Turok returns to comics in Dark Horse's new familiar take on the characters.
I only know Turok from the N64 video games and I assume we're witnessing the beginning of his story. We see the first encounter between Turok and Andar as they flee from the bad guys. Turok is clearly a warrior and will make difficult decisions at the drop of a hat, or arrow in this case.
The art and writing feels true to what I'd imagine these characters reading like. There is a tiny bit of confusion as a new reader like me won't fully know who Turok is or why there are all these dinosaurs around.
Also included is a reprint of Turok, Son of Stone #1 from 1954. There seems to be some slight differences between Turok and Andar. This story explains more of the world they're in but we'll have to wait to see how it plays out in the new series. The story is simple, yet a fun read.
The Good
First issues often take pages to set up the story and characters. Here, we jump right into the action. It's not everyday you get to read a comic with people getting shot by arrows and stabbed by spears. If you're looking for action mixed with some violence, you will find it here, but not in an over-the-top presentation.I only know Turok from the N64 video games and I assume we're witnessing the beginning of his story.
