Product Description:
The critically acclaimed and award-winning creative team behind the runaway-hit revival are back with a brand new adaptation of one of Conan creator Robert E. Howard's best-known tales. Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek and artists Cary Nord and Dave Stewart render the glorious suspense of Howard's beloved 'The God in the Bowl' in all its terrifying detail, as well as introducing not only Conan's most famed adversary, Thoth-amon, but a new female foil to Conan's exploits - Janissa, the Widowmaker, bound by a pact to a witch who has sinister plans for Conan.

Rating:  - SNAKES!
Great art and a thrilling story. I admit I still hold a candle for the original Roy Thomas story that was my first introduction to the amazing world of Conan, but this version ROCKS, too!
Rating: - Man, Conan is awesome
What can I say? This volume and the previous volume are, other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, my first introductions to Conan and his world. I must say that I love it. Action. Adventure. Intrigue. Magic. It's got it all. He is so simple and yet not. He is powerful, yet cunning and even, at times, wise in his native actions. Bottom line for me: it's just plain fun, exciting, and awesome. The art is really good, and so is the story-telling. Pick it up if you love sword and scorcery!

This sounds sacrilegious until you actually see the artwork and read the stories. Brilliant! The partnership of Busiek and Nord is a match made in heaven, or perhaps, Hyborea. The artwork is savage and dynamic, real and yet mystical. The writing fresh and exciting, ... Read More
Rating: - More than excellent!
This could not be better! The drawings are fantastic! Storyline is very good, great characters. Brutally fantastic! You should have this in your comic collection, it will be worth to have it.
Rating:  - Not Bad
The story line in this book is not a good as the first of course but if you are a Conan fan then it is definately worth checking out. The art in the book alone is worth your time. They do a wonderful job of bringing the Cimmerian back to life for this series. But, if you are looking for another "The Frost Giant's Dautgher", you may be disapointed. The story is a bit slower and more drawn out, could have used more action. It did make me want to check out the third volume of the series, but then again, I'm ... Read More
