This past weekend, I made a run to my local comic book shop to pick up my books. I thought it might be fun to share what I currently have on my pull list. Conan The Barbarian The comic that brought me into the comic book shop to begin with, Conan the Barbarian is a monthly series written by Jim Zub, following the adventures of everyone’s favorite barbarian. It’s fast, brutal, and a lot of fun to read.

It’s been almost two years since I started down my path of exploring the world of Conan the Barbarian. It all began with reading The Tower of the Elephant after taking a suggestion from reddit and my ability to find a free copy online. I read the story in one sitting and once I was done, I wasn’t quite sure the world of sword and sorcery was for me, but I was happy I’d tried something new.

Last month, when I began reading Red Sonja vs. Army of Darkness, I found myself wanting more Ash in my life. I tend to read comics before bed most nights, so I went looking for some more Army of Darkness comics to fill that void. The most logical place to start was the most recent Army of Darkness series titled Army of Darkness Forever, which was originally scheduled for a six issue ran that expanded to thirteen issues.

Last week, I opened up DC Universe Infinite to see what new comics were around to read. One cover caught my eye: I opened up the book and was greeted with some fantastic artwork. For fans of the DC Universe, that is indeed the legendary assassin Deathstroke in a medieval-fantasy setting. In 2021, DC launched a limited series called The Dark Knights of Steel. It ran for twelve issues and told a high-fantasy reimagining of the DC Universe.

Story: ⭐️⭐️ Artwork: ⭐️ Re-Reability: Zero A few weeks ago, the standard release for the monthly issue of Conan the Barbarian was delayed, and in its place, Titan released a digital comic title Eastern Horizons. This one-shot comic was written by Walt Simonson, best known for his work on Thor in the mid-1980s. The art was handled by Jerry Ma. I was frustrated that this was a digital only release, and even more so that it was a Kindle only digital release, but I went ahead and paid $3.

Last weekend, I made a trip to my local comic book shop to pick up my copies of Bug Wars and Savage Sword of Conan. As usual, I took a quick lap around the store where I found the latest issue of Rogue in the Savage World that I needed to pick up and something I wasn’t expecting: Red Sonja vs. Army of Darkness. I’ve really enjoyed my foray into sword and sorcery over the past year, but I still haven’t fallen in love with Red Sonja.
