Wolfskin

Genre: Fantasy
Story: Warren Ellis
Art: Juan Jose Ryp
Publisher: Avatar Press

Rate: 78/100

PROMO: Before history was recorded in stone and ink, some men wrote it in blood! From the time before history began... from the time when the continents were still connected by land... from the harsh climes at the top of the world, a Northish soldier wrapped in a cape of wolfpelts walks south, into the forests of the High Midlands that are now Europe, to find a village cut in two by travelers from the East. Soon, he too is torn - between duty to the lives he has ruined just by finding them, and duty to the hideous murder-god of the Northish wastes and the berserker drugs that are his sacrament!

Conan - Road of Kings


Title: Conan: Road of Kings
Genre: Fantasy/Sword and Sorcery
Story: Roy Thomas
Artwork: Mike Hawthorne and Johan Lucas
Color: Dave Stewart
Publisher: Dark Horse
Issues/Pages: issues 1-6
Year: 2010-2011.

ENGLISH(promo): “Conan: Road of Kings picks up the barbarian on the Vilayet Sea, at nearly the easternmost edge of Robert E. Howard’s map of the Hyborian age, and has twelve breathless issues to deliver him — black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand — to the westernmost shores of that age undreamed of,” Thomas continued. “To reach his destination, he must travel the fabled Road of Kings that winds its way through the civilized kingdoms — but along his path lurk inhuman monstrosities, malevolent sorcerers and not a few power-crazed men and women who are determined to see to it that he doesn’t make it.
“Dynamic artist Mike Hawthorne and I intend to make Conan’s westward odyssey a chapter in the Cimmerian’s life that readers won’t soon forget,” Thomas explained. “This will be a quite different take on Conan’s life than the one I pioneered at Marvel in the seventies and the nineties, with new adventures, new antagonists, even new and alternative sides to characters you thought you’d met before.”

The story follows a lone warrior from the north, frequently drawn into conflicts between mysticism and the dawn of machinery. It’s bloody, it’s barbaric, it’s brilliant!"


SERBIAN(review): Jebanje milosne majke, bio bi dovoljno dobar opis ovog stripa. Nasilno, krvavo, muževnog, varvasrko u stilu najboljih momenata legendarnog Konana! Uz odličan crtež (iako su neke scene prenatrpane i nejasne) prepun prosutog droba, jasnu priču o borbi između tradiciji i napretka, prirode i mašina, religije i nauke, omaška ne može da bude - zabavan strip (kakav on uvek i treba da bude) je pred nama!
