Summary
A new era for Conan！ The barbarian has faced many foes since leaving Cimmeria， but the greatest challenge lies ahead！ Conan finds himself in a city in the mystical Uttara Kuru， farther on the eastern border than he has ever traveled。 And with a new city comes new dangers！ Unfamiliar with the language， Conan inadvertently agrees to be the latest entrant in the Great Crucible！ The people of the city support their foreign champion。。。but what deadly dangers does the Crucible hold - and what will Conan sacrifice to overcome this ordeal？ Equipped with only his strength and wits， Conan must survive deadly traps and a cadre of rivals！ What is the true nature of the Great Crucible？ And with only a local boy named Delian to translate for him， can anyone - or anything - be trusted？

Conan is such a good "grunt" book。 The stories are ultimately entertaining and rich， but the reason I read them is for the action。 Just a fun ride to read this title。"Into the Crucible" - This story has Conan unknowingly becoming "the people's champion"， which forces him to participate in a semi-hunger games style competition， where a group of heroes have to make their way through a cave of traps and beasts。 It is said that all the blood shed during "The Crucible" goes to worship Challi-Mai， a l Conan is such a good "grunt" book。 The stories are ultimately entertaining and rich， but the reason I read them is for the action。 Just a fun ride to read this title。"Into the Crucible" - This story has Conan unknowingly becoming "the people's champion"， which forces him to participate in a semi-hunger games style competition， where a group of heroes have to make their way through a cave of traps and beasts。 It is said that all the blood shed during "The Crucible" goes to worship Challi-Mai， a local god who demands it。 When he wins and makes to the Magistrate， he finds out that Challi-Mai is not real and the leaders put on the contest yearly to sate the people。 As his reward， Conan takes an extremely sharp katana called "Tooth of the Nightstar"。。。 which he then uses to kill the Magistrate and leave town。"Curse of the Nightstar" - Conan continues on his journey， but begins to have visions of battle。 Whenever he comes out of them， he sees that he has actually killed real people who were around him。 Unable to control the curse， Conan murders many。 Eventually， he fights against the spirit of the sword and is able to silence it， but as he does， he is immediately arrested。 To be continued next Volume。。。Great action， good gore， action for all。 Love Conan。。。Recommend。 。。。more

Bloody good fun！ Jim Zub takes over from Jason Aaron and delightfully veers from the heavy mythological arc to the high adventure pulp saga nature of Conan。 Vastly entertaining。

I’m a sucker for most Conan Stories and this one was a good ride。 Fun reads don’t always have to be the best， as long as their fun then that’s all that matters。 And this， this was good Conan savagery fun

I’m glad this series has stayed afloat despite a six-month COVID delay and a change to a less “big name” writer。 I enjoyed these issues just as much as the first 12。

Jim Zub tell us two stories in this trade， the Crucible and the Curse of Nightstar， two adventurous stories that might feel a bit bland for the avid fantasy reader， but still undoubtedly fun， and is leading up to a what looks to be a bigger story in th next volume， so count me in。

The Conan Hunger Games of the first three issues was pretty solid but the possessed sword was blah。
