Title:
Conan The Barbarian
Synopsis:
Wrath of the Necromancer!”
Writers: James Owsley and Val Semeiks

Artists: Val Semeiks and Geof Isherwood

Conan has been shot in the back with an arrow by Anneka. He finds himself on a ship controlled by Thulsa Doom. A sea serpent destroys the ship and Conan comes to a house on an island. Doom threatens Anneka’s life if Conan doesn’t give his. Conan chops off Doom’s head. He wakes and with Kobe’s help binds his wound. He goes after Doom who has taken Anneka to an abandoned temple of Set. Conan confronts him before he can sacrifice Anneka, and they go back to the dream realm. Conan knocks Doom into a pit that leads to Arallu. A big explosion and Conan finds himself back in the world with Anneka alright.

This was a disappointing issue. Not a lot really happened. Conan gets tossed around in a dream reality. Doom plans to take Conan’s life to bring his back. Conan does something and poof, Doom is defeated and everything back to normal. It just seemed that after introducing Doom to the story, Owsley/Semeiks decided to just get rid of him quick. Probably a good idea if this is the best they can come up with. Hopefully the story goes somewhere better next issue.
