• Comic Book Corner 2.0: “A short comic book, but my trust is in Jim Zub. He does a phenomenal job with the Conan title.”

• Comic Book University: “Fantastic and amazing story, and this is just a prelude. If you didn’t grab this on Free Comic Book Day, beg, borrow, or steal. You’re going to want this one. It is literally an ideal Conan story.”

• Fanlight Zone: “This is stuff that, decades from now, people will be holding up there with the esteemed Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith and other incredible runs with this character. This is god-tier work and the art is breathtaking!…I can’t recommend it enough.”

• Gaming Trend: “This issue does a fantastic job setting up its premise. It gives away little, with only a sinister snippet of the looming threat on the final pages to tease what is to come.”

• Gary B the Casual Comic Guy: “Fantastic…Another great Free Comic Book Day book and one you should have in your collection.”

• Infinity Flux Comics: “This is really cool and it makes me want to read the upcoming story…I definitely recommend.”

• Kabooooom: 10/10 “Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures have yet to hit a wrong note in their management of the franchise and Robert E. Howard’s legacy. If you’ve not given the new Conan the Barbarian a chance, now’s the time to see what you’ve been missing!”

• League of Comic Geeks: 9/10 “I think this is the best FCBD book I got today. One continuous story, good pacing and balance of action vs dialogue. Excellent induction for new readers and old readers alike. I really enjoyed the juxtaposition they were writing with the two characters.”

• Mighty Thorngren: “Really, really cool. I like it a lot. Conan fans are eating good right now when it comes to story and art. I had a lot of fun with this one.”

• Stygian Dogs: “For the fourth year in a row we get a free issue with that superior page quality we’ve become accustomed to in the monthly book and it felt thicker than most of the other free issues that I grabbed, definitely superior quality.”
