Dive into the heart of Hyborian intrigue as Steeven breaks down the thrilling Conan the Barbarian #6: Thrice Marked for Death Part Two from Titan Comics!

Following the loss of his beloved Bêlit, Conan joins forces with the Glory Hounds, a gang of audacious thieves, to infiltrate the Temple of Bel in Shadizar. But when the fabled artifact they steal—Tarim’s Touch—is revealed to be a shard of the dreaded Black Stone, chaos erupts! As ghostly horrors descend, the crew’s heist turns into a desperate fight for survival, with Conan’s unmatched savagery and quick thinking their only hope.

From brutal combat against armed monks to a spine-chilling confrontation with three malevolent specters, this issue captures Conan’s raw power and resilience. But as the Black Stone’s dark influence tightens its grip and treachery brews among his own crew, the stakes grow ever higher. What do the spirits mean by calling Conan "worthy," and what shadowy fate awaits him as the specters vanish into the night?

With insight into Jim Zub’s masterful storytelling and Doug Braithwaite’s visceral artwork, this episode delivers everything a Conan fan could want—and more.
