My point wasn't that it bothered *me* that he seemed to get bitten by the dino, it's that *he* wasn't bothered by it.

I was just gonna say something about that. That's not something you try unless you already know it can't kill you. For that matter, you don't attack a dinosaur in general unless you already know you're gonna win.

I know, Captain Obvious statement of the year, right there.

Ok, time to eat crow for this STOOPID naysayer:
I loved this.
I never thought of Turok while reading it. Yes, dinosaurs- but this is not Turok, at all, in it's essence. I loved the Clayton Henry pencilled backstory, but let's jump to the star(s) of the book:
LaRosa and Brian Reber. Damn it, that opening sequence is one of the most beautiful pages that VEI has put out. True Awesome Stuff. I was expecting good, but not seeing the previews in color was the best thing I did. I was wowed by that first page alone.

Only complaint: short. I wanted more info, for a first issue. And (not a complaint, but...) I can't see how this kid will fit into the VEIverse and what he brings to the table. He's a teen wildling who is skilled at hunting dinos. Faraway Park Ranger?
But aside that, GREAT book and I'm GLAD I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG.

Bravo to all the artists involved and for VEI for giving us a dino-hunter that is not Turok-light.

I can see him fitting fine into the VEI universe.

I can't see how this kid will fit into the VEIverse and what he brings to the table.

It's early. This could go anywhere after the first arc or two. Have faith.

Oh yeah, like I said not really a complaint, just a huge "Hmmm..."
I can't imagine what is the direction of this (stopped reading previews a long time) and that is a really great thing.

I never, ever read previews and if I see pre-released art teasers, I try to avoid that too. Why spoil the fun?

Like you, I am enjoying the new content; we have no idea what will happen next.
