Savage Dragon #198

Savage Dragon #198 brings Erik Larsen's long-running Image series roaring into 2014 with a cover that captures the raw physicality the title is known for. Dragon bursts upward through a cascade of debris and rubble, his massive green-skinned frame straining against a tangle of grasping red hands that claw at him from below, all set against a vivid yellow background that makes the struggle pop. With Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris adding bold color to Larsen's pencils and inks, "Weight of the World" looks like exactly the kind of hard-hitting chapter that keeps fans coming back issue after issue.
