Holy crap! I can't think of any other way to describe how awesome this issue is. Already being a fan of Brian Wood and his work on Northlanders, (which saddened me when it ended) I expected this series to also be awesome. So far this has been a pretty good series and I've been enjoying it but holy crap did wood and Harren knock one out of the park. The story was great but I think most would agree that would especially stood out was the art. James Harren did an amazing job; my jaw dropped when I came upon the scene of them reaching the port and continued to deliver panel after panel. The plot was fantastic, having him doubt Belit's plan and knowing the risk but still choosing to go ahead and go through it was great. And it definitely left me wanting more, wondering whether or not Belit will keep her promise and give Conan his freedom. This is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated reads each month.
