    Back in the day when i was collecting Conan, Christopher Priest was writing under his pen name of Jim Owsley and wrote a damn good run with Val Semeiks on art.

    I'm kinda bummed about this, outside of Hellboy and Black Hammer Dark Horse was home to my favorite Star Wars, Conan, and Alien/Predator stories. Alien/Predator is still there for the moment, but I hope Dark Horse will be okay. They probably will ramp up the good horror comics, but I don't want to them to hurt badly with all these licenses gone.

    Does this mean that it's going to be canon again that Red Sonja is the ancestor of Mary Jane?

    Dark Horse Aliens and Predator comics have some of my most treasured comic stories of all time, and they revolutionized how movie-based comics were written. That being said, while Dark Horse still puts out great content, I'm a little tired of the miniseries approach to the franchises, not knowing when the next story will come out. Most of the 2000s, for example, had almost no Alien or Predator comics of note.

    Come to think of it, who currently owns the rights to producing Terminator comics?

    Red Sonja isn't part of the Conan license (which is weird - I would've thought that if it wasn't a part of Conan, it would be part of Marvel - wasn't it a spin-off from their old Conan series?). Dynamite publishes her.

    Terminator is at Dark Horse according to Wikipedia, but it lists nothing since 2015.

    Dark Horse really put out some great stuff for all their licensed properties. I haven't followed them too closely (just reading some stuff now after a long time), but yeah, the mini schedule is a bit weird. Although I suppose it's better to publish a story worth telling, rather than just print whatever in order to fill each month's issue.

    As for Terminator, Robocop and the like, I don't know. IDW I think published the latest stuff.

    I would like to see Mike Grell write it.

    I think this conan version will be another universe(not 616) this time and i think it will be rebooted again since dark horse rebooted conan anyway for it's own universe.

    Anything not created by marvel should be in it's own universe anyway like transformers when marvel had it for example.
    That was mistake marvel did with the first marvel version of conan.
    I think they have learn their lesson hopefully.

    I cannot help some of the things people are going on about Conan under current Marvel is, no offense, just plain silly... I mean, do people really think Marvel are going to turn him into some sort of 'genderfluid Muslim'? Its just hyperbole that does neither side any good. I just don't see how he can be anything other then the bad ass Barbarian he has been since his creation. Anyway, all that said, I think this is an interesting move. I have been meaning to start reading about him, given my love of Red Sonja, so this may be a good jumping in point.

    Except one of the two pieces of art used in this promotion shows Thor and Logan. I am guessing this might be a sign that he will be put back into continuity in some way. Odd though.

    It could be still be another universe or a crossover into each others universes or just art showing that conan is back at marvel.

    Great News.
    Looking forward to new comics by Marvel.Ribic illustrating for example would be already half of a great creative team for a new Conan comic book.
    And intrigued about new Tpb´s of older Marvel stories of Conan as well.

    I thought the name that he stated writing comics with, Jim Owsley, was his real name before he changed it to Christopher Priest?

    There's no excuse. Marvel should hire Christopher Priest to be the main Conan writer. He did a well-received run back in the 1980s.

    Marvel corporate should also look into buying the Conan character this time around. They really should have bought the character decades ago.

    With Disney buying FOX I'm thinking Alien/Predator will be taken from Dark Horse as well.
