There a new comic series just started from DC that might appeal to sword & sorcery readers. Have a look at the review, with pages from the fantasy lead AMETHYST and the post-apocalypse re-envisioning of BEOWULF, at:

Beowulf art by Jesus Saiz.
And there's another good review at http://retcon-punch....d-of-sorcery-0/

TONY BEDARD: My whole life has been preparation for “Beowulf”! I devoured the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Robert E. Howard and Michael Moorcock in high school. The whole reason I got into reading comics was because my girlfriend bought me a copy of SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN! I own several swords, a spear and a battle-axe. In some ways this is my easiest writing gig because this stuff is in my blood and it just seems like the most natural thing in the world to spin a ripping yarn about a guy who solves every problem by hacking his way through it. If only all of life worked that way.

I think many would wish the current CONAN THE BARBARIAN comic from Dark Horse had art this good...
