Strap on your swords and ready your wits—Conan the Barbarian returns in a heist of epic proportions! In this episode, Steeven takes us into Conan the Barbarian #5, the explosive first chapter of the new Titan Comics arc, Thrice Marked for Death.

Still haunted by the tragic death of Bêlit, the Queen of the Black Coast, Conan drowns his sorrows in Shadizar’s shadowy taverns. But when the Glory Hounds, a band of misfit thieves, offer him a lucrative job, the Cimmerian sets aside his grief to join the most daring heist in Hyborian history. Their target? The heavily guarded Temple of Bel and a mysterious artifact tied to ancient powers—the dark stone called Tarim’s Touch.

Steeven breaks down the art, the intrigue, and the razor-sharp storytelling of Jim Zub and Doug Braithwaite, while exploring Conan’s inner turmoil and his role as a reluctant thief with a talent for chaos. Will the Glory Hounds succeed, or will this heist unravel into bloodshed and betrayal? And just what secrets does the stone hold?

Join us as we uncover the shadows of Conan’s past and the dangers of his present in a tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat!

Conan the Barbarian #5: Thrice Marked for Death Part One: The Heist by Jim Zub, Doug Braithwaite, Diego Rodrigues, and Richard Starkings was published by Titan Comics on November 22, 2023.
