Savage Dragon #230

Issue #230 marks a festive and frenetic milestone for Image's long-running series, with Erik Larsen's cover delivering a holiday brawl that's anything but peaceful. A powerfully built figure in a Christmas sweater tears through a wave of snarling attackers amid a shower of splintered wood, while children — including a young girl in a Canadian maple leaf sweater and a few small, colorful kids — watch from the relative safety of a living room floor scattered with toys and a model train set. It's a wonderfully chaotic snapshot of what "Mer-Made in America Part 2" promises: high-energy action wrapped in unexpected domestic warmth.
