• 9 Panel Grid: “Top Comic of the Week…The way everything has been laid out shows that the team on this book and everyone involved at Titan Comics with Jim Zub, the art team, everyone – they’re arguably just as strategic as Conan himself is on the battlefield.”

• Comic Culture: “Aesthetically, the book is phenomenal. The character designs, the environments, the dungeons, and everything else. The action, coloring and everything is absolutely perfect for a Conan book.”

• Comic Patrol: “Book of the week…This book is beautiful, month after month – writing, art, colors, letters – Everything about this book is constantly as good as comics get. Old fashioned without being ‘old fashioned’, modern without being ‘modern’ – It’s timeless!”

• Comical Opinions: 9/10 “You should absolutely make room in your monthly budget for this series because it represents the gold standard of modern adventure comics.”

• Cool Thunder: 10/10 “The art by Fernando Dagnino consistently delivers a sense of grand, glorious epic with every issue he pencils, and the color work by Diego Rodriguez brings each and every panel vividly to life. This issue is chock-full of action, massive battle scenes, and emotion on every page.”

• Cupcakes Comic Reviews: “It’s amazing and has got great art…Whenever it’s collected it’s going to be an amazing read. Even now in single issues I’m enjoying each and every one.”

• Eternal Crusader: “This is arguably Dagnino’s most epic issue to date and once again demonstrates how outstanding his panel composition and page layouts are…This run is something we will be talking about for a long time to come.”

• Fanlight Zone: “Fantastic art, kinetic energy just jumping off the page and Jim Zub murdering it on this book for 3 years now…This needs to be the best selling comic forever!”

• League of Comic Geeks: 10/10 “The narration is spot on and carries with it the voice of those days of 30s and 40s adventure writing. Political intrigue, a rising and unstoppable hero, and an epic showdown that leaves the reader feeling very satisfied are all present and accounted for, by Crom.”
