Groo vs. Conan #1
The crossover nobody knew they needed finally arrived in 2014: a massive, snarling Conan — clad in chainmail and a horned helm, twin swords drawn — squares off against the scrawny, wide-eyed wanderer Groo while a crowd of bewildered onlookers watches the chaos unfold beneath a pale sun. The tonal contrast between these two sword-wielding fighters is pure comedic gold, with Conan's grim menace playing perfectly against Groo's oblivious, spindly-legged bravado. Cover art by Sergio Aragonés and Thomas Yeates kicks off this four-issue Dark Horse miniseries with exactly the kind of energy the title promises.

In three seemingly unrelated segments, Conan defeats a wizard who uses “a man’s deepest horrors from his soul” against him. Sergio and Mark come upon a comic book shop being threatened with demolition by a greedy developer and his lawyer. Groo comes upon a bakery being threatened with demolition by a greedy king and his prime minister, and (inadvertently?) joins the king’s army. Sergio falls into a delirium and fancies himself as Conan, running about in an open-ended hospital gown. The townspeople of Groo’s world journey to Conan’s world and appeal to Conan to vanquish the dread monster Groo.
