Savage Dragon #174

Savage Dragon #174 brings a burst of kinetic energy to 2011 with a vivid yellow cover packed with mid-air mayhem — a winged, reptilian creature clashes with a powerfully built armored figure while a blonde woman is caught in the chaos below, surrounded by swirling pink forms threatening to engulf her. Erik Larsen and Frank Fosco collaborate on the pencils, with Larsen also handling inks, delivering the kind of visceral, larger-than-life action that has kept this long-running Image series going strong. With the interior story titled "The Return of Rex Dexter," this issue promises plenty of drama to match its eye-catching cover.
