Beginning next year, Marvel Comics will lose the license to Conan the Barbarian, a character they have published intermittently for decades, and Titan Comics will launch a new universe of characters and comics based on the character. Rejoining Marvel in 2018 after a long absence, Conan will head to Titan in May 2023, where the character will get a new, monthly ongoing comic book.
"We had a wonderful run with Marvel Comics but ultimately they have decided not to extend their license beyond this year," Heroic Signatures CEO Fred Malmberg recently told ComicBook.com."Conan has more than 50 years of comic book publishing. We took the decision to pick up the baton ourselves, not only for Conan but all the other wonderful characters and IP that we control. The publishing program will commence next year but exact details are not final yet.
The Conan property belongs to Conan Properties International, an entity owned and operated by Heroic Signatures, a company dealing exclusively in licensing intellectual properties. In addition to Conan, Heroic also holds the rights to Robert E. Howard's Bran Mak Morn stories, Kull the Conqueror, and Solomon Kane, all of which seem to be included in Titan's license.
Guys, it's Titan comics, no need to open a stupid clickbait link
