Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #5

I'm not saying anything new here, you guys. I also wasn't super kidding when I said at the beginning of this review that I was going to give the issue a perfect score. It's everything a comic should be; fun, slightly educational, it tells a coherent story from month to month, and it looks gorgeous. Also, it has a fucking dinosaur with an eye patch. This issue is as good a jumping on point as any, and it's still early days, so you can get the back issues. You won't regret it, unless you hate dinosaurs with eye patches, in which case how do you live with yourself. Read Full Review

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter's second arc gets off to a stellar start with the introduction of new characters and nemesis' making it the perfect jumping on point. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

I enjoyed Mirko Colaks artwork this issue. It felt cleaner than in the past. Still, he adds just enough grits to the dinosaurs to make them stand out from the page. The grit reminds me of Gil Kane and Patrick Brodericks. It gives dynamism to the comic book. Read Full Review

The action was pretty fun in this issue and read pretty well from start to finish. It might have been lacking the major surprises that other issues have had, but there was enough here to keep me interested in this new story arc. Mammoths and flying dinosaurs, heres looking at you. Turok Dinosaur Hunter #5 is a good jumping on point for new readers. Read Full Review

Art was noticeably worse and not sure how much I'll continue to care about this book.
