Owner's Description
"Chariot of the Fire Stallions!" I'm not quite sure what that title is supposed to do? I'm I excited? fearful? I don't get it. Now the eight-armed beastie Sonja's tangling with? Yeah, he's freaky and a little intimidating. Although I might like him more if he had more than a single kris knife as a weapon - you know, maybe a couple of swords and an axe? I don't get the little tiny tongue hanging out either. It's not intimidating. It's actually kinda dumb looking. Honestly, this whole cover kind of feels like it was mailed in by ol Frankie boy. Lost interest? Didn't care for the art direction? In a damn hurry? I don't know, but it certainly isn't his best work. I might like it a little more if the stallions were better defined, but sometimes you just got to work with what you got.
As for Sonja - she's destination fckd. If the chariot is moving at all, she should just fall out, her position is untenable, she's half kneeling, but not sitting, on a single leg while blocking and with nothing under her off-side foot. It's just dumb. Just take the fall you earned.
Overall - I really can't say. The cover is pretty horrible from an adult standpoint, but I would have been almost 13 when this hit the spinner rack and Sonja does look pretty tasty. I'm going to have to give this a strong maybe for cheesecake factor only.
