Savage Dragon #242

Savage Dragon #242 brings together a chaotic tangle of superpowered bodies on a cover by Erik Larsen, where a massive, bare-chested figure with a gold chain bracelet grapples with a green-fisted brawler below, while a sleek red figure streaks downward from above and a winged, blonde figure hovers at the edge of the fray. The tagline "The Ant and the God!" hints at a clash of very different scales of power, and the cover composition — all reaching limbs and urgent motion — sells the collision perfectly. Larsen's energetic linework keeps this long-running Image series feeling as vital in 2019 as ever.
