review:

'Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Volume 1' is a grand reboot with Native Americans, dinosaurs and knights all squaring off against each other. It was definitely in the fine style of other Turok stories I've read.



Young Turok is shunned by his tribe, which is fine by him since they murdered his parents. Not only that, but some of the tribe want to kill him too, but he's been preparing for this. Before they can carry out their plans, they are surprised by a group of English knights and the strange beasts they have unleashed from their boat. Turok finds himself the reluctant protector of his people.



The story is followed by a script breakdown of the first issue and a pretty extensive cover gallery.



I like this new Turok. He's not afraid to be brutal, which, when you're dealing with dinosaurs and gold-crazed invaders is probably a good thing. The story feels very modern while not losing the essence of the character. I applaud Greg Pak for his writing on that. Art by Mirko Colak is great. It was a fun story and I look forward to more adventures of Turok.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
