Brimming with action, adventure, and more dinosaurs than you can shake a stick at, this one is certain to keep you on your toes from start to finish! Read Full Review

OverallThis is a fairly confident second issue, which advances the story and leaves us with an intriguing enough cliffhanger to entice us back for the next issue. Read Full Review

The second installment of Turok worked better for me in terms of story but it was already strong just from the visual design of it. Roberto Castro makes this feel like the kind of land that it should be with the grasslands and the openness of it all. But he also delights with the character designs and that of the dinosaurs, making me want more encounters with both of them. Read Full Review

Marz does a good job of keeping you interested in the story as, even though Turok isn't one of those books I will clamor to read next month, it does have me interested to see what happens next. Read Full Review

This reimagining of "Turok" feels like anything but, failing to produce anything that you won't have seen before. Read Full Review

Damn, this issue was awesome. That being said this is the shortest review I've done in a while. I'm not too heavy into the characters here or the lore of the setting but Ron Marz is an amazing writer and sells all of it.  I also liked that we're shown not told why Turok is such a dangerous threat or ally.  I just finished reading Mark Russell's Lone Ranger, also from Dynamite and its really cool that we got to see three Native American heroes featured so prominently this year.  ​​ The bulk of the issue centers around Turok, Andar, and the Soldiers hunting them reacting to the new world they now find themselves in. There is a lot of action in this book and its glorious.  The plot isn't especially deep. The action is dynam ic and moves at a brisk pace but not fast enough where a reader would feel ripped off. It's also a lot of fun as Roberto and Salvator leave a lot of visual candy on every page.   ​​The dinosaurs are varied and dangerous. We also get a few other elements thrown into the mix that I wasn't looking for. My expectations have definitely been subverted.  I really enjoyed this issue and want to see more. I legit have no complaints. This is a great single issue and I imagine that Turok will read great in trade once it's released. Dynamite is quickly becoming one of my favorite publishers with series like Turok leading the charge. more
