I think the idea of a barbarian battleworld is really really dumb
Like, if it's a part of a series and the barbarian age is just the past and the future isn't also a barbarian world, then that's fine
But if it's perpetually barbarians, that's super dumb

>>84233706
are you talking about He-Man?
also, have you ever read "Almuric"? its got a pretty neat world of Eternal Barbarians with super-exaggerated sexual dimorphism

>>84233706
i know i'd have a lot more respect for the primitive tribal folks of the modern day if they were more badass and barbarianesque instead of just a bunch of starving little guys without metalworking.

in any case i love this genre every so often, i get into moods, but they don't last. i think it's because there isnt much depth to it. it needs to be part of a larger fantasy thing so when i get out of the barbarian mood i can just nerd it up with some wizards for a while

>>84233938
why do you say it lacks depth?

A fierce giant heavily armored tiger, who always has his master's back? I wish that i could have one, even if it looked stupid.

>>84234157

Huh.
Lightning shield guy is Arkon, you've seen him in Secret Wars: Weirdworld. Iirc, he lusts after Storm.

>>84234983
and Scarlet WItch. and, to an extant, Thundra

>>84235040
I only remember Storm because X-faggotry.

Love me some Conan. My uncle lent me a collection of the old stories and I've been on the Darkhorse comics ever since. He also lent me the books of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and the 90's comic mini-series drawn by Mike Mignola.

Conan v1 (Dark Horse) is one of the best comics ever made.

Been on a Burroughs kick that led to me buying Warlord. I'm planning on diving into it after finishing Pellucidar, assuming I don't get sucked into more Tarzan first. I've also been thinking about picking up some Kamandi, all I've read are a couple back issues I picked up out of state at a comic shop much better stocked than my LCS.

>>84236337
Kamandi is a must read, senpai.

That's Battlecat's helmet/mask design. Without it, his nose is like any other cat's.

>>84235511
anyone have that mini?

>>84236039
his whole origin story?
>>84236626
but why design armor specifically to look retarded?

Design's preference is matter of personal taste Battlecat had different redesigns through the various incarnations of He-Man. The more classic is the one portrayed already. Personally i like it most, beacuse it's the most firerce one. Then there is the 200X sabertooth design.

Then in the Eternity War comics, Battlecat had another armor for a while, before return to his classic look.
