Owner's Description
1:1 ratio cover by Berkenkotter. Outside of a couple issues of Red Sonja, I am unfamiliar with Berkenkotter's work and at first blush, this cover didn't really hit a sweet spot with me - but as I have gotten older and I am more familiar with the cover art, it's grown on me. It's pretty solid painted cover, with that bird's-eye view of a scene of slaughter. I think it is the monochrome cover color that weakens the image. Just a couple flashes of color would have made the whole thing a little more visually interesting to me.
Sonja's feet are impossible to see - but her knees are slightly bent, and her hips open, so I suspect her stance is pretty well balanced. She's definitely got a death grip on that sword though, and that's a good way to loose your sword. Loose and easy is the best way - let the weight of the blade guide your swings.
Overall? I don't know - I didn't buy this cover at my LCS, so I'm guessing the cover image didn't do its job and sell me on the issue.
