Savage FINcast – Episode 22: Easy to Digest

Episode22final

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE! The fight every Savage Dragon fan has been waiting for is here! Craig, Jim, and Raven have front row seats for brutality of Savage Dragon 190! Dragon is having a hell of a time in prison and now Mako joins the general population! You just know the blood is going to flow! All this plus two thrilling backup stories featuring monster hunting with Powerhouse and Flash Mercury, and the return of the Deadly Duo!

On top of the action packed tales, the Fincast gang also has much to discuss about Erik’s latest awe-inspiring experiment: offering issue 190 in two formats, either a regular 32-page comic or a 64-page digest edition, utilizing the same sized panels in both editions! It’s a must see! Believe us when we say, if Scott McCloud ran a comics college, Larsen would be a tenured professor!

As if that wasn’t enough, we also run through the latest Erik Larsen-related news, and continue our  “Erik Larsen Trivia” segment, where we read your responses to last month’s trivia question and try to stump you with new one.  As always, we would love to hear from you!

We will most likely read your letter on the next episode.

Savage FINcast – Episode 21: Severe Tooth Pain!

Episode21

Prison rules apply on this episode of the Savage FINcast as Craig, Jim, and Raven sit down to review Savage Dragon 189!  Dragon enters a new phase of his life as he finds himself in the slammer along with all the Vicious Circle goons he once put away.  As you can probably guess, the inmates are not about to make him feel welcome! Intense action follows which begs the question– who is locked up with who?  Meanwhile, Ronald Winston Urass plans to make Dragon’s time in prison a groundhog day of never ending punishment!  I don’t think we’d be lying if we said this was most brutal issue of Savage Dragon yet!

In addition to our review of the Savage Dragon 189, we also run through the latest Erik Larsen-related news, and continue our  “Erik Larsen Trivia” segment, where we read your responses to last month’s trivia question and try to stump you with new one!  As always, we would love to hear from you!  Drop us a line at SAVAGEFINCAST (at) GMAIL (dot) COM to answer our trivia question, comment about the show, or suggest future discussion ideas.
