The first issue of Conan the Barbarian from Titan was published back in July with ComicBook.com’s own Charlie Ridgley awarding it a 3.5 out of 5, and writing: “This take on Conan aims for the pulpy nostalgia of the stories that made the character a household name in the first place. When it comes to invoking that nostalgia,ย Conan the Barbarianย #1 overwhelmingly succeeds. The art is rough around the edges in a way that feels purposeful โ an effort to achieve a throwback style. Just looking at the issue gives you that nostalgic feeling it’s hoping you’ll find.”
