Can't wait to see this experiment in a future issue of Spider-man!
All kidding aside it sort of reminds of the recent "channel surfing" experiments Morrison is doing in Final Crisis (also his Batman Final Crisis 2 part storyline) or the history of Orlando in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier. I definitely like how Larsen uses it captures a shorter span of time and focuses on some of the more mundane aspects of Dragons life.
It's definitely a great read.Last edited by GRANT!; 01-30-2009 at 04:21 PM.

Welcome to the world of Savage Dragon. Perhaps you missed Dung on that same page. Brilliant.

Brilliant idea. I really enjoy it when he tries out new things. It's not all the experiments where the result turns out to be good, but I appreciate the effort. Judging from the preview, this is one of the really good ideas. Loved the sequence with the arm growing back.

I can't wait to get the issue in the mail.
It sounds cool.I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.
