Owner's Description
"The Minotaur!" Okay - last issue, so it's totally a case of too little, too late - but this cover is awesome. The pattern of the minotaur's horns and Beowulf's helmet's horns is cool enough on its own to make me want to buy this issue. Obligatory bikini chick is lounging on a pile of humanlike skulls, the moon is full and the background is simplified, just purple and yellow. All the focus in on the tension between Mr. Moo-Cow, Big B, and Bikini Chick and that tension is deep, it's meaningful, and it's a little sexual. I like the zoomies coming off the minotaur's legs - as if he's really booking at the girl, and Big B is just barely holding on like some oiled up rag doll. The fangs seem a bit much though, don't they - like some editor said, "make him more fierce looking, add fangs and claws even though he's a cow" Oh, maybe Dracula bit him back in issue 4 and he's a vampire minotaur. Now that's starting to sound a bit like your little brother's homebrew DnD game - so, maybe not.
Overall - yeah, I like this cover. It really does have a lot going for it. And I am pretty sure I would have spent my hard earned quarter on this to take it home from the spinner rack
