Dark Horse Presents #21

Dark Horse Presents #21 brings Conan front and center in a cavern showdown, with Aaron Lopresti's cover pencils and inks delivering a muscular barbarian mid-leap, sword raised against a hulking, grotesque creature while a red-haired woman crouches amid a treasure chest overflowing with gold coins and gems — skulls lining the rocky walls in the background for good measure. The anthology package is equally rich, spotlighting John Arcudi and Maxim Šimić's "Worlds Apart," Dennis Calero's "The Suit," and more across its pages. A solid 2016 anthology issue for fans of sword-and-sorcery action and sharp anthology storytelling alike.
