Conan le Cimmérien - Au-delà de la rivière noire 
Coming September 9!

Screenwriter: Mathieu Gabella
Designer and Colorist: Anthony Jean

The Pictish country is a dark jungle where the border between civilization and barbarism is thin. One thing only symbolizes it: the black river, which no white man is supposed to have crossed and come back alive. None, except Conan. It is at the heart of this green hell that the Cimmerian meets Balthus, a young peasant volunteer whom he rescues in extremis from the claws of fierce Pictish warriors. Together, they will try to lend a hand to the settlers who settled here on these hostile lands in the last bastion of civilization. With a dozen men, they will have to find the powerful wizard Zogar Sag before he succeeds in uniting the clans and engage his bloody invasion ...

The authors of The Unicorn revive Beyond the Black River , reputed as one of the best stories of Conan. A survivalist and warrior narrative carried away by the relentless pace of Mathieu Gabella's script and the strength of Anthony Jean's stroke.

Marvel Comics announces 
Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, and Esad Ribic 
for New Conan series

Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, and Esad Ribic Lead New CONAN THE BARBARIAN Series!
The new adventures begin this January!

This January, Conan makes his triumphant return to Marvel Comics in the all-new CONAN THE BARBARIAN! And today, Marvel is excited to announce the new creative team of the first series – the acclaimed team who will lead the famed barbarian into his new adventures!

Superstar writer Jason Aaron will helm the new tales of the sword-slashing hero, bringing him to life alongside star artist Mahmud Asrar (X-Men Red, Cloak and Dagger). Aaron and Asrar will be joined by cover artist Esad Ribic (Fantastic Four, Secret Wars, Marvel Legacy) and Eisner Award-winning colorist Matt Wilson (Runaways, The Mighty Thor.)

“I’ve literally been preparing for this job since I was 13 and discovered my first Robert E. Howard Conan paperback in a used bookstore in my little hometown of Jasper, Alabama,” said Aaron. “I devoured every Howard book I could find after that, and I’ve been making up Conan stories in my head ever since. Now I finally get to do that for real, alongside the amazing Mahmud Asrar. So this opportunity means an awful lot to me, and I’m cherishing every blood-splattered, spider-haunted second of it.”

“Growing up, Conan was one of the first comic books I’ve read. It’s partly responsible in making me a lifelong comic book reader,” said Asrar. “In fact, it’s the first book where I’ve noticed the names of the creators and that being a comic book artist was something I could do for a living. Now, years later, I get the chance to draw the book myself and do it with the amazing Jason Aaron. I couldn’t be happier to tell epic new tales of the Cimmerian – to continue the legacy that will hopefully make a mark on readers, just like the original comics did for me.”

“I can’t wait for readers to see the epic scope of the first story lined up for CONAN,” shared editor Mark Basso. “Like our illustrious writer and artist, my intro to Conan came in the form of an old paperback that magically found its way to me as a kid, and this team is harnessing all of that love and respect for the character’s history while expanding the Hyborian mythos in a way that’s really never been done before.”

“These past months have been an exciting whirlwind for us and the folks at Marvel, going through creative teams with passion for the Cimmerian,” added Fredrik Malmberg, President & CEO of Cabinet Entertainment. “Jason and Mahmud are crafting a really strong story, it’s amazing to see the process and pages coming through. Esad Ribic’s covers evoke the classic Conan, yet with his own distinct and personal freshness. Crom!”

This January, be prepared to witness Conan’s exploits, magic, and mayhem in an all-new series, starting with CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1!
