/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

Taking bets. What are the odds on the gods being mocked, or super over represented because the writers read it shares the lovecraft universe?

To be fair, Conan disdained gods in general but not because he was a fedora, but because his own god Crom was a dick that spectates his followers' suffering because its fun to him. But I expect Aaron to fuck this up.

Conan's biggest foes in this run will be sexism and the patriarchy.

Shame that nice cover gets paired with a shitty witer.

>ITT: not reading the initial pitch

Aaron said that he reads the original novels since he was a teen, and the first twelve issues of this ongoing series will try to "thread together many different periods and aspects of Conan's journey, from Cimmeria to Aquilonia and beyond."

Meanwhile, there may be at least one more Conan book to be announced for early 2019, and may involve Russell Dauterman.

>Militant atheism

Bets on not mentioning Mitra and the other deities at all?

Beware of retroactive feminism.

That means jackshit if he wants to advance his own regressive ideology.

Yeah, just like all of the faggots from the comics industry who claim to be huge fans of' and 'heavily influenced by' Kirby's and Ditko's work, but only signs of that in their work are superficial elements like Kirby dots and acid trip visuals. Based off of his twitter, he is a fan of the aesthetic but other than he is just another typical Marvel hack. He is no better than Lovercraft 'fans' who think that tentacles, fish people, and kilng in yellow is all there is to it.

Closest book to Conan that Aaron wrote is GodDamned, and it was not very good. It also had black Noah and Cain being the 'good guy,' so make of that what you will. I went through his twitter history as well, and Aaron's oldest mention of Conan and E. Howard coincidentally happens when it was announced that Marvel got Conan rights.

Hopefully I will be proven wrong.

>le regressive

Regressive is the gayest term ever. Progress itself isn't a real thing so neither is Regress when it comes to politics. Technology progresses, people don't Stop using the terminology entirely instead of trying to reframe it to suit your own views.

You wont be. Aaron's Star Wars comics are the worst ones ever written. He managed to mess up Darth Vader's personality in the very first comic. He's shit. If a writer can't even get Vader right, how can one expect him to get even less popular characters right?
