The store in town didn't get any of their Marvel shipment last week, but I went to my dad's over the weekend and the next town up had one of the books I was looking for. So we'll go with that. Also no new books this week, which is a little strange for a month where there's supposed to be 12 comics I want coming out. Either a lot of stuff is going to be late, or the last two weeks are going to be crazy busy.
Ben gets a call from an old Yancy Street acquaintance about a shimmery thing that's been appearing on his farm recently. The FF investigate and are promptly sucked into a world just like theirs, except everyone's a dinosaur. After a misunderstanding battle, Reed works up a translator and the two sides make peace. Presumably Dinosaur Reed Richards (who appears to be a T-Rex, odd choice for Richards) manages the same on 616-Earth.
Reed figures out the two universes are too similar and are beginning to converge. This will likely destroy both universes, unless a solution can be found. This is sounding suspiciously like Hickman's "incursion" nonsense. A plan is devised, but Doom shows up to interrupt. Dinosaur Dr. Doom. So if you wanted to see Dr. Doom as a giant carnosaur, the last page of this is your comic. Although presumably next issue will be even more your comic, so maybe wait for that to satiate your Dino Doom fix.
North apparently had no interest in using any of the FF's kids, but he had no problem with the Dino FF having their kids around. It seems like they went through the same experience, which mean the Dinosaur Universe is a little ahead, if the 1-year time-shunt is already over for them. I guess on a multiversal scale that isn't a significant difference.
I notice none of the dinosaurs in this comic have feathers. Not even Utahraptor Torch (or whatever you'd call him.) How long do you think it's going to take before feathered dinosaurs penetrate popular culture depictions on a consistent basis?

Is there a version of Devil Dinosaur in the dinosaur reality? Devil Man? With a tiny Moon Compsognathus on his shoulder?
Presumably there's also a Savage Land populated by humans, except for Ka-Zar the Dino-Man.
And Sauron is a dinosaur scientist that turned himself into a man.
I'm thinking too much about this.
These are all important questions that have thus far not been answered by the comic. Hopefully the second part will address them.
Please report back if so!
