There's actually a couple of reasons that I'm happy to see another Shanna mini-series on the shelves. First of all, I think she's a pretty decent character. And she's one of the original "jungle girls". Of which there's so many rip-offs out there now. Secondly, even though Frank Cho isn't doing the art on this run, the artwork of Khari Evans is quite nice too. It's got a different style than Frank's. But . . that's ok. He still represents the story and the series well. Also . . it's nice to see Shanna bouncing around the jungle again . . in a loin-cloth that's barely there. I wonder if she realizes the sex-appeal that she exudes. I mean it flows off of her like . . . well like . . any type of liquid I'd like to see flowing off of her. Meowww!! Anyways, this story kicks off with a crash landing on her "dinosaur island". A group of Pirates are commandeering a boat full of rich people out on a pleasure cruise. But . . during the heist . . they stray a little to close to shore, and one of the dinosaur octopus', I don't know what they're called, bring down both boats. So now they're stranded on the island, and about to be eaten by a bunch of Velociraptors. But of course, Shanna comes swinging in to save the day. Long story short, they're a bunch of thieves, but . . they're not killers. All they want now is to get off the island. But, they're also being chased by someone, Teddy "the axe" Xiang, and his group. Who are killers. So when they see his plane land, they know that they're going to need it to get off the island. The problem is, they have to get past Teddy and his gang, and all the dinosaurs, in order to do it. That's where the theme of this story is going to come in. It's written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. And it should be a heck of a ride. It's only 4 issue, and not 6, so it'll be over soon. Buckle in . . and get ready for the ride.
