Owner's Description
"Beowulf Meets Dracula" I don't know how anybody thought this was a good idea. Dracula? Okay what ever. Let's take a look at our hero on the cover. He's leaping from the saddle into the face of his flying antagonist, Drac baby, while our obligatory bikini chick is doing a dirt dart with her face - at a rock. Quick experience note here - that's going to hurt no matter what angle she hits at. The horse is really well drafted, if anything, she might not be rearing enough. The full moon and the castle in the background combine to give it a little bit of the feel of a contemporary horror book - maybe they were looking for some crossover readers with this idea? Ol Drac's got a pair of curvy blades, like he's Persian or something, and he's thrusting with them - that's...well, that's dumb. They're often not super pointy, and it wouldn't be unusual for the blades to only have a single edge like a cutlass or scimitar - just not effective. I suppose if you're really Dracula that doesn't matter all that much. You could probably beat someone to death with the horse. Our protagonist, B, he's got something weird in his hand. The blade isn't showing, it's off image, but the cross piece is shaped like an axe? and you thought a cross guard on a lightsaber was dumb - yeah well, this is just going to cut the crap out of Beowulf's wrist. Very dumb.
I expect better from Ricardo, this really isn't his best work. Overall - I'm going to have to say I would pass on this one from the spinner rack. It just isn't working for me.
