Conan of Cimmeria has traveled across the Hyborian Age. Recently, ancient magic opened a portal between worlds. Conan befriended Ian Aranill, also known as Dragonero. After returning to Conan's world, they recovered the gems that prevented an ancient demon from entering the Hyborian Age. But their journey across two worlds took time. And when they secured the gems, no portal offered them rapid transit back to Tarantia. Without Myrva’s skyship, Conan and Ian endured a long journey across desert, river, and sea.

 

Now, Conan and Dragonero have reached Tarantia. But the gems have been away from their resting place too long. Nightmarish creatures slay the fleeing inhabitants. Can Conan and Dragonero kill the lesser demons terrorizing Tarantia? And can these warriors from two worlds stop an ancient demon from invading the Hyborian Age? Let's shout "Khame Adwerte," leap into Conan & Dragonero #7, and see!

 

Story

As they battle the street demons, Ian Aranill remains a stranger to Conan's world. But when Ian asks about the creatures and how they relate to otherworldly events at the temple, Conan shrugs off his friend's ponderings. Dragon blood gave Ian a connection with the winged species. He wonders how magic works in the Hyborian world compared with his own. But Conan isn't interested in how sorcery works, or why the ancient demon sent its foot soldiers ahead. So, he leads his friend to the temple where priests guarded the powerful gems. 

 

In Kuthchemes, Conan and Ian saw how badly things could go when Humans sought to control the gems. Yet when the heroes from two worlds reach the temple, they discover how much worse the Hyborian World is without the gems. In Conan & Dragonero #7, many priests collapsed while protecting Tarantia from an otherworldly being. Amid a glowing portal in the ceiling, the ancient demon's tentacles seek to break through the remaining priests' magical barrier.

 

Luca Enoch and Stefano Vietti keep the action flowing as the heroes battle the ancient demon. Ian and Conan must combine their strengths to reseat the gems in their resting place. But the otherworldly invader won't make it easy in Conan & Dragonero #7.

 

Art

Clad in a loincloth and boots, Conan swings an axe at the demons scrambling across the streets. Ian, still wearing armor and a cloak, attacks them with a sword. The street demons slash the warriors with their claws. Their incisors extend far beyond their giant maws as the street demons attempt to bite off their attackers' heads. Lorenzo Nuti continually changes the shape and orientation of his rectangular panels amid the fighting. Conan and Ian race over an arched footbridge without glancing at the bodies floating in the canal.

 

Scarlet splashes as the heroes battle the demons scrambling across cobblestones or clambering over classical architecture. Ian's armor and cape feel at home as he stands beneath a turquoise-and-tan canopy in the abandoned marketplace. As the warriors ascend the orange-and-red splattered steps toward the temple entrance, the yellow energy within makes the structure glow. Lorenzo Nuti dots the purple-blue sky with dark specks as storm clouds swirl above the temple in Conan & Dragonero #7.

 

Richard Starkings and Tyler Smith fill white balloons with black uppercase letters. They italicize words as voices grow in intensity and swell in volume. Text also changes color as Conan fears for his friend and swears by his god. As wind roars through the carnage-strewn streets, lesser demons and their master screech and scream, and Humans die.

Final Thoughts

When Aquilonians established a foothold in Cimmeria, Conan joined the battle of Venarium to repulse them. Yet after securing Cimmeria’s independence, Conan later helped defend an Aquilonian fort in Pict-held lands at Conajohara. Now, he defends Aquilonia's capital city against an otherworldly invader. Alongside Ian Aranill, Conan fights to prevent an ancient demon from establishing an otherworldly stronghold on the Hyborian world in Conan & Dragonero #7.
