I imagine Glenat wants to do them all in French, and I can't imagine Ablaze not translating them into English. I hope so, anyway, Ablaze really need to proofread the single issues better (I've seen signs of this improving in the Frost Giant's Daughter) but aside from that I have no other complaints.... Other than that I'd buy the hardcovers too if they were oversized. Ah yes, sometimes I feel like they just run the French text into google translate. the errors kinda pop out to me but I'm certainly grateful they're doing the adaptations. They are definitely getting better I think all it needs is a little bit of proofreading, maybe refer back to the original Howard texts. Proofreading should not be too hard now, especially since they are making each adaptations 3 issues instead of the initial 2 issues they were doing since it means they have more time to cover smaller portions of the story. I definitely agree with you guys - I've noticed those errors quite often, as they're pretty frequent. I can't complain too much, though, because they're otherwise doing a fantastic job with these interpretations. I'd really love to see over-sized hardbacks too, as you mention, Jason. Those tiny panels are sometimes hard to read. |

By the way does anyone know what comic issue that homage cover is supposed to be an imitation of?

Ah thank you! I tried a quick google image search but didn't turn up anything.

I enjoyed and would say this is a good adaptation, albeit a unremarkable one. There are already two other adaptations of this story and I'd say there both superior. This adaptation follows Howard's original closely, taking no artist deviations from what I can tell. In fact, I would go as far to say it takes away artist merit that the original and its two pervious adaptions had: the narration that provides insight into olivia's cogitations and musings.
There is no narration which makes the story more simplistic and shallow.
I like the art, but it is not better than the art of the other two adaptations.

Unfortunately, I have given up on these translations, for now at least.

I'd say that, overall, this was my favorite one so far. Most importantly, the story stayed true to Howard's text. It had 3 issues which allowed for a nice pace (the Red Nails adaptation would have been much better if it had taken more pages to tell the story.) The artwork was very good, as has generally been the case with these Ablaze editions. Yeah, overall this was a very good Conan comic adaptation.

Judging upon the preview, I'm almost sure we'll have one more great faithful adaptation of this wonderful REH's tale!  |
