** Kulan Gath had captured a symbiote to lure ComicBook/{{Venom}} into his trap, evidently remembering the antihero from their encounter in the ''Spider-Man/Red Sonja'' crossover.
** When the unnamed symbiote bonds to Conan, it manifests a Necrosword to help him slay the eldritch god Jhoatun Lau. Malekith and Eddie Brock would use the Venom symbiote to manifest Necroswords during the ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'' and ''ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage'' respectively.
* When Venom appears towards the end of the first arc, exposure to Jhoatun Lau's cosmic energy has transformed the symbiote into a draconic form in what was intended as a nod to ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' -- though Venom's dragon form looks nothing like those of the other symbiote dragons.

** The first arc involves Conan, Wolverine, Elektra, Doctor Voodoo, Black Widow, the Punisher, and (eventually) Venom teaming up to stop Kulan Gath from summoning an entity called the Marrow God, Jhoatun Lau. They fail, but manage to vanquish it nevertheless -- though it marks them with a curse before dying.
** Shuma-Gorath of the Many-Angled Ones pops up, with Kulan Gath treating it as cosmic calamari in order to assimilate its power and [[GodhoodSeeker become a god himself]].

'''''Savage Avengers''''' is a comic book series launched in April 2019 as part of the ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart initiative, written by Gerry Duggan with Mike Deodato Jr. on art.
After finding himself transported to the modern day, Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian finds himself allied with a ragtag band of super... people, who unite to stop the sorcerer Kulan Gath. The team consists of:
* ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian (Conan of Cimmeria) -- Barbarian adventurer from the Hyperborean Age, destined to become King Conan of Aquilonia.
* ComicBook/Elektra (Elektra Natchios) -- Former assassin of the Hand, current assassin for hire and sometimes ally of Daredevil.
* ComicBook/ThePunisher (Frank Castle) -- Soldier-turned-vigilante who kills criminals after the death of his family.
* Doctor Voodoo (Jericho Drumm) -- Master of the voodoo arts, Houngan Supreme and ally of Doctor Strange.
* ComicBook/{{Venom}} (Eddie Brock) -- Former Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero, bonded to an alien symbiote.
* Franchise/{{Wolverine}} (James "Logan" Howlett) -- Canadian mutant stabby man.
The team is darker and more prone to violence and killing than other Avengers teams, and is marketed as such. The series is the first time Conan has interacted with the wider Marvel Universe since Marvel regained his publishing rights in January, 2019.
For a similar title released oddly close to this one, see ''ComicBook/{{Strikeforce}}''.

!! This series contains examples of:
* BloodMagic: Kulan Gath needs the blood of people soaked in death to perform his summoning ritual, and is happy with the Savage Avengers turnout given their histories. Wolverine in particular is a nice bonus for him, having a healing factor and all.
* BoisterousBruiser: Conan is less concerned with being trapped in the modern day and more curious as to where Wolverine got those wonderful claws and killing people.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Even for the 2010s, this is one of the darker Avengers line-ups and series. All of the main cast except Voodoo have body counts numbering in the hundreds ''at least'' and are completely fine with killing.
* FireForgedFriends:
** Conan and Wolverine start out trying to kill each other but eventually come to respect each other after fighting Kulan Gath.
** The same can be said of Conan and Frank, on their road trip back to America, with Conan consoling Frank regarding his family.
* FishOutOfWater: Conan in the modern era takes some time to adjust, but finds small comforts where he can -- such as beer.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: When Wolverine passes out and leaves Conan to fight on his own, Conan just swings Wolverine around by his legs to make use of his claws.
* ItsPersonal: Kulan Gath took the bodies of Frank's deceased family for his ritual, which is why Punisher enters the story.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Not that the cast is evil, but Voodoo is definitely the most moral of the cast and is less prone to stabbing or shooting his problems away.
