1st panel reminds me of the T-rex biting Aric in half. I wonder if it was inspired by that.

Hmm...it looks a bit cartoony. Is this from the new series?

I thought the same thing. Then thought I was being too critical.

It's just one page, so perhaps it gets better, but I was instantly reminded of the final Turok book for Acclaim when I saw this (and that's not a good thing).

I've been quite surprised by the style of covers that Dark Horse have been putting out in relation to the actual interior art. It's a pretty stark contrast.

This looks cool but, as said, quite cartoony!

Where are you finding all this stuff Orbitalshift?

This page came from this Previews article.

As for the art, I like it. At this point with Doctor Solar #1 setting the bar so low anything seems like a step in the right direction. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the book, but I think this is clear and doesn't distract from the story, so i'm good so far.

I was just thinking that too. The artwork on the cover is simply incredible. Kind of disappointing to see such a radical change on the inside.

...and in a comic book no less!

I am shocked!

Agreed. Looks fantastic. If he can keep that up for the whole series, we got a winner.

I like it (except for the man-thongs

)

"Beset by bloodthirsty enemies and beasts, Turok and Andar encounter an even deadlier threat—the fearsome Panther People and their mesmerizing goddess, Aasta. "

Maybe there will be chick-thongs too. Though wouldn't that make her Assta?

Zing!

I've been defending the art so far but...

What is the deal with these?

The three titles taken as a whole are most definitely "down" in the art department. Especially when you consider how great the covers are, as has been mentioned.

It's the colors right? Again?

JAYJAY we need you!

Not a fan of the art at all. Hope the story is good to offset it...

You know, my view on art has been changing a bit, and I have been paying attention to how well art tells the story. I see a lot of books that seem like they are just a collection of poses and pinups, and the story would be indecipherable from just looking at the art.

I noticed this recently in the X-Infernus hardcover I got. It's a cool story, but the art does not tell the story well. It seems like a collection of action poses.

This Turok art seems very crisp and clear, and seems to clearly convey the action that is going on in the story. I appreciate that.

Good to keep an open mind as far as the artwork. When the original Shooter helmed Valiant books came out in the early 1990's I was working a comic book shop up in State College, PA. The books were a hard sell at first as the customers did not care for the artwork (including BWS). However they did like the storylines and writing and as word of mouth built they finally took off. I look for the same thing to happen here.

good point

I'm afraid that's what I thought of too...

Didn't look too bad, but I do agree the style is ala Akklaim.

Good viewpoint, and I'm sure the one Dark Horse is taking as well.

I like it, it's Gold Key Meets the Acclaim Turok look.
