"Timothy Truman (W/A), Ben Truman (W), Joe Kubert (A), and Joseph Michael Linsner (Cover) On sale Sept 23 FC, 40 pages $2.99 Ongoing After Conan left Cimmeria and entered into a successful career as a brutal mercenary, he became the leader of Princess Yasmela's Khorajan army. In the calm after a successful campaign, Conan quickly tires of his pampered life as the princess's protector and lover. While Joe Kubert shows us what trouble a restless barbarian can get into on royal palace grounds, Tim Truman takes us back to the Cimmerian village of Conan's youth-where a surviving Skrae creature claws its way toward Fialla, Conan's mother. o This standalone story, called 'Home for the Hunt,' has ties to both the 'Cimmeria' story arc from 2008 and the current 'Black Colossus' arc! o With a nod to the past and hint at what's to come, this issue is perfect for both longtime readers and for intrigued fans who are looking for a 'jumping on' point. Legendary artist Joe Kubert's first sequential Conan work!"
