Erik Larsen on the Torment and Death in Savage Dragon #194

With the release of today’s issue, Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon continued to focus on the shifting sands beneath series star Malcolm Dragon’s feet. In a new school and facing new social challenges — such as groupies who don’t understand the danger of trailing after him into action — Malcolm finds himself up against an unstable villain with an impressive power level.At the same time, readers are reminded that he’s not entirely official in the way he and the police interact: Malcolm may be nigh-invulnerable, and an effective crimefighter, but he’s still a kid, and that still places very real restrictions on what he can and cannot do, officially, for Captain Stewart.As always, series creator Erik Larsen joined ComicBook.com to discuss the issue. This is a spoiler-filled conversation, though, and since the comic just came out, you should cruise on over to the Image Comics website to get your hands on a digital copy if you haven’t read it already, so that you can read it along with us.
