Conan the Barbarian #8 (Titan: 2024) | Hither Came Conan


Listen Later

Brace yourselves for an unrelenting storm of steel, sorcery, and sacrifice as Steeven dives headfirst into Conan the Barbarian #8 (2024), the dramatic conclusion to the "Thrice Marked for Death" storyline from Titan Comics. This issue, penned by Jim Zub with gripping art by Doug Braithwaite, sees Conan battling not just external foes but the very spirits of evil that possess his mighty body.

In this heart-pounding installment, the Cimmerian’s past with the legendary pirate queen Bêlit intertwines with a brutal present where his body is controlled by three sinister spirits serving the dark ambitions of Thulsa Doom. Haunted by memories, trailing blood across Shadizar, and hunting the mystical Pict blade that could seal his fate, Conan’s unyielding will clashes against the darkness in an unforgettable climax. The betrayals, battles, and revelations cut as sharply as any sword—especially when the life of a child hangs in the balance.

Steeven unravels the twists, celebrates the intense artistry, and grapples with the emotional and brutal undertones of this compelling narrative. What secrets lie in the possessed barbarian’s memories? How far will he go to reclaim his freedom? And how will this incredible story arc set the stage for The Battle for the Blackstone this summer?

Don’t miss this unflinching examination of Conan’s darkest hour. Tune in for the blood, stay for the philosophy, and remember: Crom doesn’t care if you listen—but you’ll be glad you did!

Conan the Barbarian #8: Thrice Marked for Death Part Four: Sacrifice by Jim Zub, Doug Braithwaite, Diego Rodrigues, and Richard Starkings was published by Titan Comics on February 28, 2024.
