A return to form.
Giorello and Truman finally find their groove. This book reads better than their previous efforts. The writing is just smoother. Less stilted. The illustration is brighter, bolder and sharper. Both seem more effortless and comfortable than previous outings.
Conan is growing up. Conan's becoming a wise man. Conan's travels are really shaping him up to be a more mature leader.
Black Colossus sees Conan meet his hottest squeeze yet...Princess Yasmela. Conan had it good, man. Conan had it good...
Anyway, the book has a lot of set-up. Almost cinematic in scope. There's a gnarly evil wizard, a hot voluptuous princess who needs saving, and many heads to be decapitated. It's a classic Conan yarn.
I believe the following book continues in the Yasmela/Conan relationship, so let's see where that takes our Cimmerian hero next...
