Brian Bendis joked in his letters column in Powers #4 last week that Savage Dragon was a book that was canceled in the late 90's. Then he wrote, “Wait. What? It is. Wow.” Or something along those lines. Yes, this book keeps chugging along. The latest storyline has Dragon remembering his old self and embracing the evil, bloodthirsty Emperor Kurr identity. This particular issue has everyone meeting Kurr in an alley in Chicago. When I say everyone I mean everyone: Malcolm, Angel, the Vicious Circle, that Dragon superhero dork, and that shape-shifting Dragon chick. It's a mess, a clusterfuck, and I assume next issue a battle will ensue. The art is as good as it can be and the colors are a little overwrought, but it's a good issue amidst a storyline that's starting to get exciting. ***
