A young boy and his father are working with a small t-rex to save the earth. A entire world was found under the earth's crust, a world where dinosaurs still exist. The boy, his father and their dino friend must work to protect this utopia from evil villain Max Maximus.
The three main characters in this book are Derek Dynamo, a ten year old boy who fights Max Maximus along wit his talking t-rex, Super Dinosaur and Dr. Dynamo Derek's father. The three live together in an fortress in the mountains.
This book is set in the near future, after Maximus and Dynamo find inner-earth. The setting is absolutely crucial to the book, because the entire point of the plot is to protect inner-earth.
The plot is shabbily written and this book did in no way satisfy my needs as a reader. However, if you are looking for a classic comic with lots of punches to the jaw, this is the book for you.

Yeah. Just not feeling it. The dialog is clunky and the tone is off. Like, it feels as though it's intended for kids, but it's sometimes a bit violent for the age it feels aimed at. There are some interesting bits of story, but it doesn't feel like it's moving along at the right pace. Sometimes too fast. Sometimes too slow. But just...off.
Anyway. It's not for me. I'd picked up the first two volumes several years ago. Maybe at a Free Comic Book Day? Whatever the case, I won't be tracking down the next volume or continuing with the series.

This continues to be sooo much fun to read.
It's almost so childish and so entertaining, that, at every page turn, i wait for a plot twist or something, that would bring this story to a very dark turn or to these days or to a post apocalypitc reality... i don't know, these modern stories have affected me.
But give it a try on Super Dinosaur. Robert Kirkman will make your day much more happier with this.

I really liked the twist at the end of volume 1. That's what lead me to follow this series. This has a fun Saturday morning cartoon vibe with just enough mystery to keep me on the hook.

The last time I reviewed this title back when volume one came out I lost either a review follower or someone that had friended me either intentionally or coincidentally unfriended me, I forget exactly which one. I suppose this occurred because he didn't agree with my negative review. This time around I don't have any criticisms because Robert Kirkman didn't use any lame word-play names for his characters like he did in his world building first story arc. The art by Jason Howard and the coloring are as good as ever. I think this title is cranking along nicely and is great all ages fare that isn't dumbed down for adult readers.

The scenes in this volume just felt too disjointed. It felt like every other page was a different scene so no scene ever had the chance to really develop. That's partially an issue with so many plots running concurrently but also just Kirkman's writing style (see Walking Dead). I also lost track of which characters (mostly the bad guys) were in which scene and which side of characters were on (some of the bad guys turn good for a bit).
Still a quick, action-packed read with some good plot development. I have a feeling I'm a little over the age limit for this series, though :)

Derek Dynamo and Super Dinosaur are back! And this time they have to battle Squidious, the evil villain who is currently harbouring the Dyno Men. But other evil lurks in the background, as Derek`s father continues to struggle with his memory. And a new evil is rising to fill the void left by Max Masimus.
This volume is marginally better, as Kirkman relies less on the whizz-bang premise to tell his story and gets down to actual plots. Still, mutant talking dinosaurs using mecha to fight other mutant talking dinosaurs is not my cup of tea.
An OK book.

Seriously?! This is the book that twelve year old me would have written, drawn, read, and/or loved. Possibly sadly, that's still me. Super Dinosaur is a fun all-ages book that doesn't mean its a kids' book. There are plot twists and interesting plot points. Its pretty amazing to me that Robert Kirkman can gross you out in The Walking Dead and then channel his inner child for Super Dinosaur. Overall, just a fun read that shouldn't be overlooked.

This volume gets a little bit darker, as friendships are tested by the new residents of the Dynamo lab. And Derek's father is having issues coming to terms with the damage Maximus did to him, as well as with what happened to his wife. People switch sides and do foolish things. There's still a lot of light and casual humor, but the stakes are being raised. This collection just doesn't spark as much as the first volume did. Still good, but not as good.

Another cheese, over the top fun story but they do throw in a few twists and turns as the world is built up a bit more with some new and pretty cool villains like Squidious. Also some nice reveals with Exile who is probably my favorite villain just from a design standpoint. I really can't wait until the next volume to see where this goes especially as we finally get hints of something really big building.

Super Dinosaur and co have to battle baddies who are trying to get into inner Earth. This is still a lot of fun, and the girl characters get to do something more in this volume. A good read.

This is a great book for getting younger people into comics. No dark, brooding, violent vigilantes here, just dinosaur people, robots, and lasers. Great fun!

Very frenetic, but in a very sound and fury signifying nothing way.
