In today’s Savage Dragon #244, we get the return of the chicken-headed Powerhouse, heading up a superhero team, and being recruited by the TV people who have plagued – and funded – Malcolm Dragon’s life to go head to head with Dragon in a PPV grudge match.
But before that can happen, there has to be a licensing meeting with Marvey Comics, the people who publish the Savage Darhon comic book within the Savage Dragon world itself, a conceit that creator Erik Larsen has used a few times, in clear reference to the way Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and then John Byrne used to do it in the Fantastic Four. And, while he’s at it, getting a few pops in at the comic book industry while he’s at it…
There have been a fair few comic books which have been doing that. Avengers and Justice League have been repeat offenders of late…
Erik Larsen does still like a caption. And a thought bubble.
Savage Dragon did basically go all Sex Criminals for a while. But this is a Batman Damned world now…
Batman: Knightmares there….
Todd McFarlane has a certain Spawn #300 coming up with The Road To #300 filling the current issues…
Yeah, what did happen to them? From Savage Dragon #105 all those years ago… a different age and a different Dragon.
Origin stories used to be all the rage…
Four bucks for a pamphlet now…
This is seventeen years ago… any change yet?
And still the same complaints…
