Title:
Conan The Barbarian
Synopsis:
The Beast”
Writer: James C. Owsley
Artists: Val Semeiks and Geof Isherwood
An old dinosaur is half blind and about to die. It sees the village in the distance and decides to visit. At a checkpoint Kiev is arguing with an old crone who doesn’t speak any known language. Simeon comes and talks to her. A group of Hyrkanians then charge past. In the village, Conan has to put an arrogant general in his place. The old dinosaur comes into the village and Conan knocks it out. He orders that it be left alone. Later he meets up with Red Sonja. She tries to convince Conan to leave this mad endeavor and come with her. The Devourer of Souls visits Bahkt who is still angry at Conan. The Devourer has taken all of Bahkt’s men’s souls. He feeds one of the souls to Bahkt to transform him. The arrogant general decides to have his archers fire on the sleeping dinosaur. This pisses it off and it goes on a rampage.
Well, this is an issue filled with story. There are little vignettes that jump all over the place. Conan has to deal with an arrogant general. The Devourer has recruited Bahkt by transforming him into some as yet unknown creature. Red Sonja joins the story. That is something I look forward to. She is my favorite character from the REH stories, and this is already giving the plot a bit of punch. Ends with an old dinosaur causing trouble. Lots of stuff going on for the next issue to resolve.
