Never read or watched any Conan in my entire life, but this creative team is going to change that. Wood and Cloonan are both extraordinarily talented creators, and even more so when working together. Can't wait.

Haven't read a Conan comic since before John Buscema stopped drawing it, but I might check this out. Seems like a potentially interesting, outside the box choice for a creative team.

I'm definitely in, but maybe in trade rather than monthly. While Wood is clearly capable of doing very filling single issues, his more longform work just seems to read better in one sitting.
"'Kirby got a shitty contract too, so get over it' isn't a great tagline."

I've read some of the pulp stories, but not so much the comics. Definitely in for this, though.

If you haven't read the Busiek/Nord issues of Conan, you're definitely missing you out. You should check them out if you get the chance.
That being said, I'm definitely looking forward to Wood on Conan.

This is awesome, great news! I dig the Dark Horse Conan books in general, really enjoying Road of Kings at the moment, and I love the epic nature of the Conan story. 25 issue run with Conan and a pirate queen, this sounds like dynamite.
DROKK IT!!

i'm really excited about this news. i've only recently gotten into conan comic books, i have the first three busiek & nord volumes and the fourth is on its way from amazon. and brian wood is one of my favorite writers, with northlanders being one of my favorite books ever. not familiar with cloonan's art, though i think she did have a single issue for northlanders (or was that fiona staples?) i saw a few of her conan sketches someplace online last night and it looks good. can't wait!
