The Barbarian Series was a hit in the early and Conan The Barbarian has attained iconic status in pop culture. The most recent issue of Conan is an oversized 48-page comic book written by Jason Aaron with art by Esad Ribic for Marvel Comics. In Marvel’s new series, Conan has been fatally injured, and the cosmos watches on as the mighty warrior’s soul grapples with its existence—and breaks free of its mortal coil. The first issue was filled with callbacks to the Conan legend. There is no more mention of Thulsa Doom. This is the first time since Conan’s very beginning in the ’70s that we saw a rebooted version of Conan that never referenced previous issues or strips.

If you are a long-term reader, this will be a jarring series to read. Conan’s new world is peppered with old familiar references, like his talking raven and his beloved sword; but it is also full of new characters and concepts created for Marvel Comics by Aaron.

What can we expect from the Barbarian series?

We can expect to see a lot of gore and violence in the series. As there is no way that a barbarian like Conan has any chance of surviving in the modern world. So this series will be quite brutal and gory. The worlds of Marvel’s Conan, and its related characters, are owned by Marvel Characters Inc. (MCCA), a joint venture between Conan Properties, L.L.C., Universal Studios Licensing LLC, and NBCUniversal International Television Distribution, Inc., which owns the rights to distribute the Conan character outside of Japan to various countries across the world exclusively through Universal Pictures International (UPI).
