Conan: Scourge of the Serpent spins out of the pages of Titan's FCBD 2025 special. This new four-issue limited series is the first to pit Conan against the legendary snake god Set, as Set's grim plans for humanity finally come to fruition. The series is written by Conan veteran Jim Zub and illustrated by Ivan Gil (Berezina). The first issue features covers by Roberto De La Torre, John McCrea, Geof Isherwood, Matias Bergara, and Chris Stevens.

Here's Titan's official summary of the series:

Spinning out of the pages of the Free Comic Book Day Special, the new Conan epic starts here!

CONAN OF CIMMERIA has encountered Stygian sorcery and snake-sent creatures many times in his grand adventures, but he has never faced the true unspeakable power of SET... until NOW.

The serpent god's influence coils around the Hyborian Age and every other age linked to it. Three stunning supernatural stories will weave together to answer a chilling question of past and present - What is Set's grand plan for humanity and, now that it's begun, can it be stopped?

Conan: Scourge of the Serpent #1 will be released on September 24, 2025. You can find preorder links to each cover below:
