Synopsis:
As a world somewhere far away in space turns inhabitable, the supreme race moves out looking for a new home where they can establish their culture. In their hunt for a new home, they find the little blue planet, and here the action explodes.
Set in the age of dinosaurs, these visitors think they can overrun the planet but the savage reptilian inhabitants are not ready to give away their home without a fight. They are way more intelligent than anyone ever knows, just like some junglee tribes. And this leads to a great war that could lead to the mass extinction of either race.
AWEsomeness:
The 2nd pic is a wonderful depiction of the first encounter of the two alien cultures. The 4th pic’s artistic panels themselves can make one’s spine quiver and can make one hear the thunderous roar announcing the approaching war.




My Review:
Dinosaurs vs. Aliens is one of the most interesting books one must-have, the art is equally ‘woah’, but I gotta tell you, this is just the prequel of a superb storyline that wasn’t completed. It’s a shame that they couldn’t complete it. The storytelling amplifies the loss, desires, and intention of both the parties. So, unless there is ever a second volume coming up, we can ponder how the story goes ahead now in our minds if we get bored and have nothing to do. Barry Sonnenfeld along with Grant Morrison and Mukesh Singh tells an intriguing unrecorded history of the Earth that is lost in time. As mentioned earlier, this book is just the beginning of an amazing concept playing out the prologue of a war, but no concluding volume came out. But you can enjoy the wonderful story and build a great sequel in your mind, based on that. And you’ll be amazed what your mind can cook up. That’s intriguing, right!?
Rating: 4½/5
