Jason Aaron Returns to Conan the Barbarian for Titan’s Savage Sword of Conan

As a dedicated fan of Conan the Barbarian, I can hardly contain my excitement as I hear that Jason Aaron is returning to write for the iconic character once again! Ever since his tenure at Marvel ended, Aaron has been keeping busy with various projects, but it’s always a thrill to see him rejoin the world of Conan.

Jason Aaron is back to working on Conan the Barbarian after finishing his exclusive deal with Marvel. He’s been keeping active, contributing to IDW Publishing’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relaunch and writing DC Comics’ Absolute Superman as part of their All In project. During his time at Marvel, Aaron and artist Mahmud Asrar began Conan’s ongoing series. Now, the rights have shifted to Titan Comics, allowing Aaron to create another story for the mighty King Conan.

Titan Comics revealed that Jason Aaron is set to collaborate with the Savage Sword of Conan team for a fresh King Conan storyline commencing in October. This anthology series comprises various stories penned by diverse creative teams. Specifically, Aaron and artist Geof Isherwood are responsible for the inaugural installment of a two-part King Conan narrative. Simultaneously, Michael Kogge writes and Dan Parsons illustrates a Young Conan tale. Joe Jusko and Alex Horley contribute with cover art.

Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar teamed up once more for Marvel’s “King Conan” series, taking the iconic character on a journey further into the future than any previous Conan tale. Be prepared for what awaits King Conan when issue #5 of “Savage Sword of Conan” hits shelves on October 30th.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2023, editor Matt Murray made this statement when introducing The Savage Sword of Conan: “Since revealing our new comic book line, fans and creators have been eagerly demanding the comeback of this famous title – but only if it returned in its classic black-and-white anthology magazine form. Keeping this a secret has been challenging for us at Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics, but we’re confident that we can meet expectations and continue the legacy of the original. With our current roster of writers and artists, as well as those we’re in discussions with, we believe we can create an enthralling new chapter in Conan’s fierce saga.”

For fans of Conan, don’t miss out on San Diego Comic-Con to discover more announcements and unveilings from Titan Comics. ComicBook has previously shared sneak peeks of the unique Conan the Barbarian cover editions that will only be accessible at Comic-Con.
