That looks pretty darn good. Different from previous Conan adaptations, but not in a bad sense. I hope the series will know success, because it clearly deserves it.
I don't mind the adaptation not being as literal as some fans would have it. Some writers stick more closely to Howard's prose, some take a few liberties; but here, Brian clearly respects the spirit of the character and of the story, and that's all I could ask for.People in white coats (science cartoons, updated daily) | Art Blog
