I'm really looking forward to this. I'm assuming the artist is a Korean Manwha artist, this should be interesting. This could be what Conan and the Demons of Khitai was going for at Dark Horse. A Conan project with an Eastern look.

Looks promising! Does anyone know how many issues it'll be?

Looks promising! Does anyone know how many issues it'll be? All the Glenat volumes are a similar length, so I'd guess this will be two issues like the other Ablaze adaptations.

A blonde Yasmina? Odd choice.

A blonde Yasmina? Odd choice. Odd but it doesn't look bad IMO.

That is a LOT of story to attempt to squeeze into a mere two issues again. Dark Horse did it in four issues, and it still felt rushed.

I think there are more pages in the stuff by Ablaze than DH alloted to their comics. The adptation by Dark Horse followed the comic book decorum of 23 story pages (Excluding advertisement pages) but Ablaze has an average of about 34 story pages per issue.
That being said, it is still significantly less pages in the Glenat Adaptations than DH's. Dark Horse had an approximate total of 92 pages in their People of the black circle adaptation wile Glenat sticks to 60-70 page adaptations.
The Original Marvel adaptations for stories like red nails were an average of about 64 pages so The Glenat adaptations can easily not be rushed if they plan their plot and timing correctly.
The thing with DH also is that they dedicate quite a few pages/panels to recapping previous issues because they spread the adaptation across multiple issues, in contrast to Glenat which makes it one Graphic novel.

That's true - Good points. I think Marvel really did it right when they adapted 'People of the Black Circle' for SSOC with well over 100 pages, as that story is so detailed and involved. I think it's easier to adapt 'Red Nails' with fewer pages because there aren't as many characters or locations, so that plot and timing will need extra attention for PotBC. Glenat does, however, seem to have smaller panels, so I think they can fit a little more story on each page. This is my favorite Conan story, so I'm just extra picky about it. I'm still looking forward to it, though!

This is what I'm talking about! This looks fantastic. I think Cliff Chiang could have gotten to this level had he not decided to make Conan too skinny. The main cover to #2 isn't bad, but it's not up to par with these three. Those are three very good variants. Imho, not a dud in the bunch. I especially like the first one and the homage one really looks cool and works. I'm getting more and more excited for this.
