CONAN: BATTLE FOR THE SERPENT CROWN Pins the Savage in Las Vegas
October 26, 2019 Off By Michael StagnoThe creative duo of Saladin Ahmed and Luke Ross are rolling the dice in sending Conan to where he’s never been, modern-day Las Vegas, in a new series, Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown.
Conan is back in an all-new series and in unfamiliar territory, outside of the Hyborian Age! The barbarian, created by Robert E. Howard, will dive deep into the Marvel Universe, meeting both its iconic heroes and villains, including the devilish Mephisto! The upcoming series will follow the savage as he navigates Las Vegas on an epic quest to find the Serpent Crown of Atlantis.
“Getting to write Conan the Barbarian taking on the Marvel Universe is a high-octane, widescreen dream gig for me,” said Ahmed. “The 616 is a world full of unimaginably-powerful treasures and absurdly wealthy kings — the perfect place for Conan to ply his trade as a warrior-thief. From Las Vegas to Atlantis, Conan will carve a path of plunder — and face some of the mightiest heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe!”
Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown #1 will launch the series in February, 2020. Release date coming soon. Stay tuned!
