Art by Stuart Immonen from Fear Itself Sketchbook & render from cover art of Monster Hunter TriI've been out of the loop a bit the past few months and was catching up on various Big Two happenings, most notably Flashpoint and Fear Itself (should have primers for each in the next week or two), so forgive me if this has been pointed out elsewhere. While looking through the Fear Itself Sketchbook, I stumbled across a really cool looking dragon/serpent. Looking closer, I saw an uncanny resemblence I couldn't quite put my finger on.
So I warmed up my Google-fu and did a quick search of "dragon monster" and nothing stood out on cursory scan, so then thinking the big bad is The Serpent for this event tried "serpent monster". The latter search brought up various dragons and serpent-like creatures, but on the second row was a very familiar creature with Japanese text (Ragiakurusu for the romaji version) and the jpg name of "New_seadragon.jpg".
Now, knowing a little Japanese and finally recognizing just what the sketchbook image reminded me of, it was pretty striking to read off the name and see Monster Hunter Tri's Lagiacrus, the very same creature in the sketchbook and the leviathan featured prominently on the cover to the immensely popular Wii game.
Now, bets, Fing Fang Foom vs Lagiacrus - who wins? Hopefully we can get both in Marvel vs Capcom 3 as DLC to settle it.

Anonymoussaid...I enjoy all the articles at Weekly crisis, because in their own way each is entertaining.
BUT I love Comic book moments of the week, weekly reviews & Previews.
Where are they at?
Matt Duartesaid...@Frank: Look at them closely. The fins in the back of their head, the sides of their mouth, and the position are eerily similar.
@Anon: The Moments are coming soon.

My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.
