Malcolm Dragon vs. Angel Dragon? It comes to this—as Malcolm and Angel have it out in what may be our strangest issue yet.
To wrap things up, Erik Larsen is the man, and Savage Dragon is the shit. This issue takes us into the mindsets of different teenage kids, through a sociological lens of sight, and drops us off with more empathy than any other book I’ve read—and if you haven’t heard of this book until now, your life is about to get a lot better.

Erik Larsen's artwork rides a fine line between mainstream and independent, but definitely captures the excitement many of us have had reading mainstream comics. At the same time, he's expertly capable of rendering mundane scenes and especially drawing diverse body types. I really find myself engrossed in his style and amazed that he continues to do this consistent level of artwork issue after issue. If there's a flaw, it's that some panels show a greater attention and look almost overly rendered, but if that's the worst I can say, then I can't say much else. Larsen doesn't cheat on backgrounds, adds clutter, and keeps his characters consistent. Read Full Review
Savage Dragon has been become a kind of fun read for me. There is nothing too terribly overwhelming or underwhelming for that matter in any issue. #204, like so many of the others, flows, entertains, and makes you ready to pick up the next one right where the last one left off. To me, that is a sign of a good comic and a much-needed "fun" break from the dark and bleak stuff that I normally read week in and week out. I have found myself liking the bright colors and happy flow of watching Malcolm struggle. Maybe I am just a little bit sadistic. But in Malcolm's turmoil, I find entertainment. There, I said it. Savage Dragon, though generally not the kind of story roll that I would normally be into, has brought me into the fold. Read Full Review
