Erik Larsen on Preparing for the End of an Era in Savage Dragon #191

Next month is when Savage Dragon will turn a corner and officially, totally become Malcolm Dragon’s book, according to creator Erik Larsen.The title character hasn’t really been the star of the series in years, but he’s been appearing regularly in the book and often, his actions have had as big of an impact on the larger direction of the series as Malcolm’s–but he’s currently on death row, and this issue had a guest drop in from another world who, when last we saw her, was keen to take her back off-planet with her and sire a new race.So, along with whatever other options we aren’t considering, there are very real possibilities that Dragon could die (as difficult as it is to kill hi, it has happened before) or that he could be exiled somewhere with his de facto spouse. Last month saw Dragon take a beating in a bloody battle with Mako and in recent months, he’s seemed almost defeated and ready to die–but this month was a bit of a different Dragon, helping to quell a prison riot at the detention center full of supervillains that he’s been living in and taking out the latest iteration of Dread Knight, with whom a conflict has been teased and building for a couple of issues.Larsen joined ComicBook.com to discuss this month’s issue–but there be spoilers here.
