Dinosaurs Attack! #3

No American landmark is safe in this IDW series, as the cover by Earl Norem makes vividly clear — a massive serpentine dinosaur has coiled itself around the Statue of Liberty, shattering her base while military helicopters scramble overhead and fires rage across the harbor below. Norem's painted artwork gives the scene a visceral, pulpy grandeur that feels ripped straight from a 1950s creature-feature fever dream, updated for 2013 with all the chaos and spectacle that title like Dinosaurs Attack! promises. If prehistoric mayhem on a national-monument scale sounds like your kind of reading, issue #3 delivers that premise with tremendous visual gusto.
