By Zack Quaintance — Sometimes work comes along that restores your faith in comics. Sometimes you haven’t even read that work. Sometimes you only know like two things about that work. This is what happened yesterday when I learned somebody was doing justice league but with dinosaurs, and one of those somebodies was cartoonist Daniel Warren Johnson (the other is artist Juan Gedeon). Comics? I thought, comics good.

My reaction was validated when I saw the cover (check it out above), and then subsequently read this excellent bit from Polygon’s exclusive news note, announcing a new six-part miniseries called Jurassic League #1:

In the world of Jurassic League, Superman was still sent to Earth on a rocket ship from a dying planet. And he was still raised by humans. It’s just that he’s also a man-shaped brachiosaurus.

If that sentence is somehow not enough to convince you this book will rule — which is launching with a first issue set to arrive on May 10 — maybe the artwork will do it. You can find the pages below, following the official plot synopsis DC shared with Polygon…

You know the story: an infant escapes the destruction of its home planet and is deposited on Earth to be raised by human parents,. A goddess from a lost city defends truth. A Theropod dons the visage of a bat to strike fear into evildoers’ hearts. This heroic trinity, alongside a league of other super-powered dinosaurs, join forces to save a prehistoric Earth from the sinister machinations of Darkseid. Wait ... what? Okay, maybe you don’t know the story. So join us and bear witness to a brand-new — yet older than time — adventure and experience the Justice League as you have never seen them before!

Just top tier stuff. Anyway, now for the pages…eagle-eyed readers might spot Batman, but Batman as a dinosaur; Superman, but Superman as a dinosaur; Wonder Woman, but Wonder Woman as a dinosaur; and The Joker, but The Joker as a dinosaur. Are you an eagle-eyed reader? Find out below, friend!
