In Arcadia, X has gained a reputation as an assassin who kills for a reason. His vendettas are clear, and his enemies have always been warned if they have crossed his moral line. But bodies have been turning up in the streets, bodies that have X's mark on them -- the bodies of innocent people. A copycat killer is on the loose, and if you think X is ruthless in his pursuit of "business," wait until you see him get personal!

Some guys think power is a gun to the head, a knife to the back. They think it's muscle that makes you tough. Those guys, they're not even criminals. They're hoods, 'cause there's always someone with more muscle, someone who won't fold like a bad hand. Now real power, that comes outta lying and lying big and getting the whole damn world to play along with you. That kind of power can be bigger than truth and a hell of a lot stronger than one old cop and one little girl. That kind of power, that can end lives.

Aliens may be virtually impossible to control, but what if man could anticipate their actions? In a deep space research station, Dr. Paul Church studies Alien behavioral responses. How does an Alien track its prey? Can an Alien distinguish whether a human is armed? Will an Alien ever retreat from an attack? Test after test, patterns of behavior are revealed to Church...patterns which are predictable. The station is carefully supervised; every precaution is taken, but everyone knows the risks. When an apparent saboteur is killed by an escaped Alien, the site of scientific research gives way to a homicide investigation. Col. Dr. Anthony Crespi, the stalwart survivor of Aliens: Backsplash (featured in Dark Horse Comics (1992) #12 & 13), suspects that the Alien subject may not have escaped on its own, and is determined to uncover the truth.

Heading toward Khoraja with the rest of Amalric's mercenaries, Conan is still learning the ways of military discipline and strategy, impressing his leader while also making some enemies among Amalric's foot soldiers. Princess Yasmela is Khoraja's remaining sovereign. Haunted by terrifying apparitions and demonic visits, she prays to Mitra for help as Natohk's forces near her war-torn country and her near-defenseless city.

Nahtok, a powerful wizard with the desert tribes of Shem under his command, now looks to expand his motley empire northward into the politically unstable Koth-where Koth's leaders are more likely to kill each other on the battlefield than join together to face a common foe. The only thing standing in Nahtok's way is the small border kingdom of Khoraja and their battered military forces, now led by the inexperienced Princess Yasmela. Amalric's mercenaries-with Conan still riding among their numbers-are charged with reinforcing Yasmela's depleted army, as the conquering Nahtok draws near and Yasmela is haunted by both evil threats and holy visions. Tim Truman, Tomás Giorello, and José Villarrubia continue their adaptation of Robert E. Howard's 'Black Colossus,' a chilling Robert E. Howard tale that finds Conan at a strange crossroads in his mercenary career and on the path to the largest-scale battle of his life, as a clash between Nahtok and Amalric's men appears inevitable!
