scarletspeed7 12/15/19 6:41:36 PM #18:	The Top Ten Comic Books of 2019! #10 - Conan the Barbarian (by Jason Aaron) https://imgur.com/AF1Su7l The beauty of this series is how there is a taste of every type of Conan story. From Conan at sea and fighting pirates, to King Conan, to Conan fighting in wars set in the desert, there is a little bit of everything here. The opening issue delivers a gladiatorial battle for those looking for blood-soaked swords and properly sets up the new characters who are plotting against him. Jason Aaron does a fantastic job establishing Conans legacy, first being born on a battlefield, then becoming king, and then cutting to when he was younger, fighting men for gold and wine. His life is storied and the way this issue is plotted that is made very clear. There are plenty of fight scenes, magic afoot, and a promise by the end that Conan may be facing his most challenging battle yet. New fans are going to easily get into this book. A lot of blood does flow and heads do get lopped off. Its marked with a parental advisory for a reason. This book delivers on everything that makes Conan great, whether its his strength, his tenacity, or his love of women and wine. This book lives up to the aptly titled barbarian in more ways than one. Opening with two full-page splashes and following that a double page splash, its made clear this is an epic tale that spans time, many deaths, and a heros journey like no other. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
