Solomon Kane Pursues Evil Conan Artifact

Solomon Kane Returns with a Vengeance

Solomon Kane, a classic creation by Robert E. Howard, stands just behind Conan the Barbarian in popularity. The two legendary heroes teamed up in the 2024 "Battle of the Black Stone" event, with Kane making a notable appearance in the "Savage Sword of Conan" anthology. Now, the puritan witch-hunter takes center stage in his own miniseries, setting the tone for Titan Comics’ grand 2025 Conan event.

A New Adventure Unfolds

Titled "Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring," this fresh miniseries will unfold over four gripping issues. Acclaimed comic creator Patch Zircher, who also crafted "Savage Sword of Conan," will both write and illustrate the saga. The story is set to whisk readers from the Barbary Coast to the mystical canals of Venice. Here, Kane forms an unlikely alliance with a crew of rogues, united in pursuit of the Serpent Ring of Set—an artifact shrouded in evil. Devotees of Conan will undoubtedly recognize this as the malevolent weapon wielded by the dark sorcerer Thoth-Amon.

In a tantalizing preview, fans can catch a glimpse of four fully-colored pages from the debut issue, though they remain unlettered. This first solo series for Solomon Kane in more than a decade promises a thrilling ride through peril and mystery.

An Anticipated Comeback

Launching after 15 long years, the new miniseries marks a significant milestone for Solomon Kane. Not only does it revive a beloved character, but it also serves as a precursor to Heroic Signatures’ upcoming "Conan: Scourge Of The Serpent" event. While specific details remain scarce, speculation suggests ties to the previous year’s "Battle of the Black Stone" crossover. It might even reunite Conan with other Howard creations, culminating in an epic clash across time and space.

Adding to the allure of "The Serpent Ring" are the celebrated artists contributing their talents to the miniseries’ covers. Issue one alone boasts artworks from renowned artists such as J.H. Williams III, Mike Mignola, Andrew Maclean, and Daniel Brereton. Of course, Patch Zircher’s own cover is also among these visual treats.

Each of these captivating covers for "Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring #1" is a visual masterpiece, available for admirers to view in its entirety.

Solomon Kane: The Serpent Ring #1 makes its eagerly awaited debut in comic shops everywhere on March 26, 2025, offering fans a new journey with a classic hero. For those ready to dive back into the world of daring adventures and dark magic, this series is not to be missed.
