Conan the Barbarian is going to kick off a new story arc next year, and ComicBook.com has an exclusive look at the covers for the opening salvo. The Robert E. Howard creation found a new home at Titan Comics after spending some time over at Marvel, with Titan launching a new volume of Conan the Barbarian earlier this year. Writer Jim Zub (Avengers, Dungeons & Dragons) and artist Roberto de la Torre (Invincible Iron Man, King-Size Conan) are the creative team on Conan the Barbarian, and next March will see a brand-new story arc that's perfect for new readers. Covers for the ninth issue give a glimpse at the drama in store for Conan.
ComicBook.com has the exclusive first look at March's covers for Conan the Barbarian #9. This new story arc is titled "The Age Unconquered," and teases Conan taking a journey that's riddled with dark secrets of the past. The four covers feature art by Mike Deodato, E.M. Gist, Roberto de la Torre, and Chris Moreno.
Conan the Barbarian #1 reviews are in
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, Conan the Barbarian #1 overwhelmingly succeeds. The art is rough around the edges in a way that feels purposeful – an effort to achieve a throwback style. Just looking at the issue gives you that nostalgic feeling it's hoping you'll find."
The covers for Conan the Barbarian #9 can be found below. The issue goes on sale March 27, 2024. Order links can be found at Previews World and Forbidden Planet.
