Mako, one of the most dangerous villains in Savage Dragon history, got an upgrade in today’s Savage Dragon #256. The character, who was killed in Savage Dragon #191, was implied by the cover on the issue to have returned from the dead…but that wasn’t exactly the case. Instead, an obscure member of the Vicious Circle injected himself with Mako blood in order to regain powers following the mass-depowering that happened when the government rained Freak-Out down on the attacking Vicious Circle members last year. The character of Mako, who first appeared in Larsen’s pre-Image Dragon comics, has been a constant presence in the title.
