Expecting my copy of issue #12 to arrive today! What a great year it's been for Howard fans. I'm was slightly skeptical with Savage Sword after my initial disappointment with issue 1, but issue 2 was an improvement (still a bit below par in my opinion) With issue 3 out next week things are looking good. (Gary Nord!!!) Very excited for the Black Stone comic in the autumn too. The Jonas Scharf art looks fantastic! I also think the Jeffery Shanks essays are an important part of the comics too (especially for newbies) Anyway, here's to the next year....and the one after that.....
** Potential Spoilers** They way the Kull plot line wrapped up, do you foresee a potential Kull standalone series branching off from this point? I think it would be fascinating see a Kull comic set in a world where he knows of Conan and the events that occured with Thulsa Doom. I think it is ripe with potential for new and unique stories that pay homage to the past but explore these new modern implications Jim Zub has brought. What do you say @conanthebarbarianofficial, limited 6 issue run to test out the waters?
That’s what I’ve been hoping for all this time is for Titan to give Kull his own series. I also would like Solomon Kane to continue in his own magazine format like Savage Sword. I know it’s a lot to hope for but hey who knows.
So glad you enjoyed it Todd! I agree, Kull, especially when done right you're such a great character. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of him from Titan. 😏
