Writer of the Amethyst feature, Christy Marx, is interviewed at
http://www.usatoday....series/1634273/
with several preview pages (only of the Amethyst lead, sadly but understandably) from SWORD OF SORCERY #1, that's due out today.

Here's tease of 1 page:

No lettered preview of the BEOWULF back-up (yet, at least). But here's a stunning spread from #0

from http://marcussour.tu...rd-of-sorcery-0
And there's an interview with all the creators at
http://www.dccomics....rd-of-sorcery-1
with an unlettered BEOWULF page from SoS #1, along with mention of writer Tony Bedard and artist Jesus Sais being huge CONAN fans.

I wonder if Dark Horse should headhunt them for a run on their CONAN series? ;)

Jesús has had a fair amount of Conan work (covers, some sequential art) in Spain, but that was quite a while ago. He's certainly getting better with age.

Thanks for that link, Cromsblood. :rolleyes:
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard
