review 1: Rating is for "The Journey", as I've reviewed the other collected books in their own separate pages. The journey is the best Age of Reptiles book of the lot, which is unfortunate considering you can apparently only find it here (outside of the original comics). The story is pretty apparent, it concerns a migration of friendly dinosaurs, who get hounded by the more predatorial creatures. The art is pretty sexy, and this book has more complex paneling than previous volumes. The absence of anthropomorphic traits is an big plus for this volumes, I actually felt like I was watching, for the most part, real dinosaurs.
review 2: Wow... not sure if this will make sense, but this book was like the Battle of Hastings in the Land Before Time, written like if Owly were in ... morethe Bayeux Tapestry. That's perfectly clear, right? Even without words, this took a little bit of time to read- my brain had to work even harder to figure out what was going on, who was whom, and it was a real adjustment to read a comic about dinosaurs that weren't anthropomorphized. The art was stunning, really, and each page had a wealth of detail to take in. While I'm not into dinosaurs or the circle of life, I found myself marveling at this book. I could see it being really appealing to reluctant male readers, maybe of the middle school age. There's definitely some fights and general carnivory (yep, that's a word now- car NIV a ree), but I think they'd love it. less
