Savage Dragon #273

Savage Dragon #273 delivers a cover that earns its "Bloodbath!" banner in full — Erik Larsen's linework puts a green-skinned Dragon in a fierce mid-brawl collision with a massive, rocky-textured behemoth amid a field of rubble and crumbling cityscape. The sheer kinetic energy of that clash, with debris flying and additional figures visible in the chaotic background, captures exactly the kind of bruising, no-holds-barred action that has kept this long-running Image series going strong into 2024. Larsen writes, draws, and inks the whole thing himself, with colors by Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris adding vivid punch to every crumbling brick and clenched fist.
