Conan has made his triumphant return! The superstar creative team of Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, and Esad Ribic are bringing new tales of the sword-slashing hero to comic readers everywhere, and today, Marvel is proud to present this launch trailer for CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1 featuring Editor-In-Chief C.B. Cebulski, and Jason Aaron!

It’s the book I’ve wanted to do since I was literally 13 years old, and Mahmud is the perfect artist for Conan.”

“A good hero is always defined by a good villain, and Conan has some of the best. But for this storyline, we knew we had to come up with something special, so Jason Aaron came up with the Crimson Witch,” teased Cebulski.
