Comics Review: Turok #1 (Dynamite Comics)

Turok (2019-) #1 by Ron Marz

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


First, Conan, now this? It's going to be a pulp-y 2019, huh?

I picked this up since Marz is on the title, and I generally enjoy his take on Adventure/Fantasy.

The title is simply "Turok", but it's clear it's "The Dinosaur Hunter" and as far as I can tell, it is a new start that just keeps it to its basic origin.

Roberto Castro's art is fine enough. It's what might be in line for the title. There's not a lot in the first issue to show off until the final pages, anyway.

Marz does a decent enough job jumping right into the action, which basically sets up a cliffhanger of introducing the Lost Valley.

Indeed, there are enough pages that it doesn't quite feel like a #0 issue, but it does seem to end just as it's picking up steam.

This is going to probably be a pretty basic Dynamite -style story, with Marz a better choice to tell the story than some. Reading this right after Aaron's Conan probably does it a disservice, but there's enough here I will stick with it.
