Savage Dragon #173

Savage Dragon #173 brings some serious chaos to the streets of Chicago, with two hulking bruisers — one with a menacing red-masked grin, the other a yellow-skinned powerhouse — bearing down on a pair of fierce blonde fighters clad in American flag-inspired gear amid a field of rubble and fire. Erik Larsen and Frank Fosco deliver a kinetic cover that crackles with raw energy, capturing the kind of all-out brawl this long-running Image series does so well. "The Visitors" promises an explosive meeting of forces, and this 2011 installment looks every bit as wild as that title suggests.
