    Grant Morrison can do no wrong, got the book today, read it loved it.
    My 7 yr old brother is obsessed with dinosaurs so i lend it to him and he (although probably didn't understand what was happening) loved the art.
    The pages are gorgeous, why had this idea never been done sooner, I refuse to give out spoilers, however the pages are stunning. Minimal dialogue yet you understand the story, perfect for those that love dinosaurs.

    I was sold on this title when I picked up the preview comic on Free Comic Book Day. It ended on a cliffhanger and I figured the actual book wouldn't do the same, but it did. That aside, the artwork is amazing and the story is really interesting. I will admit that I felt cheated at the end of the book as I first we would be getting the entire story in the one book. With that in mind, I'll still be getting the next book.

    Just when I had given up hope that Grant Morrison could write a great story that you didn't need a doctorate or "street corner pharmaceuticals" to understand, he and Barry Sonnenfeld produce DINOSAURS vs. ALIENS!! The writing is top notch, and the artwork is breathtaking!! This is definitely a pitch for a movie, and after reading his book....You will agree with me that it is an awesome concept for a film, and I can't wait!!!

    Think Jurassic Park meets Aliens, War of the Worlds meets The Lion King, Europeans meeting Native Americans.....o.k., these are all bad comparisons. Just buy it and see, you'll love it!!

    Great start only wish they followed through. Wish more to the story would come out. Very sad it most likely won’t happen. Being a dinosaur lover this hits hard. Maybe one day it will come back.

    Although perhaps the alien narrator can be a bit chatty at times, I think this idea is an excellent one and I hope it will be made into a movie and if so that it is made with as little corruption to the story as possible. And of course, the alien narrator has to speak for himself and the dinosaurs who do not speak (which is what really makes this story work).

    Be sure to not skip the introduction by the creator.

    The title of this comic has obviously caught your eye, and you're devling into the reviews, so you must want to know more. So what can you expect beyond sensationalist theropodal carnage and flashing laser beams?

    Well, an alien mothership belonging to a dying race from a dying world, after countless ages traversing space, finally comes across a nice, hospitable little blue planet said aliens would like to settle. The only problem is that this planet -- Earth -- is already inhabited by a complex society of surprisingly intelligent reptile species: the dinosaurs. And the dinosaurs do not like the idea of strangers muscling in on their turf. According to the introductions, this is a parable for the idea of "Manifest Destiny" leading white settlers to wipe out as many Native Americans as they could. Okay, so there's your mandatory important morality shoehorned into your violent entertainment. Violence + important lesson: always good in my book, as it makes for a greater impact.

    The only understandable words in the comic itself are the log entries of the alien commander, the rest being various static garbles and archosaurian roars, growls, chirps, and squawks. But if you have problems following the action, the shooting script for the story is thoughtfully included at the end, along with lots of artist's sketches. And I use the term "shooting script," because this is also set to become a movie. (Come Hell or high water, I'll be at that cinema on opening night, and the first to order the DVD!) The comic ends rather aburptly on a bit of a cliffhanger because, as mentioned in A. Hislop's review, this is only Part 1, and I have yet to see any info on the release of further volumes.

    I must say that the idea of aliens and dinosaurs on the same planet has been done a few times before, but not quite as stylishly. The artwork is superb, and the portrayal of the dinosaurs as a savage (not just primitive, but actually darned vicious) yet intelligent culture is quite compelling and appealing. All attempts have been made to portray the dinosaurs in as scientifically up-to-date a manner as possible (apart from the tattoos, jewelry, armour and weapons, of course), with such features as feathered 'raptors, caring parenting, and interspecies herd groups. The only deviation from this accuracy is the use of species from different time periods and areas of the planet co-existing for the sake of visual impact. But once you have tribal-blinged dinosaurs waging war on tentacled invaders, a Giganotosaurus and a Spinosaurus living in North America alongside an Allosaurus is small beer.

    If you liked the "Age of Reptiles" comics by Ricardo Delgado, you'll very likely get a kick out of this as well. Not bad for a project stemming from Barry Sonnenfeld playing with his toy dinosaurs and military vehicles as a kid!

    I disegni sono veramente belli, i dialoghi ridotti all'essenziale, e così deve essere, dopotutto i dinosauri non parlano! Per chi mastica benino l'inglese non troverà difficoltà nella lettura e la trama non è qualcosa di già visto e ci può stare benissimo.
    NON è una storia autoconclusiva, quindi c'è da aspettarsi una parte due (e forse 3), diciamo che questo è un ''assaggio'', il prologo di quello che potrà diventare.... al momento la storia e i personaggi ci sono, ora è da vedere come sarà sviluppata. Almeno hanno integrato con commenti dei creatori,bozze varie, e anche lo script originale.

    In sostanza a me è piaciuta l'idea e il resto in generale (formato,colori,carta,ecc) anche se mi aspettavo qualcosa di più sostanzioso, quindi do 4 stelle perchè confido in un seguito più all'altezza e che si possa chiamare fumetto con la F maiuscola.
