A storm comes on the horizon. When it breaks, Conan will discover the consequences of his choices, determining not only his own fate, but that of his entire village--featuring the formative event from Robert E. Howard's account of Conan's youth: the boy vs. the bull!

Wild Cimmerian Bull
Yes this is another installment into the Born on the Battlefields story line and as always, it is one of the best story lines Dark Horse has had in Conan. I look forward to every issue that's put out.
I like the grainy artwork, I see in the letters section tat many do not. Maybe it's just me, but it gives an air of 'realism' to the stories, perhaps making them feel like illustrated folk tales.
In this issue, Conan beds his first lass. Then he beds his second lass. Obviously foreshadowing the womanizing future Conan will have.
I am glad to hear that the same writer, Kurt Busiek who started this story will continue to come back for this specific one and hopefully complete it.
