Emster Comments: Selena got the call from the Warrior Witch while she was at the beach: “Knife fight? Hel yeah, I’ll be right there!” A little underdressed? Perhaps, but no one’s laughing when she shows up with her kick ass battle axe.

Small wonder Selena’s giving the warrior witch a dirty look behind her back. “She calls me from the beach to beat up a statue? I know the Warrior Witch is too vain to wear her spectacles in public, but she needs to check these things properly before spoiling anybody’s weekend.”

Speaking from a male perspective, thank goodness the nude, bald man wasn’t front and center to ruin this fantasy warrior chick cover.

Girl on the right pictured the moment before she falls over.
(Unless Fantasy gravity doesn’t work like regular gravity.)

@fred
I didn’t even notice him until I looked at the blow up of the cover. Well spotted.

After the editor made him cover up the woman wearing nothing but gloves and boots, the artist just went “screw it” and hastily drew the other one in a bikini.
“And here we have the statue of the God of tolerance and kindness, crushing beneath him the Skinhead.”
So, are the gals with the Glory of Bloodsong or with the Death Riders of Hell? (Assuming they’re the ones bringing the Dread Forces of the Dark. Really, neither side sounds particularly Kosher.)

I like how poor little Bean (farthest right) seems to be standing well back from all this. Smart kid.
Anyway, witchy sword lady’s got herself a bad case of Escher Spine. Either that or she’s from the Warrior Barbie collection. Which would also explain the tiptoe feet.*
Selena there, while not covered up as well, at least looks to have a more plausible stance.
Feet are hard to draw, still.
@Bruce: My thought exactly — both sides of this sound like the bad guys.
* (As a former little girl, I can attest that Barbie is the only humanoid figure who can actually strike that pose. My mom was a ballerina and I was an ice skater, and neither of us, nor our peers, could have done that.)
