Posting from Cross Plains this week, during Robert E. Howard Days, and it's a deep cut in a Howardian vein as we look at Conan de Cimmeria (2021) by Ángel Gª Nieto, Julio Rod, & Esteban Navarro, a Spanish-language graphic novel.

My review of the 2025 Free Comic Book Day issue of Conan the Barbarian just went up! My 60th review at Grimdark Magazine.

The prelude to this fall’s Scourge of the Serpent event will weave together three Robert E. Howard classics.

Friendship is at the center of the complex plots that make up Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, and it was fun to write Kamira and Veelk's friendly banter. This time, it's Veelk who has the last word.

Image contains four books in Pacts Arcane and Otherwise series by Joanna Maciejewska: By the Pact, Scars of Stone, Shadows over Kaighal, and Demon Siege, and the following text: Veelk shrugged. “I heard it from Salgie. She was quite upset last night.” She couldn’t resist throwing him a playful smile. “Really upset or wanted your good nature to take pity on her?” As expected, his confidence never faded. “I made sure to cheer her up, be her worry true or not.” “It’s the coins that made her happy, not you.” The grin she received in return reassured Kamira that her jab had missed, but she hadn’t expected otherwise. “But these were my coins.”

It's a deep cut in a Howardian vein this week as we talk about Robert E. Howard fandom and "The Ballad of Conan" (1983) by Anne Braude.

I'm currently getting back into #BoL, in my opinion the best #SwordandSorcery #ttrpg(!), & the #LemurianChronicles. Not since #Symbaroum & perhaps #Dolmenwood or #OutoftheAshes have I liked a setting so much in recent years. The French also achieve something visually impressive! Very pleased so far!

My review of Conan the Barbarian #20 just went up at Grimdark Magazine!

With this two-parter, it finally feels like artist Doug Braithwaite had material that showcased his strengths.

📜 Who seeks a true tale of high fantasy?

No courtly kisses. No love triangles.
Only steel, storm, and the whisper of gods.
A saga wrought in fire and fate —
100% heroic. 0% romance.
