Savage Avengers, Vol. 1: City of Sickles by Gerry Duggan
2.0
I love over-the-top action movies and I love Conan the Barbarian, so this one was recommended to me by a colleague and should've been perfect for me. In theory.
Sadly I'm having the same issues with this as I do with most superhero comics: there are too many main characters; there are too many villains; too much action, etc. There's nothing to rest your eyes or your mind on for a split second and everything just whirls on in one single long action scene. Why do they have to cramp everything so tight together? A crossover could've been fun if Conan had met up with only one of these Marvel characters instead of five of them at once.
I'm not even going to begin to try and explain the plot any more sophisticated than this: There's bad guys, and there are six good guys. They fight. A lot. The end.
