In this riveting episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven delves into Conan #7: Blood for Blood, the explosive conclusion to Dark Horse Comics’ first arc of the legendary barbarian.

Struggling through the frozen wilderness below Hyperborea, Conan fights to survive against biting cold and haunting memories of his fallen comrades. Driven by vengeance, he tracks the treacherous Asgardians, Sjarl and Einar, whose betrayal led to the enslavement and deaths of his allies. The young Cimmerian’s relentless pursuit leads to brutal confrontations, shocking revelations, and a final act of justice that’s as savage as it is devastating.

But even the blood of his enemies cannot quench Conan’s inner turmoil. As he moves southward, weighed down by grief and guilt, a mysterious assassin in the distant province of Poitain sets the stage for future conflicts. With stunning artwork and a masterful narrative by Kurt Busiek, this issue is a raw and emotional exploration of loss, fury, and the hollow echoes of revenge.

Join Steeven as he breaks down this unforgettable tale, from Conan’s icy trek to the blood-soaked vengeance that leaves his soul unfulfilled. Don’t miss this epic discussion of one of Conan’s most harrowing adventures!

Conan #7: Blood for Blood by Kurt Busiek, Cary Nord, Thomas Yates, Richard Starkings, and Dave Stewart was published by Dark Horse on August 25, 2004.

Oh, and if the Bloopers this week feel like they are full of both rage and F-Bombs, well, that's because they are. Sometimes I just get in a mood.

Enjoy!
