review:

Three words: dinosaurs and Nazis. If that already has you, then there's no reason to keep reading this. Just run to your local comic shop and pick this up. For the rest of you, I get why you might hesitate.



Take your typical drunken Irish G.I. Put him with a squad of soldiers on an island in the Pacific. First they run across a secret Nazi base with Panzers (in the Pacific!), then they run across some dinosaurs, which do the kinds of things dinosaurs tend to do.



Typical drunken Irish G.I. now has a reason to drink and he's back home. He gets approached by a strange team who want him to go back and face the terrors on the island to stop the Nazis from whatever they are planning. The team is comprised of a British intelligent agent, a kind of ninja Japanese deserter and an American super soldier (reminiscent of another well known super soldier).



It's a lot of fun and it never takes itself too seriously. Why should it? There are twists and turns along the way, but most of them were fairly well telegraphed, but you're reading this for the dinosaurs, right? And they do all the great dinosaur stuff. Head biting, gory, frightening. It's a fun book, and I had a great time reading it.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Bood Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this adventure packed graphic novel.
