Tolkien was a master of references like that.

Tim Truman made that book. Without him, Turok really would have sucked.

I enjoyed it after they went back to the Lost Land as well...

I liked the character when he first showed up in Mags 12 too tho, and I thought they did a pretty neat job of using him during Unity.

This is a good evaluation of the Valiant run on Turok.

With the outstanding intro in Magnus 12 we were left expecting so much out of his upcoming series. Even though it wasn't bad, expectations were so high it was still a let-down. I think those same high expectations plagued the company "across the board" until the very end.

his stuff wasn't too bad.

i could read from beginning to the end and i didn't have a problem

don't get me wrong, i wasn't thrilled to read it, nor I would imagine it woudl be a monthly book that I had to get.

but at least it was more readable than x-o or even EW at the end...
