Conan the Barbarian #12 (Titan, 2024)

Delving deep into the bowels of Atlantean earth, Kull's royal retinue of Conan of Cimmeria, Brule the Spear-Slayer, and the elite Red Slayer guards followed their king in search of a mysterious evil. Prying open ornate doors wrought from ages untold, they were set upon by a murderous, subterranean horde who slew many of the king's guards. Undeterred, Kull led the remaining party ever deeper, coming at last to an ancient burial chamber and a black stone sarcophagus bearing the mark of a malevolent eye. Brule warned his king against folly, but Kull's obsessive madness set him on a doomed course, flinging open the coffin to reveal an ancient Atlantean blade and more as well. For from the shadows, a dark figure rose to seize the sword, stabbing the Valusian king and unleashing death magic upon the king's brave allies. THULSA DOOM had been reborn, ready to rule all ages unconquered.
