Excellent conclusion to the Koga Thun story. After a nice Goonie's nod, Conan comes face to face with the wizard, lots of decapitation. There's an awesome splash page at the end, the art style is very sketchy, takes some getting used to, but ends up working. Can't wait for the next arc.

Conan is so great at decapitating stuff.

THE GOOD: -Poor Suty. You'll always remain in my heart, buddy. -The pirate ship was pretty damn awesome. -Koga Thun is a pretty good villain. I liked his dialogue. -Speaking of, Gerry Duggan is a great writer. I really only discovered him this year, but I'm glad that I did. -Finally that damn Koga Thun got what he deserved. -The last seven pages or so of this comic are pure epicness. THE BAD: -I don't know why, but the art didn't seem as good as the first four issues here. -The whole time, Menes came across as just a bland character, unfortunately.
