Savage Avengers Volume 1, written by Gerry Duggan, is a high-octane crossover that integrates Conan the Barbarian into the modern Marvel Earth-616 continuity. The series begins when Conan is transported from the Hyborian Age to the modern-day Savage Land, where he encounters Wolverine. After an initial clash, the two realize they face a shared threat: a deadly alliance between the Hand and the ancient sorcerer Kulan Gath, who intends to summon the eldritch Marrow God, Jhoatun Lau.
The 29-issue run features an ever-rotating roster of Marvel’s most lethal and morally grey anti-heroes. Operating without government sanction or typical Avenger oversight, this "savage" squad takes on mystical and visceral threats across the globe. The overarching narrative follows the persistent, world-ending threat of Kulan Gath, culminating in an epic battle that spans time and space. The series is celebrated for its unique character interactions—such as the unlikely bond between Conan and the Punisher—and its blend of traditional superheroics with brutal sword-and-sorcery action.
⭐ Why This Series Stands Out
The historic introduction of Conan the Barbarian as a full-time participant in the Marvel Universe.
Features a "murderer's row" of anti-heroes including Punisher, Venom, Elektra, Wolverine, Doctor Voodoo, and later Magik and Deadpool.
The definitive modern Kulan Gath saga, elevating the sorcerer to a universal-tier threat.
Boasts atmospheric and gritty artwork from top-tier artists like Mike Deodato Jr. and Patch Zircher.
Includes legendary "unlikely pairings," most notably the iconic dinner between Conan and Doctor Doom (#8–9).
A complete 28-issue run (plus issue #0) that bridges the gap between classic Hyborian lore and contemporary Marvel events.
