Savage Dragon #271

Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon #271 delivers one of the more visually striking covers of 2024 — a charge of colorful super-powered characters led by the green-finned Dragon himself, who protectively clutches a young woman as a full team surges forward behind him. What makes the image genuinely memorable is the small, cheerful silhouette of a certain famous cartoon mouse standing in the foreground, back turned to the oncoming rush — a sly, playful contrast that gives the whole composition an unexpected wit. With Larsen handling the full art duties and Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris on colors, "While a Universe Trembles!" looks every bit like the kind of sprawling ensemble adventure this long-running series does so well.
