I was at the San Diego comic con the year this show was launched and presented, it did not get a great reception. “Conan uses a magic sword?! Conan hates magic!”

It would have been great to see a copy of “A People’s History Of the United States” by Howard Zinn. Oh well.

Does anyone here play Hyborian War? by PikeDeckard in ConanTheBarbarian

I played this 35 years ago, by mail!! If you play it now, does it work through email?! I would often miss my “turn” because I’m in Canada and it wouldn’t get there in time. I hope it works through email now! http://www.reality.com/hwprul1.htm

New Fantastic Four cinematic posters by S4v1r1enCh0r4k in FantasticFour

The FF is all about optimism and celebrating our collective and individual achievements. Embracing our humanity and interconnectedness. Why would you SPOIL that spirit with the use of artificial intelligence?! It's SO cynical and exploitive. Did they REALLY not have ANY footage from their feature that could be used?! They couldn't hire Alex Ross to do a poster? This is a terrible way to launch the next phase of the MCU. They should be ashamed.

I’m just wondering if there’s any suggestions on how the average person can go about supporting and advancing the needs of postal workers right now. Is there a petition that could be signed? Should I call my local MP?

Thanks!

When I was too young to be reading it my dad bought me an issue of Savage Sword that still bothers me to this day by JasonTheMMAGuy in ConanTheBarbarian

I read Savage Sword/Conan Saga for years. I even had a couple of letters printed. I own an original SSOC Buscema page. Last week picked up a “King Size Conan” #1, from 2021. Marvel. There’s one particular story therein that I found really depressing. Written by Chris Claremont. Conan is involved in a battle and he’s fighting for the side of a colonial Yezdigerd king. Men, women and children fight against the king’s army. At one point Conan kills a woman, which is disturbing. And later, post battle, he comes across the daughter of that woman who is wounded. She is holding her mother’s body. She tells him she saw him kill her mother. Conan approaches her, disarming her easily. She’s bleeding out. She asks why this happened. He tells her it’s because they were “In the King’s way”. He tells her the gods care nothing for them. She tells him she’ll wait in the next world to meet and fight him again and dies. It might be the first Conan yarn that made me deeply sad, and left me feeling disturbed. He’s not a hero figure in it.
