Savage Dragon #266

The Next Chapter" announces itself boldly right on the cover of Savage Dragon #266, as a towering green, mohawked Dragon — wearing sunglasses and a fringed vest — flashes a peace sign against the San Francisco skyline. Gathered around him is a colorful crew of younger characters, each with their own distinct look, from a green-skinned girl in tiger-stripe pants to a kid in an "Alcatraz Penitentiary" shirt to a leather-clad young woman, all framed by a "Welcome to San Francisco" stamp that makes the city change of scenery official. Erik Larsen's linework, colored by Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris, gives the whole scene a vibrant, almost sun-drenched energy that makes this West Coast fresh start feel genuinely exciting.
