Review: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1

Posted on by

Turok01-Cov-SearsThe Gold Key Universe begins here as Dynamite brings back numerous classic characters suck as Turok, Magnus, Dr. Spektor, and Solar, with some amazing talent. First up is Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 courtesy of writer Greg Pak and artist Mirko Colak.

Shunned from his tribe, a young Native American named Turok fights to survive, making a lonely life for himself in the unforgiving forest. But his hard-won cunning and survival skills face the ultimate test when man-eating Thunder Lizards attack his people! Why are dinosaurs here? How have they survived? And will Turok use his abilities to save a society that’s taken everything away from him?

My experience with Turok is his 90s revival with Valiant, and a little exposure to the classic Gold Key comics (and of course the awesome video game), but going into this relaunch, I had no idea what to expect. With eyes wide open I wondered if we’d get some time travel story with a mix of technology or something a bit more grounded. And to my surprise, and happiness, it’s actually the latter of the two.

This first issue can best be described as understated, with a slow build to some action packed final pages. At first I felt like I was reading a western with its slow pace, but as the comic picked and hurtled towards the end, it was clear this was anything but.

The first issue is all set up, reintroducing us to the classic character and easily getting us to forget what came before. Pak’s writing is boosted by the art by Colak whose style has just enough grittiness to match the mood of the comic.

With Pak, you never know what you might get, other than an excellent read. I went into the comic not sure which version of Turok we’d see, but it’s clear from the start, this is Pak’s version for a whole new generation to enjoy courtesy of Dynamite.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

The_Punisher_1_CoverIt’s a new week of comic goodness and the team has put together some of their choices of comics you should be checking out this week!

Andrew

TOP PICK: Lobster Johnson Get the Lobster #1 (Dark Horse) – I couldn’t have been more excited when Dark Horse announced a five-issue Lobster run. The last two-comic series, Scent of Lotus, was WAY too short. Can LJ stop murderous professional wrestlers??

Black Widow #3 (Marvel) – One of the few Marvel series I currently read. Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto deliver a stunning, 70s-esque series that brings the Black Widow back to her gritty yet refined roots.

Five Ghosts #9 (Image) – Not going to lie, these latest follow-up issues to the original, tour-de-force story arc have been anticlimactic, but I’m still in it to win it…for now. I feel like Fabian has been trying to steal a boat the last three books.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 (Dynamite) – Admittedly, I thought this was a late 90s Nintendo 64 game before I knew it was a comic from the 50s. Native Americans battling dinosaurs? Tough to pass up.

Brett

TOP PICK: Punisher #1 (Marvel) – I’m a Punisher fan, and the string of series Marvel’s released recently have been solid. A new ongoing series is finally launching taking the Punisher to the west coast.

Loki: Agent of Asgard #1 (Marvel) – Loki has been revitalized between the movies and his younger version that was most recently in Young Avengers. He gets the spotlight now in his own series. I really want to see what this is, but a bit nervous.

Ms. Marvel #1 (Marvel) – One of the more interesting recent releases by Marvel. I expect to be a lot of love or hate about this one, which sees a young Jersey girl take on the Ms. Marvel mantle. I’m willing to give it a shot, it should be interesting.

Revelations #2 (BOOM! Studios) – I loved the first issue which saw a detective head to the Vatican to solve a murder. It’s blasphemous noir. I love it!

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 (Dynamite) – Turok is back! The classic Gold Key character, who I got to know through Valiant, is back in a revitalization of the Gold Key line. The first issue is an interesting an entertaining start.
