Something great has been happening in comics recently. Jim Zub and Rob DeLatorre are doing a fantastic job on the new Conan series over at Titan comics. It's an absolute return to classic Conan that we readers knew and loved. Furthermore, DeLatorre is doing a bang-up impersonation of John Buscema's pencils on the new series. It's like you CAN go home again!
This has quickly risen to my favorite comic every month. Zub's writing has been top notch impressive and has left me each month, so far, asking for more. Or more accurately wondering when the next issue will be out. It's that impressive.
My only caveat so far was that the lead female character from the first 4 issues was killed off screen. But that can be easily overlooked, as the rest of the series has been spectacular. If you love 70's and 80's Roy Thomas/John Buscema Conan, like I do, you HAVE to check out what Titan is doing with Zub and DeLatorre. Impressive is undervaluing what it really is. I can't recommend this one enough! Wow!
