The Punisher is Crom-curious and Doom invites Conan to dinner. I love this book.

Started off kind of slow but improved a bit quite quickly. It's a fun, non-demanding read, though I'm really not sure what it's got to do with the Avengers since it's clearly a Conan book.

These are the kind of kooky team-ups Marvel used to do all the time with Marvel Team-Up (Spidey & guest star) and Two-in-One (The Thing & guest star), but with a LOT more blood and gore. Basically Dark Age team-up, but now it’s Conan the Barbarian & guest stars. Conan and Punisher, Conan and Dr. Doom, Conan and Dr. Strange.
I’m all about the Savage Land, which was the focus of the first book, but here they exit pretty quickly, traveling through South America then New York then Latveria then Hell then weirder places. The stuff between Doom and Conan is fun, as they have a meal together then do the buddy cop thing. I like how Duggan is subverting expectations here, giving all the violent bloodletting some nuance. But not a lot. This is “savage” after all.

I feel like I shouldn;t be enjoying this titke a smuch as I am. I've never been a Conan fan. Nor am I much of a Worlverine, Venom or Ounisher fan. But tis book is FUN and silly and I can't wait to read the next issue.

An even higher dose of ridiculous action with a capital-d Delightful detour in #6, which isn't drawn by Zircher and thus looks and feels radically different: a bright, colorful romp through Savage Land that features Conan bashing a dinosaur's brains in with a machine gun and Punisher sparring with a wild wolf. It's all very silly and fun, which seems to be the trend for the series as the 5 other issues in the trade are just as insane. From Conan having a casual feast with Doom to the long, long, loooong beatdown of Kulan Gath, it's easy to tell just how much Duggan relishes writing every punch, every spell, and every witticism. It's loads of fun, let's just hope it won't get stale as the issue count goes up.
