Savage Dragon #256

Erik Larsen's cover for Savage Dragon #256 pulls no punches: a muscular, mohawked figure recoils in stunned recognition, fists raised, as the speech bubbles around him cry "YOU!" and "—but that's IMPOSSIBLE— YOU'RE DEAD!" — setting a tense, dramatic tone against a jagged burst of yellow energy. The story title "Jaws of Death!" blazes across the bottom, promising that whatever confrontation is unfolding here, the stakes are anything but ordinary. With Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris on colors and Ferran Delgado lettering, this 2021 Image Comics entry looks sharp and charged from cover to core.
