A new chapter of the Titan comics & Heroic Signatures massive narrative event: Scourge of the Serpent. A thrilling story about Conan the Barbarian facing violent abominations written by a Bram Stoker Award Winning Author.
“What do you know of the Cult of Set?”
In Zamora, the city of thieves, Conan meets Valja, a thrill-seeking thief. She entices him to join
her on a heist, where they steal a golden statuette of Ishtar, said to contain the goddess herself.
After killing a dozen guards and failing to escape, the pair are saved by priestesses of Mitra. But
Conan knows that nothing is free.
The priestesses have need of their skills. They have waged war against Set, god of chaos and
serpents, who demands constant sacrifice from his subjects and massacred thousands of his
followers. Yet they are no match for Uzzeran, a powerful sorcerer, who has been performing
unspeakable experiments on humans in the name of Set. To defeat Uzzeran, they will need a
legendary warrior on their side. They need Conan the Barbarian.
It's a good one!
"It's a good one. The big adversary is fun, and the action is well done. The companions Conan meets in the course of the story are interesting and well articulated. There is a lot going on but it's fast paced and solidly holds your interest until the end. The payoff at the end is satisfying. There are nice little arcs for each character. The writing is good. Nothing feels cliche or repetitive. Worth checking out if you typically enjoy this sort of thing, and works as an introduction to Conan if you haven't tried anything with that character yet."
