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.

Full Color, 32 pages, $3.99
