ICE Are Coming For The Savage Dragon's Grandkids (Spoilers)

ICE Are Coming For The Savage Dragon's Grandkids in Savage Dragon #277 by Erik Larsen (Spoilers)

It is Bleeding Cool's considered opinion that the legacy of Savage Dragon by Erik Larsen will be one of reflecting the mores of the modern world better and faster than any other comic book on the stands. Which is remarkable, especially given how late the comic book is. Savage Dragon #277 was solicited for the 19th of March. Two issues in one month was rather optimistic, even then. It was published on the 9th of July, but couldn't have come at a more topical time.

And Savage Dragon #277 begins, giving Jackson Dragon, son of Malcom Dragon and grandson of Paul Dragon, a solo spot in the series alongside the Bay Guardian and at nine years old, playing the role of Robin, The Boy Wonder. And homaging some of his best moves.

And at the age of nine, gets a lesson in the bird and the bees that may be a little much to handle.

But helping these people is only the start, given that the role of the US government isn't exactly stellar either. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, there is sanctuary in religion.

Though freeing such people is harder in a superhero universe, where literal mind control is one of the many superpowers on offer

And dealing with Gator and Maneater, the supervillains doing the controlling (Jackson Dragon is immune thanks to being part alien) can also be out of the control for a nine-year old with the powers of a Hulk. First one…

… and then the other.

Which is not something any nine-year old should have to go through, and knowing Erik Larsen, setting up some serious trauma to come in the boy's life, no matter how the Bay Guardian frames things.

But therapy will have to wait for another day, because that's where the US government steps in.

As agents of ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement steps in, not only taking the women into custody…

… but also Jackson Dragon. As we said before, he is a quarter-alien. And with no one to appeal to, it seems… still when has that ever got in the way of a Dragon? The next issue of Savage Dragon #278 is due to be published in September.
