This book reads like an adventure of Indiana Jones. It's just one thing after another. It's written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, teamed up yet again. And drawn by Khari Evans. The artwork is pretty good . . . but it's just now my style. But I have to admit, Shanna looks pretty voluptuous. Those melons are bouncing all over these pages. But I don't think that the guys she's trying to protect have really noticed. Since they've arrived on the island, they've been in one life or death situation after another. Now? Now they're in a lost Nazi city, made of gold, and inhabited by neanderthal cavemen Nazi's. Maybe they're not Nazi's. But they are the dominant species that survived to inhabit the city. And right now, all our main characters are in a gladiatorial type pit facing 2 hungry saber-tooth tigers. Of course Shanna beats them, but not before they take out a few of Dirk's crew. Then, when it looks like they may have a little respite, the city is descended upon by Pterodactyls. They're scooping up women and children like birds attacking mice. That attack is assuaged, and then a swarm of carnivorous dinosaurs, Velociraptors, come running in to town. Eating, or attacking, everything in their path. They decide to climb to the rooftops to try to get away from them. But up there, Axeman and his men are waiting for them with guns drawn. Like I said, it's just one thing after another. But it's kept at a good pace, with lots of good action. Overall a nice book. But next issue is the last. So I guess then we'll find out who lives and who dies.
