How come the people that wanted non-sjw comics aren't reading Conan the Barbarian? The current comic run in 2025 not only has zero woke shit, it has so many highly problematic tropes that will give anita sarkeesian an aneurysm.

I traveled back to 2015 reading this post, but the comics look very good

I've been reading it. I like it a lot. Both it and savage sword. Non cape books always have trouble getting traction though.
>>
>>151558079
It's been on my pull since it started, but one week it ended up at the bottom of my pile and I fell behind. I think issue 4 was the last one I actually read, and each month catching up feels less likely.
>>
>>151558079
It looks boring. There's no life in this art. The girl looks cute, but that's not enough.
I think a lot of people looking for those things are already reading manga.
>>151558145
This reminds me of Prince Valiant, but more dull. The violence should be more brutal, the action more kinetic.
>>
>>151558079
>no tits shown
>women in fighting roles (you’ll seethe and imply I don’t know who belit is)
>boring art that doesnt really show anything sequentially and just sort of acts like picture book art would as snapshots of plot points
This to say nothing of how dogshit savage sword is. And to say nothing of the retarded crossover bullshit.
>>
>>151558079
Meh, I just don’t like it. Way too decompressed and as: >>151558520 said, not enough tits. But it’s mostly the decompression and laborious writing.

>>151558145
SSoC has an awful creator line up most of the time, I hate anthologies and I really hate Solomon Kane. And the other two point tie into the second, I don’t support a single creator (like Richards pace) who I dislike, nor do I buy books about characters I don’t like - this is why modern anthologies dont work.

>This reminds me of Prince Valiant, but more dull.

Hal Foster was a very big influence on John Buschema who was in turn a big influence on Robert de La Torre.

>>151558606
There's a good amount of tit. People sort of overstate how brutal and tit filled the old savage sword books were. I do think I'd like more done in one stories though but the new Savage Sword is covering that pretty alright.

>I hate anthologies and I really hate Solomon Kane.
I hate you.

>>151558079
Issues 16 & 17 were ugly woke gay nonsense. Dropped the book at that point after debating it for a while. Might as well have been a romantasy.
>>
>>151558680
You can’t even spell Big John’s name right. QFT about comics authoritatively.
>>
>>151558079
Because people that constantly complain about that shit aren’t actually interested in reading comics, dumbfuck.
>>
>>151558079
Conan is not everyonebody's cup of tea.
>>
>>151558079
I've never been that interested in Conan, it always seemed like one of those things that is so anti-woke it loops around to being gay. You can't just completely hate women
>>
>>151558680
Anthologies suck dude. A bunch of 8 page decompressed shit and two or three stories not worth paying for. Writers like Jason Aaron, Ron Marz and Dennis culver, artists like Richard pace.

I hate these people. Why would I want to spend more money per issue than a normal release when the added pages are by people I wouldn’t read for free let alone spend money on?

Anthologies dont work in an incestuous, tiny industry so obsessively insistent on pushing the same writers over and over. They function better for new blood to cut their teeth.
>>
>>151558784
Yeah given SSoC has been the woke of the two books with many of it’s stories Im surprised we haven’t gotten Stephanie Phillips, ram v, tom Taylor, King, Tynion etc

Feels like a matter of time

That is not remotely what Conan is about. Gor maybe but not Conan. You should at least read the short stories.
>>
>>151558784
This is your modern comic book “reader”, ladies and gentlemen.
>>
>>151558079
People just want to complain
>>
I only buy hardcovers.
>>
>>151558520
>women in fighting roles
I always found this to be a weird complaint, as if it hasn't been a part of fiction, mythology and folklore forever
>>
>>151558775
It shows that you've never read it. You should start with the books.
>>
>>151560196
It’s misogyny, anon
>>
>>151558859
He’s making a good point and you can’t see it because you’re autistically locked into seeing anthologies as good when American ones are nothing like manga ones.
>>
>>151558079
Anti woke grifters don't actually read comics they just see out of context panels and get triggered because a woman spoke
