Savage Dragon #254

The cover of Savage Dragon #254 sets an ominous tone with its stark black background and a dramatic image of the green-skinned Dragon tumbling helplessly through a cascade of shattered rock and debris — the tagline "Vicious Circle Triumphant!" leaving little doubt about who has the upper hand. Erik Larsen's cover art captures a rare moment of vulnerability for the series' powerhouse hero, rendered with raw, kinetic energy that pulls your eye straight into the chaos. Colored by Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris with moody, atmospheric tones, this 2020 Image Comics chapter looks like a must-read for anyone following Dragon's ongoing struggle against his most persistent enemies.
