KULL #6

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Arvid Nelson
Pencils: Will Conrad
Covers: Will Conrad
Colorists: José Villarrubia

At odds with a dangerous Valusian cult, Kull attempts to use guile and diplomacy -- instead of brute force -- in an attempt to save Pict leader Ka-nu's life and crush the devious Serpent Cult's schemes. Another Pict ally, the headstrong, stealthy Brule, infiltrates the Tower of the Great Serpent against Kull's wishes. Brule is on an assassination mission of his own making, and stealing a powerful, sought-after gem from the stronghold would be an added bonus -- and would bring the wrath of the vicious, shape-changing snake-men to Kull's front door! Arvid Nelson (Rex Mundi, Zero Killer), Will Conrad (Serenity, Conan and the Midnight God), and José Villarrubia (Conan the Cimmerian, Ghost Rider) expand upon the events in Robert E. Howard's short story "The Shadow Kingdom" and conclude Dark Horse's first Kull series.

"Perfectly depicting the two sides of the Valusian King, Nelson understands that when you bring to life a Howard story you need to keep the feelings that the original tales evoked. Needless to say, a strong story can't stand alone in the sequential world-Will Conrad's beautiful style completes this tale . . . I couldn't be happier with the pairing of Nelson and Conrad on this title. Dark Horse has once again proven to me that they are the kings of Howard's works." -- comicsbulletin.com

"LIAR'S POKER", Part 2
The latest addition to Marvel’s red-hot Noir line offers a unique spin on the Man Without Fear! Prohibition-era Hell's Kitchen is no place to be a blind man, but it's tailor-made for a vigilante. On one side, you've got the Kingpin; on the other, Orville Halloran, fresh out of Sing Sing and ready for war. Daredevil has tangled with both of them before, and as temperatures rise in the Kitchen, a third player comes to the table: the Bull's-Eye Killer. Who does he work for -- Fisk or Halloran? Murdock needs to find out, and fast, for the sake of the mysterious Eliza. But there's more to her than meets the eye...
