Conan and Belit continue their quest across Cimmeria for the imposter Conan. This issue was notable for two things, the first was the artwork from Vasilis Lolos, which I really liked, especially his backgrounds, which looked suitably epic. His wolves also looked great, really quite scary. His Conan did look a little feminine though. The actual story didn’t develop much here, but what did was the relationship between Conan and Belit. This is a very interesting romance, and it’s fascinating to see Belit, who is so powerful and confident when she’s at sea, be so different when out of her element. Wood has turned what could be a standard ‘hot chick in a chainmail bikini’ type character into something a lot better, which is cool to see.
