La couverture du #1 par Mahmud Asrar :
New York, NY— September 8, 2021 — Writer Jason Aaron, artist Mahmud Asrar, and color artist Matt Wilson will return to the saga of Conan the Barbarian this December in KING CONAN! The superstar creative team relaunched the tales of the Robert E. Howard hero in 2019 to critical acclaim and are back in this long awaited limited series that will take the story of Conan further than has ever been revealed in ANY media to date!
As Robert E. Howard posited, when King Conan grows restless on the throne, he sails west, toward land and adventure unknown. Now see the first step of King Conan’s fateful journey from Aquilonia, as an old and terrible danger threatens to end the saga of the Cimmerian once and for all!
“I knew as soon as Mahmud, Matt and I finished “The Life and Death of Conan” in CONAN THE BARBARIAN, one of the absolute personal highlights from my career as a comic book writer, that I wasn’t done hanging out with everyone’s favorite Cimmerian,” Aaron said. “As King Conan rode into the sunset at the end of that story, with his son, Prince Conn, by his side, I always knew where I wanted that story to take us next. Now at last comes that next chapter, as Mahmud, Matt and I reunite to reveal a pivotal moment in Conan’s life as a king, as a father, as a mortal enemy of snake-worshipping Stygian wizards and as a barbarian who was born to chase the wind, even to the ends of the earth.”
“By Crom, we’re finally bringing the barbarian-turned-king to the readers,” Asrar said. “It’s criminal how much I’m enjoying drawing each panel in this book considering what we’re putting him through.”
Don’t dare miss the first issue of the adventure of a lifetime when KING CONAN #1 arrives on December 15th! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Les pleureuses sont de retour.

Je n’arrive même pas à comprendre ce qui les gêne/choque dans l’utilisation de ce nom.
Ce n’est pas le vrai personnage historique, on s’inspire seulement de son histoire et, a priori, on ne présente même pas spécialement le personnage sous un jour mauvais…
Tori.
Voilà : Aaron, d’après ce que je comprends, se sert du personnage comme un vecteur afin de bien faire comprendre que le véritable personnage historique a été une victime.
Un personnage métaphore, ou parabole, genre roman à clés.
Mais non, ça, ils peuvent pas comprendre.
On va attendre qu’ils rebranchent leur cerveau.
Jim
T’es pas pressé, alors !
Jamais.
Trop peur d’être déçu.

Le pire est que c’est Jason Aaron qui doit faire des excuses publics 
Aaron il n’est pas amérindien donc il n’a pas le droit de parler des amérindiens.
Merci le wokisme !
Ce sont quoi les ventes de Conan aux USA ? 20k singles ? Wouhou…
Alors qu’il a quand même bien démontré, avec Scalped, qu’il sait faire parler les Indiens.
La preuve, il a démontré qu’ils sont aussi butés, cons et violents que les Blancs. Totale égalité.
Sérieux, quel monde de merde.
Jim
