Titan Comics is bringing back *Savage Sword of Conan*, and the first cover art reveals are a glorious blend of classic and modern barbarian artistry that will make any fan giddy. It looks like the Hyborian Age is ready to rumble once more!
Right, listen up, you magnificent barbarians! Titan Comics is resurrecting *Savage Sword of Conan*, and we've got an exclusive peek at the cover art for the first issue, *Reforged #1*. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Another Conan comic? Is this just more of the same?" But hold your horses (or your giant snakes, whatever you're into). These covers are… well, they're *Conan*. And that’s a bloody good thing.
Let's be honest, you can't have Conan without some properly epic art. And these covers? They deliver. We’re talking classic Conan vibes, the kind that make you want to grab a broadsword, charge into battle, and maybe steal a princess (ethically, of course). There are currently three covers to behold.
First up, we've got Boris Vallejo's contribution. This is proper old-school fantasy art, mate. Think glistening muscles, dramatic lighting, and a healthy dose of peril. It’s the kind of image that screams, "I'm Conan, and I'm about to ruin your day!" Vallejo is a legend, and this cover showcases exactly why. The man knows how to paint a barbarian.
Then there's Roberto de la Torre's cover. It’s a different vibe, more modern and gritty. De la Torre brings a darker, more visceral feel to the Cimmerian, capturing the raw brutality of Conan's world. If Vallejo's cover is the heroic Conan, this one is the survivor, the one who clawed his way out of the wilderness and is ready to take what's his. (And probably yours, too, if you're not careful.)
So, what does this mean for us, the discerning Conan fans? It means Titan Comics seems to be taking this seriously. They're not just slapping a new title on an old property; they're investing in the visuals, bringing in artists who understand the essence of Conan. Whether the interior art and story hold up remains to be seen, but these covers are a damn good start. I reckon it's worth keeping an eye on. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to sharpen my broadsword… or, you know, maybe just order a pizza. The *Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged* #1 is set to be unleashed soon, and if the covers are anything to go by, we're in for a wild ride. Prepare yourselves, Hyborian enthusiasts!
