Book of the Week

2-3-10

Holy Fuck! This book just keeps getting crazier! I wish all superhero books had this much excitement.

I mean, although The Siege is only halfway through, we all knew six months ago that it would end with Cap, Thor, and Iron Man getting back together to defeat the Dark Avengers. I could still be wrong, but I don't think that there's anyone here that wouldn't bet copious amounts of money on that statement.

This book could still has the potential to go in hundreds of directions. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dragon we read for 150 issues never returns. The book could easily be shift focus to the crazy dictator Dragon or even Malcolm, Dragon's son and be just as entertaining. Possibly even more so.

Savage Dragon moves the story forward the way that the big two are always pretending to. We now have a new Dragon that eats brains; a new Overlord who's a Cubs fan. How many series are this exciting 160+ issues in? Great job, Erik Larsen! Here's to 150 more!
