So it's Not!Conan wandering through the land of abandoned Marvel marketing tie-in properties?

[obsidianwolf]

I mean it makes sense to use an alternate Arkon as Not Conan but it doesn't really catch my interest.

I mean if they wanted a sword and sorcery style mini why not use an alternate reality where Kulan Gath's spell went world wide.

Does Marvel have the rights to him, or is he tied with Conan and/or Red Sonja?

In any case, they dip into the barbarian genre with the Planet Hulk mini.

[obsidianwolf]

Marvel created and owns him IIRC I know he was used in Exiles and Universe X a few years ago.

Marvel just can't reference Conan or Red Sonja when they use him any more. So they can reference his clashes with spiderman but not the whole Red Sonja possessing Mary Jane to help thing.

I think Dynamite was the last to use Gath, so Marvel might have lost the rights at some point along the way.

[obsidianwolf]

That was around the same time that Marvel released a Mini staring Spiderman and Red Sonja I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a deal Marvel gets to do the mini and Dynamite got to use him as a villain. Not to mention Dynamite getting to re-publish some old marvel stuff in the Omnibus editions of Red Sonja.

Of course a quick google search doesn't turn up who actually owns the rights so who knows for sure.

So essentially its Conan and Morgan Le Fey?

[obsidianwolf]

I really hope the issue explains why he isn't using his lightening bolts to just zap himself home or at least attempting it if they no longer work on planet retread I mean Battle world.

Speaking of Arkon's lightening bolts now I'm curious if Scott Summers still has the set he was given by Arkon during the time he and Storm saved his world that showed up during the Asgardian saga over in New Mutants.

I like your version better.

[remial]

are Morgana's minions the magma men from Crystar?

[his_spiffynesss]

I think so, and the Apelanteans are probably a reference back to their Planet of the Apes comic tie-ins

[ogrebear]

I wonder if Woodgod is on this world....?
