Skylanders: Return of the Dragon King is presumably the most anticipated comic arc in the Skylanders series so far. The reason why is because the story features the full debut of Malefor, the self-crowned Undead Dragon King in the Skylanders universe.
Did you know? Malefor originally appeared in the Spyro series, notably The Legend of Spyro game trilogy as the true main antagonist. For him to finally appear in the Skylanders universe, reimagined along with Spyro, Cynder and Sparx, is what most fans, most Spyro and Skylanders fans, have been waiting for since he was first mentioned in the backstories of Cynder and Hex.
Skylanders Malefor was portrayed wonderfully, proving to be the most malevolent and powerful enemy the Skylanders (Spyro included) had ever faced. Though I was still curious about how he will be portrayed as being the first purple dragon in the Skylanders universe and reveal his connection to Spyro. Kudos to writers David A. Rodriguez and Ron Marz for developing Malefor's character and the story. It was well worth the wait. :D
And Fico-Ossio, IDW Publishing comic artist for Skylanders, did a magnificent job designing Malefor when researching The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Very intimidating and awesome redesign, although his normal state was a little too similar to Malefor's Dawn of the Dragon design.
Overall, I would highly recommend this story arc for those who are die-hard Spyro and Skylanders fan WHO have an intense liking in seeing Malefor back in action in some form. I hope to see him again in a future Skylanders comic, or a Skylanders game. :)
