This collects issues 4-6 of Titan’s Savage Sword of Conan. Quite the mixed bag.
Issue 4 includes one Conan story and five back up stories featuring other characters. Not much happens as every story is a prologue to Titan’s Black Stone crossover event. I enjoyed Solomon Kane by Patrick Zircher and El Borak by Ron Mars and Mike Perkins as they felt more like complete stories as well as prologues.
The high point for me was the King Conan story by Jason Aaron and Geoff Isherwood from issues 5 & 6 in which King Conan deals with a witch as well as a cult of witch finders. The story and art rocked. I also really enjoyed the prose fiction short story by Matthew John from issue 6.
The rest of the stories and art didn’t connect with me.

It's a step backward, but I haven't lost faith in the series. The main problem here is the entirety of the first issue is dedicated to launching a Conan tale separate from the Savage Sword series, which was allegedly supposed to be dedicated to standalone stories from an ever-changing lineup of writers and artists. Sure, you get introduced to most of Howard's other famous protagonists, but I'd rather follow a single one of their tales per every couple issues, as was the case with Solomon Kane in the first volume.
You get two Dark Agnes tales in volume 2, the first of which features truly atrocious artwork. Mix c-tier anime with Zenescope and you get an unintentionally voluptuous horse's backside. Something like that will take you out of the story real quick. To be fair, the story on this one will also take you out of the story real quick. The other Dark Agnes story improved the art, but it wasn't a good choice for black & white with thin but plentiful long lines adorning each panel from top to bottom. The characters and the story get lost in those lines.
Despite the three stars, this still gets a high recommendation. The sorcery side of sword & sorcery is in fully effect with a stellar and lengthy Jason Aaron tale that makes up for every downside of this collection. But that horse booty removes a full star. You gotta see it to believe it.

The lead-in to the Battle of the Black Stone segments were mostly inconsequential, however the Jason Aaron story was absolutely amazing, and felt like it advanced the canon of Conan (heh...say that three times fast) past where it's been stuck for years. While I found the art a touch busy this time around, it still got the job done.
I gotta say, I wasn't sure about Titan getting Conan, but they're doing a damn good job so far.

Titan continues a strong run with this second volume of Savage Sword. The art is a little less consistent in quality than in the first volume, but the stories are strong as is the variety of subject matter.

Not as good as the first volume. Not sure if I'll continue reading it.
