By Crom!

"Throughout the series, Comic Rachel deals with mental illness, the death of her beloved dog (it's beautiful, and I cried), identity crises, careers, and bra shopping. It sounds intense, and it is, but with the stoic barbarianism of Crom, there's a hilarity in the refreshing lack of sentimentality. This same lack of sentimentality only gets better when later in the collection, Crom shows up awash in watercolors." Ginnis Tonik, Women Write About Comics

"Although some of Kahn's By Crom! comics juxtapose the fictional Hyborian Age that Conan comes from with the modern era and its coffee shops, public transit, and clothing that didn't come from an animal you killed yourself ... for the most part, it is about Conan as spirit guide; his warrior values are a chasm apart from Kahn's artist lifestyle, but she imagines a wisdom in his droll (and occasionally head-knocking) advice." Lauren Davis, io9.com

"By wrenching him from his context, Kahn reveals Conan's personality: all about raw personal authenticity, the kind you achieve by acting rather than angsting... making, rather than purchasing... travelling to, rather than importing from. This is a Conan who is still relevant today and perhaps explains why we keep coming back to the originals."

M. Harold Page, Black Gate

"This is a kinder, gentler Conan: less barbarian, more Spirit Guide-Psychiastrist; a trusted confidant, like a nonthreatening sensitive male Sex in the City-style friend (for instance, Kahn and Conan have the same taste in gladiator sandals). ... Ultimately By Crom! is an interesting subversion of so-called "traditional" gender roles. " A. G. Pasquella, Broken Pencil

"Whether it be laughter in the face of existential crisis or an armed assault on the depths of the dryer in search of that last sock, Conan always has a laconic wisdom to add to the situation. ... And sometimes he just helps you walk the dog and eats all your strawberries. Barbarians are like that." Scott Wachter, I Thought They Smelled Bad on the Outside

"The art in these comics and beautiful and so expressive. There's just so much honesty... This second installment of By Crom! is worth every penny, and it's worth supporting. " Sam Marchello, Cherry Blossoms and Maple Syrup
