A Tale of Two Barbarians, One of Whom Is Really Into Cheese Dip
 |
You’re looking at a picture from the upcoming Groo Vs. Conan comic from Dark Horse. I am losing my fucking mind right now. If you don’t know why I’m losing my mind, it’s probably too difficult to explain the appeal of Groo (mainly because when you explain it it sounds terrible). Let’s just say I read a lot of Groo as a kid, and I’m terrifyingly excited to see what happens when the world’s best barbarian meets the world’s worst barbarian. Issue #1 comes out from Dark Horse in April. (Via Comics Alliance)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
