Kabooooom - Matt Morrison
Jan 17, 2017This issue proves a worthy conclusion to what has easily been the best saga in the monthly Conan comic in over five years. Cullen Bunn writes Conan with a wit and cunning few writers have equaled. The artwork by Sergio Davila, coupled with the colors of Michael Atiyeh, brings the visceral world of Hyboria to life wonderfully. Read Full Review

Outright Geekery - Richard Wanderman Jr.
Jan 19, 2017I am an unabashed, long time, lover of all things Conan. It is a rich treat to be following a title that seems to truly understand the quirks, mannerisms, intricacies, and failings of the barbarian we have come to love. Bunn and Davila's Conan the Slayer for Dark Horse Comics is one such title. I'm so glad to have this in my pull list. I can't wait to see the next issue and that is not something I can't say about every title. Read Full Review

From its inception, this tale has been as mighty as Conan himself. In this issue, things go left as Conan's relationship with the Kozaki tribe goes south in the face of an infighting at the top of the food chain. Bunn does an incredible job at pulling in the story and setting it back on its violent path when the moments call for it. Brutality is Conan's calling card. Yet Bunn refuses to write a lazy arc that leaves the heavy lifting for Dávila. At its best, the events that litter this issue force readers to choose a side to root for. There will always be those that take up the cause of the villain. The Kozaki chieftain's youngest son plays that role to the hilt as his sinister ways reek of disloyalty and desperation. more
