Groo vs. Conan #2
The crossover that shouldn't work but absolutely does continues with issue two of four, as a massive, triumphant Conan towers over the bumbling Groo — swords raised, the crowd around them going wild with Aragonés-style chaos. Groo's little dog Rufferto watches the mayhem with admirable composure at the corner of the frame, a small island of calm amid the dust and pandemonium. Sergio Aragonés and Thomas Yeates bring their distinct styles together on the cover with impressive cohesion, blending sword-and-sorcery muscle with cartoonish energy in a way that makes this 2014 Dark Horse miniseries feel like a genuine treat for fans of both characters.

Conan agrees to slay Groo, as Groo’s legend grows more and more fearsome by word-of-mouth. In a park (and just barely in an opened-ended hospital gown), Sergio falls from a tree, bringing about a delusion that he is Conan. There, Sergio is fed and accepted by a group of homeless people. En route to slay the mighty Groo, Conan meets Groo and, not knowing who he is, befriends him. Groo and Conan arrive at the town, where a rumor-mongering peasant tells a gathering at the inn of the great battle between Conan and Groo – where Conan slays Groo.
