Conan the Barbarian: Thrice Marked for Death Vol.2

This Trade collects issues 5 through 8 in The Conan Comic Series by Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics. The writing is very strong in this volume. This really goes in depth with Conan’s “giant melancholy” of dealing with the loss of Belit. Great sword and sorcery! The artwork is savage. 5 stars!

Amazing volume.Great to read of conan's struggle with losing belit.

Delivered on time. Great story and art work. A good read. Highly recommend for any Conan fan. A book more than a standard comic book. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Zub tells a boring tale.There is no show. It's all telling narrative.The flashbacks are poorly timed. Plus the jump from Conan the Barbarian to SPOILER.... Conan the Zombie is terrible. If Zub wanted Belit in this tale, he should have made a story with her. I've read all the previous comics, but you need to know those to have any idea what Zub is telling.There is supposed to be a heist. There is no intro to the characters. Zub once again just tells you who they are. Total souless group, which should have been fleshed out.There is no building of the story. The heist is boring. Generic infiltration of the keep done dozens of times before. We'll hide in the food truck. Yeah, wild so original.Glad, I checked this out from the library. It's a Conan ripoff. It doesn't deserve to use his name for such sorry storytelling.

If you're a Conan fan, Titan's run continues to be the perfect combination of Howard, Marvel and Dark Horse. They aren't redoing the same stories either. They include the history and lore and then they elaborate. For a Conan fan these stories are brilliant. Jim Zub and the amazing artists at Titan are doing everything a Conan fan could ask for.

This book does not pull any punches. This is Conan at his violent best. It fully lives up to the mature rating not only for the violence but also for a bit of nudity as well as who Conan deals with. With a character like Conan, this is expected.The one thing that sets this book apart is Conan's grief. I have read many comic and novel interpretations of the Bêlit story arc. I always felt that she was not just another woman from Conan's past. I mean the during that arc, the promise made was as close to a marriage as you can get. Here, I see Conan processing/hiding from his grief the only way he knows how, but it keeps coming back. This, I thought, was especially well done.Even though there are a number of years between this book and volume one, I am very happy with the continuity and continuation of the story (or could it be a saga). I can't wait to see what happens next. The book finishes with a thumbnail varient cover gallery, including the combined covers.
