Zub Tales

Part 2 of our Cursed Shores Beyond story arc arrived in stores last week. What did reviewers think?

• Comic Patrol: “What’s the one book I would keep if I had to drop everything? It’s Conan…I couldn’t sign its praises high enough.”

• Comical Opinions: 10/10 “Fernando Dagnino is firing on all cylinders with beautifully rendered junglescapes, terrifying monsters, cinematic swordfights, and a fantastic sense of drama…Jim Zub’s tale of woe is as good as it gets, and the art team’s delivery is dead center perfect.”

• Cupcakes Comic Reviews: “Fernando Daginono’s artwork is sublime. Like all the artists on this book, they’ve all been awesome…And again, Jim can do no wrong.”

• Fanlight Zone: 10/10 “It’s almost a broken record at this point to tell you guys how amazing this book is every single month. Just some of the best comic work on the shelves…It’s right up there with some of the best work on this character. I can’t recommend it enough.”

• Gaming Trend: 9/10 “The distinct environment remains a breath of fresh air for long-time readers of the series, and the supporting cast continue to be just as captivating as the titular Cimmerian. With a healthy dose of fast-paced action and an unexpected twist at the end, Conan the Barbarian #34 is a great time from cover to cover.”

• Gary B the Casual Comic Guy: “The coloring in these last two issues by Diego Rodriguez has been absolutely stunning. The coloring just really brought me into this story. Everything is clear, everything’s concise, but there are layers to the coloring that really draw it out.”

• League of Comic Geeks: 10/10 “This arc is pure sword-and-sorcery adventure, and that final reveal immediately made me desperate for the next issue. An absolute blast from beginning to end!”

• Old Man Hyborian: “Overall, a pretty solid issue. Buy it, read it, and enjoy it.”

• Pop Culture Philosophers: “Dagnino is such a great artist. Really great stuff. There’s dinosaurs on this island eating people, the figure work is amazing…Jim Zub is the best Conan writer of my lifetime.”

• Stygian Dogs: “It’s a fun second part of this four issue arc. It establishes the mystery of the island and the various threats there on, and it gives clear momentum for the next stage of the adventure.”

• Thinking Critical: “Pick of the Week…This was a blast to read from beginning to end. Great dialogue, pacing, terrific art and lettering as well.”
