By Crom, Savage Sword of Conan rules above all. I was afraid when this volume was announced, mainly because Roy Thomas exits as editor and main architect of all story arcs. As fan and expert of Robert E Howard writings, Roy Thomas is probably the best Conan author of all time pos Howard. The man is a genius, and that’s one of the reasons why I was never such a huge fan of Michael Fleisher take of SSoC. I’ve noticed that Marvel took a decision to add less issues to volume 5 and that’s make sense, considering that all remaining arcs written by Thomas during early 80s could not be published on volume 5 without affecting the narrative. But Thomas will return on issue 190 all the way to final issue 235. Omar, you will love the SSoC omnibus volume 6, there is one arc written by Chris Claremont on SSoC #74 (“The Lady of the Silver Snows”). Suggestion for the Astonishing Melanie: don’t start the Conan saga with Jason Aaron; I strongly recommend Kurt Busiek’s run...a masterpiece 👍👍. Omar, I hope you and your dad are doing better.

I would think that is very unlikely, same thing as Shang Chi or all the DC golden age omnis. It just feels like unless the sales were super stellar (which i doubt they were) then there’s no motivation to print them. Its series like this where you need to get in and buy them early, whereas books like Annihilation, IG, AoA, ASM1 are always likely to get a reprint due to mass appeal and demand. A test of this will be later this year when the Shang Chi movie will come out, but will Marvel really reprint 5 omnis? It took them ages to sell and some are still available 3 years later 🤷🏼♂️
@LuisHernandez-zc2ci3 жыл бұрын
@@FrankCastlesConscience it’s a little different because with Conan it is a timed license. They won’t have the printing rights forever unless they pay once again. How much more stellar can we get than a complete sell out of vol 1 very quickly haha.

Hey Carl, You should be alright starting anywhere with these. The colour series is chronological (at least until the end of the current omni), but Savage Sword is fairly random self-contained episodes in Conan's life, often adaptations of the original Robert E Howard stories (plus the now unavailable stories by L Sprague de Camp and others). There are some multi-issue stories but they should each be in the same omnibus. Roy Thomas' introductions etc will also help a lot if anything doesn't make sense.

I will be interested to see who Buscema didnt like getting inked by. I think it was probably one of tge South American artists who I think made the Marvel black and white house style distinctive. For me, they made Buscema acceptable. I always found him a really boring artist without any style elements that I found appealing. Inkers like Alcala brought a dark moodiness and texture to Buscema's wirk. Same with Ernie Chan. His inking in the colour comics added a lot.

Brother this conan run is dope. Too bad there not in color then I can appreciate the mature content. Maybe they will color them like Image is doing with Walking Dead.

Savage Sword will never be colored. It is made for black and white pencils and for mature audiences. Not for the kids.

Omar, are you familiar with Folio Society? I've been dying to see a complete Conan The Barbarian by Robert E. Howard Folio edition. I emailed them and dm'd them on Twitter requesting a Conan book and not to skimp on the violence and nudity. They said they would pass it on to their editorial team. If that sounds like something you'd want, please contact them and request it so they know there's a big demand for it. Appreciate ya, brother.

I can’t get enough of the “toxic masculinity” lol I’ve not heard that about SSoC. There are some arcs. Mainly in the King Size books and some great stand alone stories.
