It ma...Oh, I can perfectly understand the decision. It makes the statement needed, and it gets a trademark Death's Head line on the cover, too, which is always good. <BR/><BR/>I do think, though, that part of me prefers the implication that DH has laid out the whole team, as opposed to just taking down Dragon on his own. Sure, Dragon's the heavy hitter - in some respects he's all you <I>do</I> need to show in order to make the point. But seeing a whole team felled in front of DH makes me think 'Okay, they're clearly screwed. How are they going to get out of this one'.<BR/><BR/>Damn. I'm really going to have to get out my old Dragon's Claws issues, now. ;-)Mark Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13499212500786272512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510941869814453320.post-73111836692110438302008-02-02T00:17:00.000+00:002008-02-02T00:17:00.000+00:00Hmm.

The final cover is more dramatic and from a sales point of view, there's never anything wrong with the hero getting a pasting from a 'villain': it has all the things you need to attract a reader...<BR/>a) Dragon's Claws are getting pasted. Why?<BR/>b) Who is giving them a pasting?<BR/>and, for Transformers and Doctor Who readers, Death's Head (reduced in size from Transformers height to human by the Doctor in "Crossroads in Time" in DWM #134 I believe?), well hey, they know it's Death's Head, what he's capable of and just what is he up to now?John Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275476513933849893noreply@blogger.com
