@@NearMintConditionlook at the Savage Avengers omnibus the side of it looks like similar colors of the Conan omnibus. I’m really impressed with the Titan version. If only we had Chamber of Darkness #4 in vol.1 of the Titan series.
Already ordered mine. I missed out on all of the Marvel omnis because I planned on collecting Conan in Epic Collections. Now that Titan has the license, I have to get all of the omnis.
I thought most of Marvel's direct edition covers were meh to awful, so I like that Titan has gone with new designs for their run. I'm glad to hear the content is the same as the Marvel printing. This is the only volume of Marvel's printings of Conan and Savage Sword that I missed buying at the time, so I'm definitely in the market to pick this one up. Thanks for another superb overview, Omar, you answered every question I had about the book, as usual. Always appreciated!
Do the omnis in which Roy Thomas wrote most of the stories come out to about 9 or so for the Savage Sword and Barbarian Original Comics titles? About how many more if we include King?
Each of Barbarian and Savage Sword volumes 1 thru 4 are solid Roy Thomas, as well as King volume 1. There is more R.T. material scattered thru Savage Sword volumes 5,6 and 7, but Roy is no longer the sole writer. Roy came back late in both books runs, so add volume 10 of Barbarian. And there's probably 2 maybe 3 more volumes of Savage Sword to finish off that series if they get to it (Roy Thomas material).
Marver version has a much stronger red tone (Conan looks pins, like in the old Sony CRT TVs) while in the Titan version Conan looks whiter, what´s the more accurate version??
The Titan logo on top the spine bothers me. If you want the whole set, youll either have to deal with mismatches or wait years for the Titan versions to all come out.
I have from 5 up of both Savage Sword and CtB in Marvel Omnis, filling it in with Titan from 1-4 of both. Honestly they match so well I dont' even notice if I'm not looking for it.
Really glad Titan is pumping these out!!
So odd that this is shipping before Volume 2
Crazy that this came out before volume 2. I have had that on order for probably two years now.
Titan doing an amazing job with Conan.. so glad we got the chance to collect those omnibuses again.
Let's take a moment to appreciate Omar's "magician hands" as he whips off those dust jackets without tipping over the books!👏
FIVE Takes! lol

Titan is making the cover decision really tough with most of these conan omnis. Once again both covers look fantastic!

I am reading The Savage Sword of Conan Volume 2 these days, and having lots of fun reading it 😀
Perfect! I only have Marvels vol 1 and 2 and can continue the run!
I would keep the marvel versions. I really don’t think they will get the license back for Conan. Sun is killing it writing Conan.

Which omnibus are you keeping Omar? The Marvel or Titan ones?
I am confused. They cancelled my volume 2 preorder and i will get volume 3 soon. Can you explain please?

Looks like Marvel got a bulk discount on yellow crayons for this comic. Shame they didn't pass that cost saving on to the readers.

Stop sweating the little things. There are more important things to be bothered about. Enjoy your Omnis.
