Review of
Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies,
created by Erik Larsen ISBN 9781607064022
Three out of five stars
More and more weird and bizarre piled high
Twisted is an
understatement and funnies is an overstatement as descriptions of the content
of this book. Savage Dragon is a green “man” with a rigid fin in the center of
his head. He is strong and resilient, very helpful traits when you are a cop
and battling the forces of evil or just have to go through a wall.
Nothing is
really taboo here; the worst is the short where Savage Dragon is in a fistfight
with a woman and they apparently kiss and make up. There is a wedding,
pregnancy and a child. The last caption has the woman walking out the door
carrying suitcases and the infant is in a pool of blood on the floor. All she
says is, “I win.”
While this book
has a few moments, most of it is sick and twisted with no real theme or unifying
direction. I found it difficult to read through with any significant interest,
it is definitely not for everyone.
