Good story, lots of creatures and enemies, sorcerers and beautiful women. And a great characterization for Conan's sidekick. But ... This Conan is much more willing to chop off a head at the slightest confrontation, than Howard's Conan. Conan has always been comfortable with violence, but the sex and violence here feel gratuitous.

Joe R. Lansdale teamed up with his frequent cohort, artist Timothy Truman, on Conan and the Songs of the Dead, an ultra-violent (four head decapitations in the first six pages alone!), action packed opus from Dark Horse. Much like the portrayal of the eponymous hero in Dark Horse's regular monthly title and Robert E. Howard's original books, this is the thinking man's Conan who understands the consequences of his actions. Truman rose to the occasion rendering some of the best artwork of his storied career.
