Savage Dragon #206

The cover of Savage Dragon #206 sets an immediately striking scene: the green-skinned, fin-headed Dragon squares off in what appears to be a graduation ceremony gone very wrong, wearing academic robes while a massive clawed creature's hand reaches in from the right and more monstrous limbs crowd the foreground. Graduates in caps and gowns scatter in the background, making the subtitle "Graduating Clash" feel both literal and perfectly absurd. Erik Larsen's pencils and inks deliver that signature kinetic energy, with Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris's colors giving the confrontation a vivid, punchy feel that's kept this long-running Image series going strong into 2015.
