Last year, Jim Zub teased Bêlit's return during our interview at San Diego Comic-Con. While he had previously shown Conan's memories of Bêlit, it was great to see them together in this volume. The later stories also introduce another fan-favorite character from Marvel's original run. While I always enjoy Doug Braithwaite's art, Danica Brine's two issues also evoked Conan The Barbarian's rich heritage at Marvel Comics. Here's all the info:

Fans of Robert E. Howard’s legendary hero will devour this next installment of Conan the Barbarian comics, filled with high adventure, savage combat, ancient gods, and rollicking sword-and-sorcery action!
Volume five of this epic series is masterfully crafted by the critically-acclaimed team of Jim Zub and Doug Braithwaite, with the new addition of this series’ first female artist, Danica Brine!
Featuring two epic tales of sword and sorcery starring Robert E. Howard’s iconic barbarian hero.
Conan the Cimmerian and Bêlit, Pirate Queen of the Black Coast, are in their prime, enjoying a life of decadence and debauchery, but a flagrant flash of wealth brings unwelcome attention from thieves with a taste for danger and agents from Stygia on a dark mission for their serpent god!
In the days following Bêlit’s tragic demise, Conan traveled through jungles of the southern kingdoms but there’s no time for grief – a deadly hunter stalks the Cimmerian, bent on bloody vengeance. Who is this strange foe and what do they know about the ancient power rising in Stygia?
The triumphant new era of Conan continues in this tale of brutal heroic adventure from acclaimed creators Jim Zub (Avengers, Dungeons & Dragons), Danica Brine, and Doug Braithwaite (Punisher, Justice)!
