Book Reviews of The Savage Sword of Conan, Vol. 2 (v. 2)
Book Review: Better than Volume 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I thought volume 1 was fun to read, but this one tops it. None of my enjoyment was ironic this time; I was sincerely impressed. The art is immaculate, the writing is spot-on, and the entertainment-to-price ratio is extremely favorable! I didn't even notice the few printing glitches that appeared often in the first volume.
There's one problem: Chapter 3, "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth," feels out of place here. It reads like it was written by stoners... The action is hurried and implausible, the dialogue is sublimely stupid, and even the art looks cheap - as if this story was imported from one of those "bad" early-1970s comics that people online now make fun of.
Even so, I still award this volume a full 5 stars because the rest of it was so good. (Warning - Conan stories are violent and may be offensive to women. However, this does not prevent them from being totally awesome.)
