Conan and the People of the Black Circle
May 13th
Conan the barbarian is one of those legendary characters who rises and falls in popularity over and over again throughout his existence, but always returns. In the 80+ years he’s been around he’s seen popularity in prose, video games, movies, and comics. His last movie appearance in 2011, with actor Jason Momoa portraying him, was sadly a bust.

Apr 25th
Yes, that might read odd, but it certainly is right. Dynamite Entertainment has made a deal with Dark Horse comics for digital publishing of Dynamite’s many titles in an electronic medium.
