elhonez Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 ...he said, to crickets. Man, I can't be the only Conan fan, right? Barry Windsor-Smith anyone? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBurkie Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was always a fan of Sword and sorcery growing up. I remember reading the larger magazine Conan’s when I was a kid. Mostly I remember the pinups in the back. But bring on Conan mates! Do they have the rights to Red Sonja too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If they add Conan to the Epic line, I'm all in! There isn't A TON of stuff out there that depends on Conan licensing and continuity, but it would still be cool to get that stuff back in circulation. The Conan Essential volume from way back in the day was one of the first volumes to get crazy high on the aftermarket. Red Sonja isn't part of the deal.

Gillbob316 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I have to imagine that whatever deal Marvel has made to make Conan comics, doesn't necessarily give them the right to make Conan toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 You might be right about that. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I would imagine this is like the Star Wars deal: They can publish comics but it doesn't affect other licensing. And while I would buy Conan minimates I think they would probably sell like the other indie comic stuff: Not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Maybe they can work him into a set like they did with Angela. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I really enjoyed the What If when Conan met Thor. I would be really excited about some Conan minimates though, or just some more of the Dragon Age/Pathfinder minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not for nothing, but a RE Howard Through the Ages-esque boxset with a Conan, Kull, Bran Mak Morn, and Cormac Mac Art would be pretty rad. It'd probably be just for me though. If you can't tell, I've been on a Howard Sword and Sorcery tear of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
