You should know better. And really so should Miller and Darrow. Their forminable talents could so easily have been put to loftier ends but instead they decided to tell the story of a monster dinosaur from the pits of hell with fire-breathing powers blasting the heck out of a major metopolis and a boy robot and american machine-man who arrive to try to save the day. Yeah - it's not the most sophisticated comic book you'll ever read. But it's finely-crafted. Has artwork that will make your eyes boggle. And there's a scientist with a talking monkey on his shoulder. Enjoy with popcorn and large soft drink.
