A brand-new epic event in Titan Comics and Heroic Signatures’ Conan the Barbarian comic series written by legendary scribe Jim Zub!

Fans of Robert E. Howard’s reluctant hero will love his furious face-off against ancient enemy Set and his army of Serpent Men…


CONAN OF CIMMERIA has encountered Stygian sorcery and snake-sent creatures many times in his grand adventures, but he has never faced the true unspeakable power of SET...until NOW.

The serpent god's influence coils around the Hyborian Age and every other age linked to it. Three stunning supernatural stories will weave together to answer a chilling question of past and present - What is Set's grand plan for humanity and, now that it's begun, can it be stopped?

From Conan mastermind scribe Jim Zub and the wonderfully wicked art of Ivan Gil comes an epic event not to be missed by long-time fans of the barbarian.
