FIRST LOOK: CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #3
Conan the Cimmerian #3 will arrive in stores on Sept. 17 from Dark Horse Comics. The issue is written by Timothy Truman, with art by Tomās Giorello and Richard Corben and a cover by Frank Cho.
Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"A young Cimmerian huntress--a character seen in Conan Vol. 0: Born on the Battlefield --and Horsa--an Aesir leader from The Frost Giant's Daughter --both cross paths with Conan as he continues his dangerous trek through the snowy mountain passes of Cimmeria. Fighting his way through the natural dangers of his barbaric homeland has been a welcome change from the mind games and treachery Conan found in the cities of the East, but there's an unfortunate lesson in treachery in store for Conan here, too. In a Richard Corben flashback sequence, Connacht--Conan's grandfather--seems to have found a role for himself working in a busy city, but as the old saying goes, 'Fleas will find a dog . . . and trouble will find a Cimmerian.'"
Conan the Cimmerian #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:
"Robert E. Howard's vengeance-obsessed puritan begins his supernatural adventures in the haunted Black Forest of Germany in this five-issue adaptation of Howard's 'The Castle of the Devil.' When Solomon Kane stumbles upon the body of a boy hanged from a rickety gallows, he goes after the man responsible -- a baron feared by the peasants from miles around. Something far worse than the devilish baron or the terrible, intelligent wolf that prowls the woods lies hidden in the ruined monastery beneath the baron's castle, where a devil-worshipping priest died in chains centuries ago."

Curious, Usagi begins a search to uncover the mendicant's identity. Little does he know, the Neko Ninja Clan is after the beggar as well. Indeed, there is more to this figure than meets the eye, but no one would guess that the mystery leads all the way to the Shogun! "
