Conan: The God in the Bowl


Another stellar read in the Conan mythos.

The God in the Bowl was written with a different pace and a different perspective than most other Conan adventures. It's a bit slower and at times it unfolds like a murder mystery (because at the heart of it, it is). It's interesting to read and see how Conan reacts. Ultimately, that chapter ends with decapitations and blades of fury, just like it should. Justice is duly served. It's just more suspenseful than your average Nemedian yarn.

The story continues, Conan is introduced to a hot chick with swords, and he faces his most powerful and worthy adversary yet. Shit goes down and people die. It's a pretty freakin epic story.

Again, brilliant art and writing. Can't wait for the next one...
