Dan Slott as Spider-Man Erik Larsen… I mean I can see what they were going for. And Erik Larsen as Savage Dragon is much better. Jim Lee… I mean top left is certainly a version of Jim Lee I have met. But Jim Lee as the X-Men is much more fun. I mean, that is Scott Snyder, t just is. That[...]

The Savage Dragon is the second longest-lasting Image Comics title, and it beats Spawn on one major aspect, in that Erik Larsen wrote and drew it all himself And now, thirty years on, the series about a policeman with superpowers and a mysterious past is getting an "Ultimate" collection in hardcover, beginning in November, with[...]

On Facebook, Image Comics CFO, co-founder of Image Comics and creator of Savage Dragon, Erik Larsen gave his experience of conducting portfolio reviews.

Recently, David Micheline and Erik Larsen brought up the vexed claims of creator claim over the character of Venom, as seen in Venom 2, opening in UK cinemas this week As it rolled on, Bleeding Cool reprinted their respective letters on the matter from 1993, and Todd McFarlane's recent statements on Instagram But it is[...]

Recently, Bleeding Cool ran a Fanboy Rampage between Venom co-creator David Michelinie, looking to get a bit more credit for his co-creation than Todd McFarlane seemed to recently be giving, and Erik Larsen, who took over from Todd drawing the book, who pushed back on that And now Spider-Man artist Ron Frenz has taken it further, talking[...]

And so Erik Larsen, who took over art duties on Amazing Spider-Man after Todd McFarlane and developed the Venom character further with Michelenie, including pointed and monstrous teeth, saliva, and a prehensile tongue, disagreed with his former writer, saying; I vehemently disagree If credit goes to the person who started with a blank page–then credit for[...]

But is it possible for art to be so famous that no credit is even needed to recognize that it's an homage? Legendary comic book creator Erik Larsen seems to think so, as he took to Twitter to reveal that he has homaged Bill Sienkiewicz in the next issue of Savage Dragon, but that he[...]

The comic book was rewritten and redrawn in lockdown to reflect this, but Erik Larsen got it out before anyone else However in the month-and-change since he has not exactly had other superhero comics beating down the door to join him in reflecting the world outside their window. So in the anniversary issue, Savage Dragon #250,[...]

At the back of the issue, Erik Larsen writes; As I write this the world is in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic The book, being what the book is, a title taking place in real time in a fictionalized version of our real world, needed to address this crisis and I thought it best to[...]

I'm hearing about the return of the big shared superhero universe at Image Comics, using as many of the characters as they still can – and more besudes. Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon is approaching its landmark 250th issue and that will most certainly be the series' highest seller in years Because, admittedly, that's not hard[...]

Fellow Image founder Erik Larsen, who last week called for a death of an artist who screwed up the coloring on one of his old covers (and then, after we wrote an article clearly joking around about it, like rain on your wedding day, got mad and claimed we took it seriously), joined the fray[...]

pic.twitter.com/40i53PMRs7 — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) December 29, 2019 Larsen elaborates on his complaints about the image, going so far as to suggest that the texture applied to the water should warrant the colorist being "taken out back behind the barn and killed with a shovel." Tough, but fair. The moment the colorist decided to add a grain filter[...]

But Erik Larsen has his own anniversary coming up – and that's of a comic book he has written and drawn every issue of (including going back to redo the issue that Jim Lee drew) whereas Todd McFarlane is considering it a big thing to be drawing five pages of #301… Savage Dragon #246 is out[...]

Unless you've been living under a rock, and that rock does not get mobile internet service so that you can read Bleeding Cool, then you are probably well aware by now of the ongoing saga of Andrew Rev's Terrific Production LLC, the new publisher which purchased the rights to Youngblood, to the chagrin of creator[...]

Since then, Rev has been working to recruit comic book writers and artists to Terrific Production with a series of increasingly bizarre and outrageous tweets. Now, Terrific has found itself in a war of words with award-winning novelist, comic book writer, and podcast host Brian Keene, though this feud itself spun out of one between Terrific[...]

However, Image partner Erik Larsen took to Twitter to imply that Image Publisher Eric Stephenson is the partner Luna was referring to, and also to toss his own opinion into the mix, even though he noted this was the first time he's even heard of the book Larsen said that Luna "crying racism and taking[...]

In today's Savage Dragon #244, we get the return of the chicken-headed Powerhouse, heading up a superhero team, and being recruited by the TV people who have plagued – and funded – Malcolm Dragon's life to go head to head with Dragon in a PPV grudge match. But before that can happen, there has to be[...]

It's unknown what connection Image have with the mysterious Freemasons – are they longtime accomplices in a secret plot to support the new world order, or simply renting the lodge for the weekend?
