She's bold, she's beautiful, and she's your best hope of escaping the raptors nipping at your heels. She's Shanna, the She Devil! Award-winning creator Frank Cho brings you Marvel's bodacious jungle... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Combine an action-adventure story worthy of Edgar Rice Burroughs with a protagonist right out of a pin-up magazine and you have Shanna the She-Devil. It's a great re-imagining of the character. Cho's artwork is stunning!
Move over Tarzan, Shanna's got more of everything.

Frank Cho's artistry is top notch. He breaks the trendy mold on how to draw the female form in action in today's comics and graphic novels. The story is far fetched but Jurassic park made money for a reason.
Beautiful art and a fun story

This is a great buy for anyone who knows and enjoys Cho's art. He has stated that he loved doing this series because it was full of two of his favorite subjects- hot women and dinosaurs- and that joy shows on every page. The story is exactly waht it means to be: fun. There are intriguing bits of character development and good dialogue throughout, but don't look for a penetrating analysis of the human condition here. This is a story about a Cho Babe slugging it out with dinos. This hardcover edition is beatifully bound like Marvel's other Premiere HCs, and in this case the content merits the format.
Hey, it's Frank Cho!

I bought this book because I like how Frank draws women (e.g, Liberty Meadows's Brandy and Jen). You can check out his artwork at http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/categories.php. I didn't give it 5 stars because the plot isn't really original. You probably heard it all before -- an artificial construct (be it a robot, a clone, a cyborg, a computer) starts out cold and heartless but with a patient, elderly or young mentor/friend at its side becomes "human" in the end (e.g. Terminator 2, Short Circuit, Iron Giant, etc.) I would have given it 5 stars if it were in paperback. The hardcover edition is just too pricey in my opinion. Wait for the TPB this May 2006.
