HUNDRED WORD HIT #240 - THE CIMMERIAN: HOUR OF THE DRAGON #1
The Cimmerian - Hour of the Dragon #1 by Julien Blondel & Valentin Secher
In the latest mini series by Ablaze, featuring a completely uncensored Conan, everyone’s favourite Cimmerian is facing his biggest challenge yet!
Xaltotun of Python is resurrected by a bunch of Conan’s enemies and immediately set about invading Cimmeria which doesn’t end well for Conan.
Blondel’s script is gripping and Secher serves up some truly epic battle scenes, in fact his fully painted art throughout is fantastic.
My only gripe with this is that just under a third of the comic is taken up reprinting the original Robert E. Howard short story which I didn’t really have any interest in reading.
Rating 7.5 out 10
