    I don't think we needed a new Savage Avengers book, even if it was fun, but jeez what a random assortment of characters.

    I guess they're going to get as much mileage as they can with a female Daredevil for as long as Zdarsky's run goes? I feel like Elektra would be done with it by Devil Reign.

    I never thought I'd see Weapon H again.

    Is this going to be a new Anti-Venom or Flash Thompason? Because he was Agent Anti-Venom and that looks like Brock's Anti-Venom.

    Nice to see Marvel still remembers Cloak and Dagger exists. I wonder if they're still together romantically.

    I guess Conan is grudgingly getting more acclimated to adventuring with people with "sorcery" powers (by his frame of reference).

    Hopefully Tyrone and Tandy are still together romantically. But if not, I hope he's not treated as moping and pining anymore. Elevate his character. Have him get involved with Elektra.

    Does Flash-Venom have his real legs restored? Just asking. Does he remember who Spider-Man really is?

    I'm not interested in Weapon H. Just the spectacle of this guy with Liefeld-length claws and a Hulk body is self-parody, to me. But hey, he's "popular". I'll leave it alone.

    I wonder what Deathlok this is, or does it matter anymore? Too many to keep up with. Potential traitor?

    I presume-- maybe? That these adventures are on contemporary Marvel Earth, or are they elsewhere? I also presume that the foes they face will mostly be disposable, e.g., Conan can kill them as needed.

    So is this an actual team book or is it just Conan Team-Up volume 2? Because if it’s the later, I’m not interested.

    I'm wondering if Dane and/or Jacks will be in it.

    Good point. They have identical costumes and share the sword (you can't even tell Jacks is a girl when she's suited up, and she was mistaken for Dane in the X-Men/Black Knight one-shot), so it could be either of them.

    This will be what determines if I stick around. Not up for "Conan plus some other people sometimes" part 2

    It’s a reversal of the first volume, instead of Conan wandering the modern day Marvel universe, it’s a bunch of heroes being transported to the hyborian age. Interesting set up, I just don’t like this team as much as the previous one. This is my first time hearing of Weapon H and he already seems dumb

    I'm really surprised not seeing a major X character on the roster

    The biggest missed opportunity is not including Tigra. She fits better with Conan's aesthetic than any other avenger.

    could the writer resist the urge to have the two of them (ahem) "dating"?
    I wonder what will be the gimmick that allows the modern characters to understand the language of the Hyborian lands.

    Conan works in Marvel stories.... that are set in the Hyborian age... not the present.... you know... back when Selene was still a young woman and people hadn't started calling En Sabah Nur Apocalypse yet... well also he wasn't born yet either.

    I have to agree that if Conan wasn’t there I would probably be into this.

    Having a licensed character in-continuity makes no sense. Once Marvel loses the license, you will have to pretend these stories do not exist like ROM.

    And he’s just not a Marvel character. Get rid of him.

    It's not the case, after all, but I'd be VERY intrested in seeing something like this. I always like to see oficious antagonists.

    I also don't like much this mix of Conan with the modern MU. It reminds me too much of when they threw Jonah Hex into the future. It kind of ruined the character for me.

    Peace
