Some brand synergy here, Serpent's Bluff is the new card game being developed by Monster Fight Club:
"Conan: Serpent’s Bluff, a card game designed by Monster Fight Club. Monster Fight Club founder John Kovaleski shared the concept at Toy Fair. "In one of the comics (and I can't go much deeper than that), Conan is playing a game," he explained. "We are working on something to go along with that.""

That sword looks like he borrowed it from the prop department of the old Red Sonja movie.

This one can't hold a candle to those. It's still not a bad cover, though, imo. Not crazy about the sword or the CGI flame, but I like the rendition of Conan and the woman, as well as the viewpoint. The cover I really don't like is the variant one.

[ variant cover is very poor ]

It is very ironic that this type of art does not resemble the old SSoC at all. Again: very cartoony. This is like The Road of Kings, season 2. Conan is a character that should always be portrayed as a complex figure, not a generic brute such as this. I won't even bother reading such material.

What Marvel is building with Conan is something like: you see, this is a very strong man, with a sword, and if you mess up with him, he will slash you into pieces.
That is their whole formula. Disappointing.
