It is so cool to hear from Mark that he and Sergio have already started work on Groo v. Conan. II'm sure it will be a blast. The quintessential (and original) barbarian rogue hero vs. the quintessential barbarian rogue hero parody. But when I looked at the Dark Horse Conan forum a couple years ago when the Groo/Conan crossover first came up seriously, I was quite surprised to find out what a bunch of snobs some of them were with regards to Groo.  How in the heck can Conan comic book fans be snobs? I mean come on. It's Conan! And it's the comic book Conan for crying out loud. I'm a big fan of the Conan books and stories. I own and have read every one. (See, now I'm being a snob!) I've got my opinions on the post-Howard authors that are good and the ones who stink. But to think that Conan stories are somehow above a crossover with Groo is laughable. These guys take their action adventure escapism way, way too seriously.   But anyway, I mentioned the reaction some of the Conan fans had to the idea of Groo  v. Conan to Sergio and his response was "I don't care what the Conan fans think, I only care what Groo fans think."  Just thought I'd pass that on. Take care all, Gary G. If it actually comes out at the end of 2012, that mean we waited Three long year. Boy time sure flies.---Mike Skinner
