By Crom! Titan Comics is Bringing Back Conan with a Vengeance (and a Milestone)
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Titan Comics is unleashing two new Conan the Barbarian comics in October 2025: a milestone issue of the main series and a revamped, colorized version of the classic *Savage Sword* magazine, guaranteeing plenty of Hyborian-era mayhem. Forget NFTs, this is proper escapism!
Right, listen up, you Hyborian hopefuls! Titan Comics is diving headfirst back into the world of Conan the Barbarian, and they're not mucking about. According to a scoop from IGN South Africa, we're getting not one, but *two* new Conan comics hitting shelves in October 2025. A bit of future telling there, eh? Must be that ancient sorcery at work.
First up, we've got *Conan the Barbarian #25*. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Another comic run?" But hold your horses! This isn't just any old issue; it's a milestone! The big two-five, baby! Penned by the fan-favourite Jim Zub (the chap knows his Conan), this standalone story promises an epic tale involving a mysterious visitor rocking up at Conan's royal digs. The question is, can Conan, now a king, handle this stranger and their powers? Or will this visitor rewrite history? Sounds like a recipe for some proper sword-swinging action, doesn't it?
But wait, there's more! Titan is also resurrecting (or *reforging*, if you will) *The Savage Sword of Conan* with *The Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged #1*. For those of you not in the know, *Savage Sword* was a black-and-white magazine that showcased some of Conan's grittiest and most iconic adventures. This time around, they're taking those classic stories and giving them a vibrant, all-new colour treatment. I must admit, that does sound rather appealing.
This first issue kicks off with two absolute bangers: "Tower of the Elephant", featuring the legendary art of John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala, and "The Frost-Giant's Daughter" by the incomparable Barry Windsor-Smith. Recolored, mind you, to really bring out the brutal beauty of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age. Honestly, these are stone-cold classics, and if you've never experienced them, now's your chance. Forget your fancy Web3 distractions for a minute; sometimes, you just need a good dose of barbarian action.
Titan will apparently be spilling more beans at San Diego Comic-Con next week, so keep your eyes peeled. And as IGN South Africa also mentioned, if you're into weird crossovers, the *Cult of the Lamb* folks are also doing another comic, and Marvel is dredging up some forgotten Captain America character. But fair dinkum, Conan is where it's at.
So, there you have it, mate. Two new Conan comics heading our way, one a milestone, the other a glorious resurrection of classic stories. October 2025 is shaping up to be a good month for barbarians. I'm off to sharpen my broadsword (metaphorically speaking, of course).
