If this is how Jim wants to do more adaptations, have at it! If you want to think of it this way, Frost Giant's Daughter is the story done from Conan's point of view, Gods of the North is it done from Atali's. Tim did this a few times with Dark Horse (Iron Shadows was partially done from Olivia's as well as the Akivasha story).
As Jeff mentioned, this stands up beautifully next to ST #1 and DH Conan #2.

ST #1? I'm way behind on all of the Titan stuff, but have these all in my pull box and paid for at my comic shop. |

Savage Tales #1 Supposedly to Glenat/Ablaze version does something similar, doing it from Atari’s point of view. |

It was an interesting take, although for me, it was always Atali, some kind of snow and ice elemental Witch demoness thing, leading a dazed and somewhat bewitched Conan into a murderous ambush, no side plans.

Just to reiterate what some may have forgotten, fwiw:
The Frost Giant’s Daughter, as Mark Finn said at Howard Days, this story is most likely based on a badger game translated into a fantasy context (with some mythological inspiration from sirens and the story of Atalanta). Living in a corrupt oilfield boomtown REH would have been familiar with stories of this kind of thing actually going on both in real life and the pulps.
In a badger game the crooks generally want to extort the victim’s money but in tFGD Atali and her brothers want Conan’s heart smoking on Ymir’s board.
In REH's original yarn Conan is being set up as the victim of a supernatural badger game type scam, but turns the tables on the scammers.

That makes sense, in the case of Atali and her brothers maybe sort of out of the way family of conniving homicidal hillbillies with a supernatural twist.

Another excellent vid from one of the best youtubers out there.
I found a little distracting Andre's pronunciation of 'Aesir' even though that is the correct pronunciation in Old Norse as far as I've been able to find.
In Old Norse it is Ass-ear. In Icelandic it is Eye-seer. In British English it is Ay-seer. In American English it is one of three: Ass-ear (same as Old Norse), E-seer, or Ace-ear.
I always preferred Ace-ear. Aint noways I'm gonna pronounce it the Old Norse way!
Wonder how REH pronounced Aesir.
