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? We don't know the answer, but it's worth noting that the Image Comics ongoing book scheduling process is nearly as arcane and secretive as[...]

Sequential art is pretty much the entire point of comics, and lots of people surely recognize that and appreciate the talent of artists, right? But there's another way to look at it, as noted by Image Founder Erik Larsen on Twitter: Now that the plan has proven successful–now you bitch about it? You made that bed, Marvel, sleep[...]

With scenes and storylines closer in tone to Sex Criminals rather than classic Dragon. In today's issue, Erik Larsen relishes in the content rating the comic now has. So this issue of Savage Dragon, which sees the return of the original Angel to the Dragon's Earth, started innocently… but included what could be seen as a Basic[...]

Original Image founders Todd McFarlane, Jim Valentino, Erik Larsen, Sir Rob Liefeld, Marc Silvestri, and Whilce Portacio will reunite at Emerald City Comicon 2017, ostensibly to celebrate the company's milestone 25th anniversary in a panel moderated by Walking Dead mogul and Kentucky land baron Robert Kirkman Supposedly, the panel "will focus on the origin story of the[...]

Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Ser Robert Liefeld, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Whilce Portacio, and Jim Valentino left the books they were drawing at Marvel, created new characters that for the most part looked suspiciously similar to the ones they were drawing at Marvel, and ended up creating what is today the third largest comic book[...]

But Image founder and Savage Dragon creator Erik Larsen has a more pragmatic approach to the impending Trump presidency: he's having him guest star in his comic. On Facebook, Larsen posted: Some fans suggested a few gruesome caricatures, but Larsen explained: Trump won't have much an impact on the story, it seems, however: Though Larsen might change his mind[...]

I think the photographer thought he was shooting a shitty '70s album cover. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) March 1, 2016     As tweeted by the big man… When Savage Dragon made the mass media for the first time… @robertliefeld I have no idea I think the photographer thought he was shooting a shitty '70s album cover. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen)[...]

It's one of the oldest comic arguments going. And today on Twitter it was between Tony S Daniel, Greg Capullo, Kurt Busiek, Jonathan Ross and others. Here

In later battles, both Angel and Glum died, something Dragon is able to prevent in another dimension. Savage Dragon has recently pushed the expectations of the sexuality of the comic, specifically with Macolm Dragon's polyamorous life. Well, this time Erik Larsen does it again. He takes that situation to it's logical conclusion, with issue #207 going there. Because, in[...]

Telling the story of an invading alien-turned cop, it has spun off in wide directions, challenging and shocking, but also playing with the medium as creator Erik Larsen chooses His style changes with the season, as the comic turns from one thing into another Police procedural/alien invasion/superhero smash-em-up or the current sex comedy, starring his[...]

You see, Savage Dragon is more than just an average superhero comic book… It's A Giant,[...]

But today, in it's 200th anniversary issue, Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon tackles the issue affecting us more than anything else today, where no mainstream superhero comic book has gone before, the threesome. Of course it doesn't start off that way. As Malcolm moves in with his girlfriend, it finally gets real. I say real, they are using condoms[...]

Brian Goldberg writes from New York Comic Con for Bleeding Cool: I recently started a sketch book.  My previous collection of sketches were loose and all over the place.  If you're a sketch collector of art done by professional comic artists, New York Comic Con is a great place to add to your collection.  Artist Alley[...]

But then you look at Erik Larsen, a BIG name in the industry, and there were tumbleweeds Same went for Frank Cho, who was hidden off in the boonies A lot of the artists were thrown off into corners, or flat-out ignored Hell, I had some who were damn grateful that I was coming up[...]

Megaton Man creator Don Simpson has been posting most entertainingly on Facebook about that project that never happened, the 1963 Annual, that would have topped off the Image Comics series by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, Rick Veitch and more. To heck with the 1963 Annual — I'm just going to draw the "In Pictopia" Annual —[...]
