SAVAGE AVENGERS #16 (Featuring Conan)
Now available! 

Gerry Duggan (Writer) • Patch Zircher (Art)
Cover by Valerio Giangiordano

LET'S GO TO LIMBO! 

Magik joins Conan with guest Avenger the Black Knight and...the Juggernaut. An Asgardian dragon with the second eye of Agamotto doesn't stand a chance. Or maybe he does. Either way, the Sweet Sixteenth of this comic is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight that will punch you upside the head. Fair warning.

THE CIMMERIAN: 
THE FROST-GIANTS DAUGHTER #1
Now available!

(Writer) Robert E. Howard, Robin Recht (Art) Robin Recht
Cover A: Peach Momoko
Cover B: Junggeun Yoon
Cover C: Jay Anacleto
Cover D: Robin Recht
Cover E: Fritz Casas

Robert E. Howard's Conan is brought to life UNCENSORED!

Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended!

The only survivor of a ferocious battle, Conan sits in the midst of a bloodstained snow field. When the fight is over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself overcome with deep weariness and disgust. Until the moment he meets a redheaded woman of supernatural beauty, bonding like the glow of the sun on the snow. Moved by a burning desire, Conan decides to follow her but finds himself caught in a trap, attacked by two titans. In his ardor, he was not suspicious... he did not imagine for a second that his bride was none other than Ymir's own daughter: the frost-giant! 

A mythical tale both in both form and substance, The Frost-Giant's Daughter is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht, who manages to capture the essence of this whirlwind tale of violent desire...a true love trap in which the force of will of the Cimmerian is put to the test. 

As bonus, also includes Robert E. Howard prose story from Weird Tales! 

Full Color, 32 pages, $3.99
