Who was not a fan of the slasher film released in 2006 detailing the exploits of foolish teenagers wanting to cash in on their fandom? C’mon people, Victor Crowley and his exploits are legendary and so are those that will be told within the tales of this book which seeks to pick up where issue zero left off. Just how many of them will actually survive though? Better yet, do any survive at all? Horror at its finest, folks. I am quite sure Adam Green gives his bloody stamp of approval!

Cover Artist(s): Rich Bonk, Andrew Mangum
Publisher: American Mythology
Synopsis: “More terrifying that a hurricane of flying sharks! More bone chilling than an invasion of giant snow scorpions! And more destructive than gargantuan slithering snakes throwing down! Erupting from the very Earth comes an unimaginable threat – giant lava breathing dinosaurs! Some horrors can’t be unseen and the terror of this schlockfest will leave you smoldering. Join the refuges escaping the scorching vengeance of the Volcanosaurus! Trust us, you’ll lava it. ”

Seriously, people. While this tale sounds like it should either be a B-movie in theaters or on the SYFY channel in the sanctity of your own home, Volcanosaurus is a story that is as fiery and horrific as it is simple. Dinosaurs that are inundated with lava to wreak havoc on humanity. What you see is what you get with this hot item, and anyone that is a lover of the monster genre in any format will love this story as well. How does humanity deal with such a smoldering threat anyway? Guess you’ll have to get off your high Krakatoa and find out!
