    I like Charles work so he would be cool, but Gail Simone is my favorite comic book writer so she is my #1 pick for sure. Her Red Sonja is divine!

    Well.. I, as a fan of Cap, actually liked the HydraCap story and what it tried to represent... I guess I also prefer to be optimistic rather then permanently pessimistic, but thats just me!

    The rights to Red Sonja is included in the deal?

    Intereting development. I don’t know where a character like Conan would fit into the Marvel universe. Marvel didn’t really do much with Angela when she joined the mix. They made a concerted effort, but couldn’t really make it work. Makes me wonder if maybe they’ll try something different with Conan. I’ve enjoyed his crossover series with Red Sonja. If Marvel and find the right writer and artist, I think this has potential.

    I doubt it. I think they still belong to Dynamite, who are currently publishing a (Rather good!) ongoing for her.

    I have read more Conan,the Barbarian and it was not a comic book that i would be able to collect month in and out because of budget issues and distribuition issues (it was much more easier to find new x-men comics that Conan comics way back), having said that i remember liking a lot the Conan stories illustrated by John Buscema.
    Then there was Savage Sword of Conan that was a mature comic book that i even read less that Conan the Barbarian,but the ones i read were good if you dont mind comic book stories in Black and White.
    About stories details i am sorry but i can not remember much because it have been several years since i read the Marvel Conan comic books.

    I found this in his instagram (He's a big fan of the Cimmerian)

    Talking about writers he seems like a good choice,Gerry Conway and Mark Waid are other writers i would like to write Conan comic books.

    Remnant of a bygone era? That just means it has a lot in common with many of the comics Marvel makes. And maybe after the current Axel years Marvel needs to get a little problematic

    Problematic in the fact that there are similarities in the mythology to the Thule Society nonsense. Something most try and sweep under the carpet but knowing quite a bit about the latter makes the former feel very uncomfortable reading. Nobody wants to be that problematic.

    You're comparing Conan to Nazi occultism? That's a stretch. I bet you desperately want to claim that anyone who reads Conan today is also a Nazi sympathiser, that's the logical conclusion of your baseless insinuations. Best leave politics out of this and let people enjoy fun adventure stories like Conan. Assuming of course that Marvel isn't stupid enough to ruin Conan as a character over some misguided political agenda.

    No one has ever tied Conan into any type of nazi beliefs, Conan was supposed to be a proto Irishman, which makes sense as Robert E. Howard was an Irishmen himself

    Howard actually wanted to do historical novels but he felt it'd take too much research, so he just built his own world, which has become a staple of fantasy fiction

    Never followed Conan, but I certainly would for Ribic

    Conway would be interesting especially after his awesome Carnage run. Didn't he quit/get fired recently though?

    Loved Secret Empire and both Cap books that led up to this. Spencer's whole point seemed to be "enough of this hero vs hero crap. Fix it now before it's too late". Seemed directly pointed at Marvel. I think they are about to right the ship.

    The hero vs. hero crap was done already, Bendis and Spencer brought it back for Civil War 2 and Secret Empire
