Conan the Barbarian will team-up with some of the Marvel Universe's deadliest characters in a new series titled Savage Avengers, by writer Gerry Duggan and artist Mike Deodato.

This is an unsanctioned team of heroes. It has to be something that visually makes sense to you, and I think it does. [Artist] Mike Deodato Jr. is illustrating this book in both worlds. We envisioned a threat, a magical green zone where the evil wizards of Conan’s world are trading spells with the Hand in Japan. Conan is on a very Conan-like mission; he’s heard a tale of an amulet so he’s chasing it, and the evil magic sorcerers are doing something that would be a Marvel Avengers problem. It feels like we have found some very fertile ground that is a Venn diagram between those two worlds.

Full Color, 40 pages, $4.99, On sale May TBA.
