The Jurassic League #1

[cyberghostface]

"You know the story: an infant escapes the destruction of its home planet and is deposited on Earth to be raised by human parents. A goddess from a lost city defends truth. A Tyrannosaurus rex dons the visage of a bat to strike fear into evildoers’ hearts. This heroic trinity, alongside a league of other super-powered dinosaurs, join forces to save a prehistoric Earth from the sinister machinations of Darkseid. Wait…what? Okay, maybe you don’t know the story. So join us and bear witness to a brand-new-yet older than time-adventure and experience the Justice League as you have never seen them before!" -- DC Comics

...Dammit, I want more of this.

Is it weird that Batman and Wonder Woman are clearly wearing clothes, but Superman and the Joker are naked?

[shakalooloo]

Well, Superman was raised by those uncultured human beasts, what do you expect? :P

[sadoeuphemist]

The humans are clothed! Actually, missed opportunity to give him a loincloth and have his iconic red trunks.

[blueprintstyles]

I see it more as armour than clothes, Superdino doesn't need it and Jokerzard doesn't care.

Note further that Triceratops! Hippolyta and Diana don’t have People Boobs—thank you!

I enjoyed this first issue quite a bit. It’s a nice mix of serious and silly and I hope the rest of the issues continue in the same way. There’s also something very charming about all the cave people being so happy and accepting of a huge dinosaur alien.

I know that putting in Creator tags is optional, but I feel like they should be inserted in here so they can get the recognition they deserve.

[cyberghostface]

I would have if it was possible to add them.

[icon_uk]

I've clearled a few out, go for it! :)

[shakalooloo]

There is a limit to how many different tags the site can handle, unfortunately.

Wish these were anatomically realistic dinosaurs and not scalies :/

[numeronone]

I think "Prehistoric Planet" has raised the bar for all of us.

This just feels like Disney's abomniable "Dinosaur" flick but with more two-legs.

[leahandillyana]

Never watched "Prehistoric Planet" and greatly enjoyed "Dinosaur" (which is what the Supersaur's storyline seems to be taking inspiration from). My issue with this series is that the creators didn't even try to tell a story about sentient dinosaurs. As it is, Jurassic League is just some silver age nostalgic nonsense. I especially dislike the idea of actual humans being in the story.

[shakalooloo]

Might be difficult for the old superhero fisticuffs to be performed by some quadrupeds.

[numeronone]

Also: come ON, people, all or nothing. A Sauropod without the neck just looks like a bulky dolphin.

[donnblake]

Triceratops Wondy is kind of adorable.

I'm struggling a little with the idea that dressing as a bat would make a T-rex scarier to other dinosaurs.

[shakalooloo]

So, is the Pteranodon that Wonder Woman is riding sentient as well?

[blues32]

You'd think it would be invisible. Either way, Pteranodon isn't a dinosaur...so probably not sentient.

[donnblake]

Or, since this is Wonder Woman... sentient and into it.

[blues32]

Ah, I didn't realize it was golden age Wonder Woman.

This is stupid and I love it and I want more.
