>Armed with a new creative team and a bold lineup, the most dangerous group of Avengers returns more savage than ever this May!
>Ringo Award-winning writer David Pepose (SPENCER & LOCKE, SCOUT’S HONOR) will make his Marvel Comics debut alongside superstar artist Carlos Magno (KANG THE CONQUEROR, ROBOCOP: DEAD OR ALIVE) in a new SAVAGE AVENGERS run. The series will introduce an all-new, all different team of Marvel’s fiercest warriors that will resonate across every era of the House of Ideas! Revealed today on Marvel’s official Twitter account, assembling by Conan’s side will be Daredevil (Elektra), Anti-Venom, Black Knight, Cloak & Dagger, and Weapon H. Together, they’ll fight their way through the Hyborian Age with an evil Deathlok hot on their trail!
>Since his exile from the Hyborian Age, Conan the Barbarian has conquered the most dangerous foes the modern Marvel Universe has to offer—but what happens when this hard-edged Cimmerian finds himself on the run from the cybernetic soldier of the future known as Deathlok? Outgunned and outmatched, Conan must turn to an unlikely group of loners, berserkers and killers if he hopes to survive the night—but can these Savage Avengers defy Deathlok’s murderous manhunt, or will they become the next targets in the crosshairs of tomorrow?
“Making my Marvel debut with SAVAGE AVENGERS is like getting drafted to the Yankees and then being told you also get to play for the Rangers on the weekend—not only do I get to write Conan the Barbarian, one of the most iconic characters in sword and sorcery, but I get to throw him into the wildest adventures imaginable alongside a brand-new crew of Marvel fan-favorites!” Pepose said. “Teaming up Conan with Daredevil, Anti-Venom, Weapon H, Black Knight, and Cloak and Dagger allows so much personality and potential to this series, and artist Carlos Magno delivers showstopper after showstopper as he brings these characters to life—I can’t wait for readers to see what sparks fly when Conan and company are pitted against the most dangerous Deathlok of them all. Get ready to experience an epic battle of Cyborg versus Cimmerian, because this May, only the Savage will survive…”
"Working on SAVAGE AVENGERS is like a baptism of fire,” Magno added. “It's like David Pepose and I are dealing with nitroglycerin.”
>Don’t miss out on a bold new beginning for Marvel’s most savage Super Heroes when SAVAGE AVENGERS #1 arrives on May 4.
Anti-Venom sells more merch and videogame cosmetics.

So if and when Marvel loses the Conan license again, won't these comics be unreprintable like Rom?
Ryder Martinez
i will now buy the first volume omnibus
Tyler Parker
Goddamn this is a random line-up, I'm impressed.
Gabriel Cook
Not as much of a concern anymore, because Conan will enter the public domain in 2028.

How is Dane old enough to have a daughter in college? And how have I never heard of her till now, who made the retcon and when?
Juan Ward
So Marvel can use Red Sonja again in 6 years?
Mason Moore
The retcon was in the Spurrier miniseries he had last year. She was conceived when Dane himself was starting college but the mother never told him. So Dane is presumably in his late 30s, so I guess it checks out.
Jaxon Mitchell
Black Knight had a mini during King in Black written by Spurrier that revealed that he had a daughter when he was in college.
Justin Torres
Nope, because she wasn't created until 1973.
Cameron Bennett
What's so Savage about them? That they are willing to kill? Isn't that the same as that JLA spinoff where the members kill?
