Blood Red Dragon #3

Issue three of Image's Blood Red Dragon puts the intensity front and center: a massive, cybernetically enhanced beast — part boar, part nightmare — looms over the composition with mechanical arms and glowing red eyes, its jaws stretched wide in a feral roar. Below it, a dark-haired warrior braces with a blade while a white-haired woman looks on from the creature's mechanical platform, caught in the chaos. Todd McFarlane Productions brings a wild energy to this 2011 series, blending sci-fi hardware with creature-feature menace in a way that makes $3.99 feel like a fair trade for this much visual ferocity.
