Out this week: Savage Sword of Conan #1 (Titan, $6.99): Titan revives the magazine-sized, black-and-white title that Marvel published from 1974 through 1995. The stories were “untethered from the bounds of the restrictive Comics Code Authority” at the time and featured more adult-oriented stories than its sister publication, Conan the Barbarian. This first issue includes contributions from John Arcudi, Patch Zircher, Jim Zub and Max Von Fafner, including a new Solomon Kane story.
