"Titan Comics' new Conan: The Barbarian series carries the same spirit as those classics, resulting in a fresh start that would make the character's creator, Robert E. Howard, proud." Comics Beat"By Crom, this is a fine tale! 10/10." Superherohype.com"Every aspect of this book was on point! The Buscema-inspired artwork from De La Torre couldn't be more perfect. Jim Zub's writing would make REH proud. 10/10" League of Comic Geeks"I think this is fantastic! It's a solid read, it's entertaining, the art is amazing" Graphic Policy"De La Torre's artwork is gorgeous and dynamic, and it hearkens back to some of the most beloved depictions of the character. Jim Zub has been vocal about his enthusiasm for Conan for many years, and there's no other active comic writer I trust more to do the barbarian justice." Grimdark Magazine"A classic Conan tale and Jim Zub seems the perfect fit for it...The nostalgia factor was a 10." Comic Book Club"This looks like something that just leaped out of Savage Sword. I was so floored when I saw this...this reads like a great Conan comic. The text in here could have been written by Roy Thomas or Robert E. Howard. It perfectly captures the character, especially the wanderlust." Todd Luck"They chose an art style that specifically speaks to Conan...That style of art speaks to you as a reader. It speaks to me as a reader. It speaks to people who are going to be picking this up from scratch...I think they really knocked it out of the park for issue zero." Tennessee Fats"Jim Zub delivers a sword-slashing, brooding, action-packed debut worthy of Robert E. Howard fans, and Robert De La Torre's art is a perfect homage to classic Conan comics." Comical Opinions "Plants the seeds for some exciting adventures ahead." ComicBook.com "Conan the Barbarian #1 is a lightning jump-start that should please existing fans, and give newcomers a great sense of pulp adventure, and sword and sorcery's, distinct escapist offering." - PFangirl"Roberto De la Torre produces some great artwork" Sci Fi Pulse"An all-star creative team and balls-to-the-wall execution make this take on Conan's legend a winner. Longtime fans will be pleased with the start to this new era." AIPT
