Modern Comics Heating Up (2026 Edition)

It hadn’t dawned on me that my LCS, who typically carries a lot of Image and indie, hasn’t had shelf copies of Savage Dragon in years. Somehow I never noticed.

I would imagine Savage Dragon is seriously low printed compared to other Image books but it keeps trucking along mostly because Larsen keeps doing it and the occasional controversy like this helps.

That is my impression too. I had stopped buying Savage Dragon a very long time ago. I think the current shock publicity may only lead to a temporary bump (if any) after-the-fact. I don’t believe retailers were aware of the contents of issue #280.

Yes, it’s pretty raunchy. The last page (full panel art) of A and C covers show a female character on the receiving end of a foursome. Body parts are hidden (but otherwise engaged). Cover B version adds fluids…an absurd amount…even impacting the room walls. I had flashbacks to “that scene” in The Happytime Murders movie. I really think this issue should have been polybagged.

Sounds like a regular Friday night for me back in my college days. I kid, I was a late bloomer when it came to dating.

lol…I almost spit up my lunch. Thx for the visuals…and belly laugh. As for the volume…yes, more than Spider-Spunk and if I had to guess, possibly more than X-rated Men. Too funny!

Absolute Batman is just nuts. I found a first print of issue 11 this weekend on the shelves. Listed for $75. Sold.

Always bet on Bunn

Curious about him He seems crazily prolific and has quite a few fans, but have any of his comics been developed into TV/movies or “hit” spec-wise?

The Empty Man.

The 6th Gun came really close, pilot was filmed and Pedro Pascal was in the cast… NBC declined on picking up the series.

Highly recommend reading the SG trades for anyone who hasn’t. Great story.

Sell or hold?

I think this will eventually get closer to ABM1… I’ll end up selling a few then holding onto the rest.

I still have x11 copies. I may finally move a few at this price
