Today is a Fantastic Day for Invincible Fans
Invincible fans can officially look forward to even more of their favorite animated superhero series after receiving a major announcement.
The official solicit synopsis for Conan the Barbarian #25 reads, "THE NOMAD: Conan the King welcomes a strange visitor with an even stranger mission. Can the Ruler of Aquilonia prove his mettle or will the mysterious wanderer’s incredible power change the course of history?" The issue features main, wraparound cover art from Alex Horley, as well as variant covers from artists Roberto de la Torre, Doug Braithwaite, Jonas Scharf, and Danica Brine. The Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged #1 will feature main cover art from Roberto de la Torre and variant cover art from Boris Valejo, although its whopping 64-page format certainly makes up for the lack of options in terms of cover art for such a momentous release.
As per the official solicit synopsis for The Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged #1 from Titan Comics, "REFORGED revitalizes the legendary black-and-white magazine with vivid, all-new color restorations, bringing new depth and intensity to Conan’s celebrated adventures. This new series kicks off with two of Conan’s most iconic stories: Tower of the Elephant featuring art from the legendary John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala, and The Frost-Giant’s Daughter from the incomparable Barry Windsor-Smith, now recolored to fully capture the brutal majesty of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age... The sword is drawn, the battles rage, and the legend is reforged."

The Flash Going Through Major Changes Behind the Scenes
One of the hottest DC Comics titles is getting a major shakeup with its creative team, and the change is coming sooner than readers expected.
CBR offered fans the exclusive reveal that Titan Comics would be taking over the Conan the Barbarian brand in print back in 2022. Titan Comics' ongoing Conan the Barbarian series launched in July 2023 and quickly found a strong foothold among fans. The move came as a surprise to many, especially after Marvel Comics had spent almost half a decade integrating Conan into not just his own line of Marvel Comics titles, but also into the primary Marvel Universe through titles such as Savage Avengers. Since making the leap to Titan Comics, Conan the Barbarian has continued to astonish and impress fans with a variety of tales that are every bit what readers have come to expect from their favorite Hyborian Age antihero.
Conan the Barbarian #25 and Savage Sword of Conan: Reforged both go on sale this October from Titan Comics.
