Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #9

Dynamite's Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #9 presents a tense standoff rendered in moody oranges and reds by cover artist Bart Sears — the powerfully built Turok dominates the foreground, knife in hand and a quiver of arrows across his back, while a medieval-armored archer in green draws his bow in a wary crouch behind him. The pairing of a Native warrior and a knight-era bowman against that smoldering sky captures the collision of worlds that defines this Gold Key revival perfectly. With writers Paul Tobin and Greg Pak steering the series in 2014, this issue promises the kind of genre-blending adventure the title delivers so well.
