Does anybody know if the U.S. can expect more of Ablaze's The Cimmerean? I don't see anything on their website for new stories coming our way.

I'm concerned they are done, actually.. the last thing they put out was the dreadful Valeria and Belit mini.
There's nothing on their site or anything about any more series... they seem to be doing more manga-ish stuff right now.
I am excited at a new Animal Castle series though!

Are there any Glenat adaptations they haven't done translated versions of yet? They are not producing the material in the Cimmerian, simply doing English translations of the Glenat material. If Glenat is done, or on hiatus with them, there won't be any new Cimmerian material.

This is mainly what I was looking forward to. |

Here's the link for Rogues in the House.
Glénat seemed to have slowed its rythm as far as Conan adaptations go; its most recent book was Xuthal of the Dusk back in January of 2022. I saw an oversized illustrated version of The Tower of the Elephant at the bookstore, but it wasn't a comic and was published by Bragelonne. |

We plan to go to Paris for my kid's graduation in 2025, and I was already planning to learn some French before we go. Being able to read this comic could be a little extra motivation to actually do that (we'll see- I'm great at creating goals, not so great at following through). And yes, I place reading a Conan comic on about the same level of importance as being able to converse with locals while on vacation. |

The other issue might be Conan Properties deal with Titan. Titan is based out of the UK, not the US, and it might have some exclusivity clauses in the deal that make it more difficult for Ablaze to release the English translations. Ablaze had some legal issues at the start that almost ended their line before it started, but the new deal with Titan could change the landscape of the market in such a way it is not viable for Ablaze to continue to put out the English language versions of the French material. It might even affect Glenat's ability to do French language versions fo rall I know, since European copyright law is vastly different than that of the US.
