Owner's Description
"The Slave Maid of Satan!" Here's an instance where the title is so out there, that I kinda hafta know what it going on just based on that. Ricardo doesn't give any clues with his cover though, does he? There's nothing particularly satanic, there's our chick with the snake fetish and she seems to be exerting some control on Beowulf, and there's a wingless dragon beast, a pretty good pile of skulls, a very angry dude superimposed in the background (I guess he looks a little bit satanic - let's call him Satan), and we have Beowulf leaping - poised to thrust his blade deep into the beast. Maybe Beowulf doesn't want to slay the beast? I don't know. Maybe the beast is really our damsel in distress and the serpent chick is forcing Beowulf to attack? Oh, maybe the serpents are supposed to represent Satan's influence. That makes sense.
I love that leaping and stabbing action that B is doing - it's a very high risk/high reward, but I believe it, and I believe the way it has been rendered. Colors are strong, but with DC's huge palette I feel like more could have been done.
Overall - maybe yes, maybe no on the cover image selling the book to me. I just don't feel the tension in the action like I should. But the title, yeah the title is pretty motivating.
