Conan The Barbarian: Scourge Of The Serpent – Volume 01 Issue 04

“Part Four – Unity Or Death”

The truth has been revealed to Kull, Conan, and John Kirowan. Set, the great serpent god and earth mother, has spirited the three heroes through time and space for a proposed alliance. But why? What has caused a god of such power to tremble with fear before them?

Something older than the gods themselves, is on a collision with planet Earth. A Woeful Eye, unseen by man, except in dreams and horrific nightmares. If allowed to make contact with man and their world, all will be lost. The future of humanity is hanging by a thread. It is clearly evident in three different eras. So sayeth the Shaman, Gonar the Seeker.

“In The Coils Of Set: The Origins And Legacy Of The Great Serpent”

Review

We have reached the conclusion of Titan Comics’ latest miniseries starring three of Robert E Howard’s most iconic characters. From this tale we learn of darker forces more powerful than the gods themselves. I enjoyed this series even if it was a repackaged telling of Howard’s original works. With Jim Zub and Roy Thomas at the helm, I foresee many more great adventures for Conan and his ilk. I give this issue and the series as a whole four out of five stars.
