This period sees Dragon's stint with the Chicago police force come to an end amidst all the in-fighting in the Vicious Circle crime syndicate. This is a hyper dynamic violence melodrama with almost Saturday matinee like cliffhangers and plot twists, and it actually works! 7 out of 12. I read the comic books Savage Dragon #25-50; The Dragon #1-5; Red Horizon #1-3, Sex & Violence #1-3.
Savage Dragon Archives Volume 2 collects issues 22-50 of Savage Dragon.My trip back in time to the early days of Savage Dragon and Image Comics continues. In this volume, Dragon gets caught in the middle of a power struggle between the freaks of Chicago to take the Overlords' position, teams with TMNT and Hellboy, climbs out of a dead monster's asshole, fights an ape with Hitlet's brain, fights a Martian invasion, meets God and the Devil, and leads a government sponsored super team, the SOS, amo...
Mix one pint of comic book in-jokes with one pint of PG-rated titillation, and then throw the whole thing into a ten-gallon drum of bug nuts and cartoonish violence, and you've pretty much got Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon. It's sometimes stupid, sometimes delightfully loopy, but there's always something going on.
Horrendous.If you thought that any of the below would be covered with sensitivity or class, you’d be entirely wrong (sexual assault, child loss, LGBT+ rights, mental health, portraying women as anything other than objects)
You need to find 20 other comics to really be able to follow half the stories in this book. It branches off into so many crossovers the transitions are jarring.
Más de una docena del Salvaje Dragón (con media jeta quemada) en la genial pero leeeeenta edición de Aleta & Cía.
A really fun book from beginning to end. With Overlord now dead we see a lot more of the other villains, and a lot of new villains come along. Subplots are set up and paid off as things just really kick in to high gear. It's fun to read and see how Erik was just taking full advantage of not answering to an editor and just doing whatever the hell he wanted.
More of the same with some unexpected crossovers, if you like the first volume you will like this.
