Savage Dragon #235

The cover of Savage Dragon #235 makes the stakes clear right away: a massive, horned, bison-like brute called Buffalo Stu charges through a crumbling city street, hurling a green-skinned figure — Dragon himself — helplessly into the air while panicked bystanders scatter in every direction. Erik Larsen's cover pencils and inks deliver that kinetic, anything-goes energy the series is known for, with debris flying and buildings looming in the background to sell the sheer scale of the destruction. If the tagline "Nothing Beats Buffalo Stu!" is any indication, this 2018 Image Comics issue promises one seriously hard-hitting showdown.
