My feeling is that the new Conan stuff will be as "canon" as the current Marvel Star Wars stuff is. It counts toward itself, if you get what I mean. I remember when Marvel announced they were getting the Star Wars license back everyone was wondering when the first crossover would happen. It's been, what, almost five years and nothing? I dunno, anything's possible,...
I have it, but haven't read it yet. I do see a montage of art from early '70s Marvel Conan in the first few pages, and that it's Legacy numbered as #276, though.

Yeah, I was thinking those things allude to it being canon, and what little we've seen of the 2019 Conan's life seems to fit in with his existing chronology pretty well...
I'm still working on my chronology of the old Conan stuff, but the scenes of young Conan in the City of Thieves fits in pretty well with his early adventures in Zamora (probably before CtB #4), and the later scene when he's King should fit in with existing chronology fine, as he was king for a couple decades with comparatively not many currently existing stories in that either.
That being said, as the arc is called "The Life and Death of Conan", if we do see Conan die during his reign as King, then it can't be the same Conan. But I don't think that's gonna happen as is alluded at the end of #1... especially when it's a 12 issue arc.
Really excited for Savage Sword and the Belit mini!
Have we seen the death of classic Marvel Conan? I haven't fully read them (but I have flipped through them), but he doesn't die in Conan of the Isles, or in Conan the Savage #10 (which is a sequel to Isles, right?), which are his "last" appearances of the classic stuff (right?). As far as I know, showing his death now wouldn't be a canon-buster. Would it?
I believe Marvel's last published Conan story was The Necromancers of Na'at in Conan the Savage 10 (1996), which follows on from Conan of the Isles, after his abdication. He didn't die in that. Wolvie may be thinking of the Kull story in Savage Sword 124 (1986), where Kull comes across an inscription marking the death of a mighty warrior king that seems to allude to Conan, but he's not named, and is said to have died while being king.
Out in the Land Down-Under, beneath a rocky outcrop, deep within the back paddock, dwells the Stray Lamb.
Also, wasn't Kull around some thousands of years before Conan, and before the Great Cataclysm.? Conan is from the Hyborean Age, some 8000 years after the time of Kull, and after the Great Cataclysm. So any warrior king who predated Kull would also predate Conan.

Well, now, wait. Yes, this is my memory too. The inscription CAN'T* refer to Conan, can it?
*Calm down, everyone. Not shouting. Just emphasizing.
I see Jason Aaron has said that the first story will look at Conan's life from Cimmeria to Aquilonia and beyond. That "and beyond" bit at the end might mean he'll die after he stops being king of Aquilonia.
