Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown #2

Conan crouches low against a city rooftop — sword in hand, expression locked in that familiar grim intensity — while Black Cat looms behind him, masked and clawed, against a backdrop of blazing theater marquee lights. It's a genuinely striking collision of worlds: Robert E. Howard's Cimmerian warrior dropped squarely into the neon-lit urban landscape of the Marvel Universe, rendered here in a cover by Mahmud Asrar. With Saladin Ahmed writing, Luke Ross on art, and Nolan Woodard's vivid colors inside, issue #2 of this five-part series keeps the unlikely team-up moving at an entertaining pace.
