X-O Manowar if you read Iron Man. The long running Marvel comic starring billionaire[...]

Coming out of Wondercon… the news that Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier have completed the long awaited Groo & Conan crossover series, the first issue of which is planned to make it out in July in time for San Diego Comic Con. But right after that we can expect a new twelve issue Groo The Wanderer[...]

More bizarre breasts later. But yes, half naked men should drop other men, if they expect to get paid. Could to see Conan at least contributing to the local economy rather than removing coins or gold from their environment And when he releives himself afterwards, the liquids will return to the ecology That's the green Hymerian warrior[...]

Cue Lovecraft! It's a question we ask ourselves every day, whether in Black Science or not. Conan #4 shows us that it's always good to laugh at molten lava It relaxed the jaw muscles from all that tensing. Neverending #3 shows us the importance of having a string outfielder (that sounds like a correct American sporting term but[...]

After reading Conan, can I now say "gorillas with wings" repeatedly instead? Gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings, gorillas with wings… Lobo gets one-punched in Supergirl. In that case, Nightmare Nurse, Swamp Thing can call you Betty Give it a few pages and [...]

If only they'd thought of this tactic back in June. Hell, Conan thought of that tactic in the Age Of Hyboria And he had one of those Superior Spider-Man spy things, too. Nova's version of reality may owe something to reality, but I so want that Punisher reaction to be the true one. There's a lot of smelling[...]

Learn to count, Conan. X-O Manowar expands the immigration policy of the United States Of America It won't last. While Bloodshot And The HardCorps brings back a familiar, if not entirely welcome, face. Yours alone, Morbius, The Living Vampire? Easily achieved, your book is cancelled with this issue And no one will bother you again… So, apparently this comic[...]

Nikolai Fomich sent in a few bullet points ahead of a longer report… Sergio is currently penciling #4 of Groo Vs Conan. Sergio didn't want to do crossovers at first, took a while to decide to do it, really wanted to come up with logical reason for crossover. Solution was using Sergio and mark WITHIN the comic, where[...]

And this is what we learned. Brian Wood  might stay on Conan after his contract is up with 25 but no official word yet. He promised last year that Massive would have backmatter pages exclusive to the comic but they disappeared Why? Time is the biggest issue, but he plans to bring them back but not to[...]

Same goes for Conan the Barbarian Probably a good deal more that I'm just not thinking of at the moment. What was the last really good comic that you read? I've just read Blacksad for the first time and really enjoyed that Gorgeous work I've also really been enjoying Fury MAX, which I only half expected[...]

A bunch of Mike Deodato cover paintings for Conan, were created for a Brazilian publisher in the nineties but were never returned to him are showing up in the marketetplace for sale.

From the slightly NSFW preview of King Conan: The Phoenix Of The Sword #2, we see Thoth Amon, evil wizard created by Robert E Howard, in bed with a few young things varying in gender. Not in the original text, and some will take issue with yet another example of bisexuality equating being a baddie of[...]

But not even he always gets his way, when criminal-turned hero overrules him in Secret Avengers,taking the top spot, and launching his own class war against the Captain. I think we're going to quite enjoy Rick on this book, aren't we? Probably as much as Wood and Cloonan on the new Conan comic. And a tailor whose[...]
