According to an article in The Beat, Marvel has lost the rights to Conan (again!) and these are going back to Titan Comics in 2023.

It's hard to keep track of all this. I do wonder what the issue was with Marvel. Knowing this helps explain the fate of Conan in the Savage Avengers title. Guessing this was reported to the creators on that book, so they had to do what they could and wrap things up. Frankly, Conan was the reason I was picking up that series, or rather both series. Perhaps it also explains why the book got a second #1 and new members of the team. Anyway, I'll check out the next issue (#7 I believe, as Conan was written out in #5) and probably drop it.
The title Savage Avengers pretty much only existed to have Conan interacting with current Marvel characters. Curious about the fate of the book at this point.
Also, would this have any effect on The Cimmerian series over at Ablaze Comics. They couldn't use Conan as the title, because of Marvel, but were doing adaptations of Robert E. Howard's novels and short stories.
