I AM CONAN, THE AVENGER

More on the "Fish Out Of Water" Avengers Series, Coming Soon

In this weeks Avengers: No Road Home we already know that Conan the Barbarian will join the Avengers in the limited series but he’s not done with them yet. He will be a member of the new series Savage Avengers from Gerry Duggan and Mike Deodato. Duggan told EW, "This is an unsanctioned team of heroes. It has to be something that visually makes sense to you, and I think it does. Mike Deodato Jr. is illustrating this book in both worlds. We envisioned a threat, a magical green zone where the evil wizards of Conan’s world are trading spells with the Hand in Japan. Conan is on a very Conan-like mission; he’s heard a tale of an amulet so he’s chasing it, and the evil magic sorcerers are doing something that would be a Marvel Avengers problem. It feels like we have found some very fertile ground that is a Venn diagram between those two worlds." The first arc will take the team to the Savage Land: "The Marvel heroes have not quite seen the likes of Conan before, but when you turn it around and look at Conan viewing this, he’s very skeptical of a lot of it because he’s so magic-averse. His interpretation of the Venom symbiote, when he first sees it, is that it must be an evil genie. There’s real fun to be had there. At one point Conan believes that Logan hails from somewhere called Pabst, and that’s a well-earned miscommunication. That’s where a lot of fun comes from. Conan is a fish out of water, but everyone will come to respect the skills they’re all bringing to the fight." The roster includes Wolverine, Elektra, Punisher and Venom. Deodado will only draw the first arc of the series since he has decided to not renew his Marvel exclusive and just do creator owned projects.

It all begins with the five issue mini-series SAVAGE AVENGERS #1 which ships with two standard covers and is currently scheduled to arrive on New Comic Wednesday-050119 with a $4.99 cover price. As always it will be Alternate Reality "1st Day Sale"  priced at 25% OFF ($3.75!) on the 1st and 15% OFF for the rest of its first week of release ($4.24!) while supplies last.
