Conan & Dragonero #3 review

CONAN & DRAGONERO part 3 (of 7): The Gems of Aquilonia (chapter two)

The Margondàr mountains. Conan's dragon sends a flock of wild wyverns to attack the dirigible of Dragonero's sister!

Conan of Cimmeria, Ian Aranill Génhu Varliedarto Romevarlo (Dragonero the Erondarian imperial officer) and Myrva Aranille engage the wyverns.

A wyvern tears the balloon of the Technocrat airship, the skyship goes down and crashes into a village.

Conan's dragon has found an Undine (a water elemental) to heal its lacerated wing.

Conan's dragon mentions Ian Aranill, Herion Eukenill (Ian and Myrva's grandfather, of the Order of the Varliedarto/Dragon Conquerors, who slew the renegade dragons who wanted to rule over everything and everyone) and the bastard sword called Saevasectha/Cruel-Cutter. Since it was elsewhere in another dimension (stealing gems in Tarantia (capital of Aquilonia)), Conan's dragon lived on.

The Undine (who is linked to the dragon spiritual network known as the Mother Souls) cannot divine what Conan's dragon is planning to do with its stolen magical gemstones.

Dragonero is brought to Wak Sasir who confirms that Conan's dragon passed over their border village.

The Cimmerian and Dragonero reach the lair of the Undine and find Conan's dragon waiting for them.

À suivre.

What I did like:

Part One of an interview with Luca Enoch & Stefano Vietti!

A selection of Lorenzo Nuti's initial designs for the ancient dragon featured in this issue.

An eye-catching new exclusive cover by Max von Fafner!

What I did not like:

It's Saevasĕctha not SaevasecHTa.

I give it a 10/10. The cannot miss crossover made in Italy continues!

Transformers #18 (2023) review

Is Shredhead totally in my face? Yup! With Robert Kirkman’s Void Rivals having launched Skybound’s Energon Universe, noted writer/artist rolled-into-one Daniel Warren Johnson takes the reins on the linchpin of this initiative, the flagship Transformers comic series! Well, he maintains the reins on the writing of this series at least, as does Mike Spicer on colors. Jorge Corona has taken over regular penciling duties with a style all his own. In this eighteenth issue, Shredhead kills some guys you may have liked, Ultra Magnus boxes a helicopter, and the Decepticon civil war comes to an end with the return of… well, c’mon, you know. Does Shredhead arrive at the fireworks factory? There’s actually relatively little to do with Shredhead here, aside from an opening fight scene where he showcases how badazz he is by killing some name characters. One of the victims in particular I was kind of annoyed by, considering he just got his first new toy in decades and has always been a fan favorite f...

Void Rivals #17 review

Void Rivals Has Secrets To Reveal! It does and it continues here with issue # 17! Void Rivals is Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici’s sci-fi comic that tells the tale of two crumbling planets linked by a “Sacred Ring” (it’s not Halo), their peoples at war for generations. When a member of each culture are stranded together, the two find they must put aside their differences if they want to survive. This story takes place in the so-called “Energon Universe”, Skybound Entertainment’s initiative to relaunch properties like Transformers and G.I. Joe within a shared universe that also happens to include the original characters and setting of Void Rivals. In this seventeenth issue, the secret of Zerta Trion is revealed, Darak has a “friendly” chat with his father, and Proximus is on the rampage! Proximus? He was cool. He was! And that continues here as him and his new kid sidekick go on a quest together. It’s unclear exactly what Proximus wishes to get out of it, but he’s clearly no longer...
