I enjoyed it. 7/10.
It was great to see the reappearance of the now illegal couch potatoes in Judge Dredd. Who knew they were so full of red stuff? Yeuchh! If it were a dinosaur it would be a potatosaurus.
Shakara is a superbosaurus rex.
Flesh was alright and all this week, but I didn't like all the undercurrents of rape and gloating sadism. Velociraptors can hang upside-down from trees and ambush passing lassoo planes if they want to. That's all I'm saying.
The Futurosaurus Shockceratops seemed as old-fashioned as it was retro, with its signposted fallible plan, the gullible protagonist and the spiralling descent into ruin. For me it recalled The English/Phlondrutian Phrasebook, Grawks Bearing Gifts, and several others in which the plot cam be summarised as 'things go from bad to worse.' It was, nevertheless, a vehicle for some nicely horrid comic set pieces.
Lastly, I am glad to see the return of Dandridge. My expectation of this series is that almost anything might happen. In terms of tone it reminds me of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol's encounter with The Brotherhood of Dada, and, specifically, The Painting that Ate Paris, and its backstory (as a walk-on character, Doctor Silence was a stroke of genius). Ectoplasmosaurus. Rarrrr!
