Talk:Conan the Barbarian 92

I have never been happy with the official placement of this story. It posits that Conan escapes and then recaptured by a second group of Hyperboreans who place him in identical chains to those he was wearing at the conclusion of 254. The flashback CTB 254 feels like it was obviously written to directly precede CTB 3.

To me the whole thing feels very contrived and awkward. A smoother fit to me would be reversing the order of the 'Legion of the Dead' and the 'The Thing in the Crypt' adaptations. In this order Conan would join the group of Aesir we see him with at the opening of Legion of the Dead at the conclusion of his conclusion of his encounter with the crypt monster. This reverses what the stories original author Sprague De Camp intended but works better for the comics chronology, at least for me. 58.95.196.158 06:56, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the feedback! You make an interesting point there, and God knows I've already rearranged a couple of stories to fit my comfort zone already...I'll go back and take a closer look at those stories this weekend and get opinions from some of the experts over at conan.com.  Feel free to register and make any corrections you feel are warranted!  I'd love an extra set of eyes to fix all of my mistakes!--YardIHS 02:08, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
