Conan the Barbarian is all underrated. I’ve always figured Conan being at least 5 times stronger than Tarzan and should’ve been the Sumerian version of Hercules. An unstoppable Sumerian demigod, in his own right. Only unknowing to his limits, to which he’d learn from.

[@eddietowers5595]

I’ve misspelled his race Cimmerian

[@3PercentNeanderhal]

There's already a Sumerian demigod equivalent to Hercules....Gilgamesh. Heroes like Hercules and especially Samson are influenced by Gilgamesh and his story.

[@dustin4007]

38:49 is a hilarious image!

[@frocurl]

Now this is Danny Malt!

[@cartoonhistory353]

Danny you don’t understand I’ve been on a Conan binge for a month and you just released this thank you so much what a pleasant surprise

[@iEnjoyiVideos]

Been here for a long time now. Thanks for showing not only me but everyone of the other subs these stories. In a way, youre like the grandfather telling us all tall tales we cant get enough of. Thank you.

[@lungelosibisi9831]

Can't wait to binge watch the conan run when it's finished, really appreciate this man, I even turned on the notifications

[@JustusWilcox]

Thanks, been listening to a lot of Conan audiobooks

[@juanisol8275]

And to think that Conan is also the spiritual archetype of Robert himself! What an exciting introduction, readaptation and graphic novelization of the epic chronicles of hyperborea! Legendary Prologue, I already want to see the entire epic! Thank you very much for literally bringing the complete chronology of the original!!! Thank you so much!!

[@idriselva2384]

Yess Very relatable, even i had to leave those who i loved and great memories with but i have to find my own purpose in life somewhere you belong and happy

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

Didn't Robert E Howard had visions of Conan threatening to cleave him in half if he didn't write the stories?

[@The_preserver_x16]

Yep

[@xcarnage3936]

"Hey, we got something in common. "- guts, berserk 😂

[@johannesstephanusroos4969]

By Crom! That is far too heavy to be called a sword, it's a raw heap of metal

[@BrotherWulfe]

I love Conan. Im rdy for the next video on conan now. Gotta catch up on 100 bullets. Its so much going on in that one.

[@KimNguyen-zm7gi]

Relatable coming of age story. It’s well done with a tragic history. Tough with a heavy heart. Thank you for your content.

[@ibrahimsannoh8384]

That was a sweet ride; it got me through my entire gardening session today. Thanks .

[@jentaro]

Love the background work and the voice narration. You have developed a taste of choosing not only solid titles but long runs too. That Agent Graves voice over was top notch. Through your channel I've filled the blanks for that series. Good work.

[@ericvalentin8466]

That was so good excellent 10 out of 10

[@ThatStevenLouis]

I'm usually listening in because I'm outside doing yard work, but we're getting some good Spring storm action, so this is the first into I've actually watched in months. Danny, you looking good my boy! I didn't know You've been working out but we can definitely see it. Congrats on the gains 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@stevewealthy6120]

Really excited for this. Keep the Conan content coming

[@RufusRoss]

I wasn’t really thrilled that you start to cover Conan, but wow what a great story. Loved it.

[@homeaccount5943]

I have a lot of the Dark Horse Conan volumes, but I sincerely enjoy your narration. I would love it if you decided to do them all. Thank you, for all your hard work. I really enjoy your channel.

[@jamesly2307]

Awesome and thanks, I’ve always wanted you to do Conan stories

[@DippedInInk]

KZbins top 10 Channel with more HEAT! Thank u.

[@saintjamesent.866]

Absolutely loved it Danny! 🎉

[@MrSinclairn]

Great start,DM;and your 'Final Thoughts' are spot on,so I am looking forward to this comic-run. 👌👍

[@cheezynug1698]

Good to have you back 🎉🎉

[@nerodeathstep5239]

HELL YEA. LETS GOOOOO, I just watch the movie recently too and wanted to find more Conan, tbh tou never fail me to give good recommendation, keep up.

[@pedrotenoriomendes]

I loved the video. Nice narrative!

