“Jurassic League” is The Justice League as dinosaurs (and I’m here for it)!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m not a big DC comics reader. As a teen I focused on three titles: Marvel’s Spider-man, X-men<\/em> and Image’s Spawn<\/em>. Those were my go-to’s. Later, I was a big Batman fan for a while, but since DC’s gone ape over Batman titles, I’m over it. Full disclosure: here are the recent DC titles I’m reading right now. Batman ’89<\/em> because, duh! and Cliff Chiang’s Catwoman<\/em> because I really dig old and aging superheroes. Otherwise I gravitate toward a wider range of comics. Such as creator owned projects, TMNT’s Ronin<\/em> from IDW, a handful of Image creators and…you get the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a couple of reasons why I’m extra hyped over DC announcing The Jurassic League <\/em>series. The first is that it’s doing exactly the thing only comics can do. One of the things I love most about comics is if you can dream it, you can draw it. Re-imagining The Justice League as dinosaurs is genius. It’s a prime example of giving us the thing we didn’t know we wanted. Who knew how awesome it would be to see Batman as a dinosaur? No one knew, but now that’s it here I’m all in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second reason is Daniel Warren Johnson who’s worked on Wonder Woman: Dead Earth<\/em> and Beta Ray Bill<\/em>. I’ve just recently been turned on to Johnson’s work and was an immediate fan. I’m less familiar with the artist on this project, Juan Gedeon (Venom<\/em>), but from the images that have been released from DC, I’m not worried. It looks as if this project is in great hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent Polygon article, Johnson is quoted saying, “I dig the Justice League, but I dig them MORE as dinosaurs.” Not that I ever thought about it, but I’m pretty sure I agree. Gedeon said in the same article, “I didn’t know if it was a good idea or not, I just knew I wanted to draw these creatures.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one series where I’m hoping the hype is justified. Yet, when I step back I have to ask, how can this go wrong?! It’s superhero dinosaurs. Wonder Woman is a Triceratops! Batman is a T-rex. Let’s do this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jurassic League is set to be released on May 10th, wherever comics are sold. There will be 6 issues in the miniseries, for $3.99. Don’t forget to check out more preview artwork below!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
