Steel flashes, kingdoms tremble, and the Cimmerian’s legend only grows mightier. Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures are storming into 2026 with a trio of epic new Conan the Barbarian releases, and AIPT has your exclusive first look at the covers and full solicitations. If you missed it, check out the December solicits.
After redefining the Hyborian hero across two acclaimed years, writer Jim Zub and artist Fernando Dagnino return to close out their latest saga in Conan the Barbarian #28, as whispers of madness spread through Aquilonia’s royal halls and the barbarian’s path crosses that of a tyrant king. Meanwhile, the anthology juggernaut The Savage Sword of Conan #12 brings together a powerhouse lineup: Chris Ryall, Fabian Nicieza, Patrick Zircher, and Gabriel Rodriguez—for a blood-soaked celebration of sword and sorcery at its most ferocious.
And for those looking to revisit the chaos and glory of the past year, Conan the Barbarian Vol. 6: A Nest of Serpents collects issues #21–24, plunging readers into the serpentine heart of Stygia.
Featuring breathtaking new covers from Gerardo Zaffino, Sweeney Boo, Scott Campbell, Adrian Smith, Geof Isherwood, Dan Panosian, and Greg Staples, this latest wave of Hyborian adventure cements Titan’s Conan line as the definitive home for Robert E. Howard’s timeless hero.
Sharpen your blades and prepare your coin purses, the Cimmerians’ next conquest begins this January.
