Conan the Cimmerian #10 is the third part of a six part story arc.  The entire "Black Colossus" storyarc is worth reading - it starts in issue #8. Conan leaves his "home" once again and heads out trailing armies at war. He becomes a merc.  My summation makes the storyarc seem simple and boring, but the issues have great dialogue and art.

Issue #10 is called: "The Commander" because Conan is selected by the Princess Yasmela to lead her armies against the insidious and sinister Natohk. Of course she decides to hire Conan because of a "divine message." And of course she finds him in the streets after having drunk his full at the local taverns. And of course he thinks she is some petty whore. Ha ha! She leads him back to the palace and he discovers she is the Princess. She commands the other generals to follow Conan and allows Conan to select armor from the royal armory.

Conan looks regal in the new armor, but he's down to business - "Let us speak of war!"

This is good stuff. This is exactly what Conan stories should be like. Conan is a rouge, a merc, a general - all in one issue.