[@danielblue7]

The release date for "Fables: The Deluxe Edition Book Sixteen" is May 21, 2024: (The return of the acclaimed blockbuster that defined an era of Vertigo is now collected in this deluxe edition. “The Black Forest” picks up right where Fables #150 left off-and everything is far from happily ever after. A legendary new adversary has arrived to inflict retribution on the Fables living safely within the Black Forest. Collects Fables #151-162.) I bring this to your attention because you promised to return to your Fables Story Explained series when the final volume of the deluxe edition is released. Please when you get some downtime, continue to complete that series you've started.

[@dannymalt]

I never promised that. I said I might return to it one day, but I never made a full on commitment to it beyond the first half of the series. I do want to cover more, because I like fables, but it would be like another 12-13 videos and 3-4 months of work, so it’s not something I can just do lightly.

[@Imantyk]

@@dannymalt I really liked the Black Forest! It is sad Fables ended..

[@ShoEncyclopedia]

Thank you!

[@perfectblue8443]

Fantastic

[@luissanchez4973]

I'm ready for the next volume right now😁

[@kiteV1st]

Yo Danny thanks for constantly uploading amazing videos and making my day!

[@jimmyjonga8048]

Great job with these videos and entertaining narration. Really enjoyed it. One of these days I will launch my channel to talk about Conan as well. Thank you.

[@lungelosibisi9831]

I'm definitely down for this !

[@jplatt812]

Good stuff. Thanks man. 🤜🏽🤛🏼🤘🏼

[@chevyman19691]

damn this was good

[@ghostlyjudge]

I like this cant wait for more

[@matrixoverlord]

good choice in series

[@Imantyk]

Best channel!

[@omshanti1394]

Nice

[@jasonszeto7790]

Danny loss some weight . I was waiting for new comic to start , thanks

[@notmyrealname9504]

Please cover HellBoy next

[@anthonyfrias5533]

Dark horse comics also did a run on tarzan

[@RecountDaFox1]

Danny, if you think it's awesome then it's gotta be awesome. Sorry to be annoying but you think you're gonna ever get back to Die? Or the story with the alien and the house on the island??

[@dannymalt]

I didn’t like Die as it went on as much, so maybe not Die. The Nice House On The Lake, I think I will return to. The thing with that one is that volume 2 just ends on a cliffhanger, and now the series has been on hiatus for a year or two, so who knows if it will ever get completed.

[@fsp394]

Whoa 10/10!

[@mikalbowman6013]

More CONAN 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@dragonchaserkev]

Please give my Conan works a listen... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJO1dYZ8j9drbpYsi=6PLztbGj4T6hLwxj

[@jrpgaddict7726]

Ty 👌🏾

[@richardabia9735]

I really like this story, God bless you Danny, but I have to admit, i am so sad that Arielle died. It seemed that Conan and Arielle could have had an excellent LOVE story.

[@stevewealthy6120]

After the awesome Conan coverage, can you do Spawn?

[@dannymalt]

Shockingly I have never read a Spawn comic in my life. I worry about covering Spawn, just cause I am not knowledgeable on Spawn at all, and there is so much of it, I don't think I could do it justice unless I read a lot of it. So I will not be doing Spawn next. But I am not writing it off forever.

[@stevewealthy6120]

@dannymalt . I respect that. I just really enjoy your reading/presentation of comics. I do really love that you are doing Conan

[@Imantyk]

@@dannymalt in my opinion Spawn is very decompressed and boring, but the idea itself is just great and i am sure there are some good stories, just not the ones McFarlane wrote..

We're never getting that Punisher run

[@charlychalton7743]

Yeah Conan this going to be gangster

[@naesgrebner313]

We love you Danny ❤

[@sweetnbk]

Danny did it again! The best thing to see in KZbin/Comics division Edit: Palestine mentioned. danny : 🗿🇵🇸♥️

[@jorgkuijt4735]

I knew there was a reason to not unsubscribe...( the 1000 bullets, I skipped..) But Conan! Popcorn ready, let's go!

[@jorgkuijt4735]

The Barry Windsor Smith run ( with Marvel I think )was Epic!

[@dannymalt]

For my personal reading, Once I fully read all the Dark Horse stuff, I do want to try going back to the old Marvel runs.

[@ratiounkn3210]

I just have to say that I’m still salty that your videos on Invincible were taken down. I get it now though, I’d rather watch your videos than I would the show that is out now. Happy that you still making great content.

[@renegonzalez2544]
