Plot Summary
Overview
Busiek reunites with artist Greg Ruth, whose art "is gorgeous to look at, conveying a different but equally lush vision of Cimmeria" according to The Fourth Rail. This story looks deeper into Conan's earliest adventures. Having crippled a bullying playmate, young Conan's become a solitary figure. Born on the battlefield and destined for greatness, the boy's shown a fierce independence and bravery. The adults don't know what to do with such a formidable child and the other boys are afraid of him. When he discovers an Aquilonian wizard and daughter living in the woods outside his village, Conan is torn between his respect for their rogue existence and his chance to become a real Cimmerian warrior by exposing the foreign spies.

Born on the Battlefield: Part Two: Wolves in the Woods
This is the second part of the childhood of Conan stories put out in this Conan series, essentially making this 'Born on a Battlefield: Part Two.
Wolves in the Woods and the Battlefield stories are both two of my favorites in the series. I kind of wish there was an entire 'young Conan' miniseries. Conan, slowly coming of age reminds me of that novel Clan of the Cave Bear where Ayla needs to learn to hunt and defend herself and such.
A great series and I really like the way Greg Ruth draws the characters. Gives it a good feel.
