Is this 616?

They remembered Ka-zar's son. Should I be worried?

It's always disappointing that Marvel's Jurassic "Tarzan" isn't much more successful.

To be fair, next to Spider-Man, Ka-zar looks kinda tame.

I wish they'd really nail down Savage Land's cast and continuity. Find out who's up there and make sure they always make an appearance. For instance, in Kazar decides to swing down to the river for some fresh water for Shanna, he might see Devil Dinosaur and Moonboy duking it out with Kraven (over a stolen loincloth).

In fact, I'm pretty sure someone is heading to Savage Land soon, and that they'll bump into Kraven...I saw it in a preview somewhere recently.

Anyways, I'm sure there's lots of characters running around in the Savage Land, totally underutilized.

I'd SO read that.

The new Venom has a run in with Kraven soon. That's what you saw in a preview.

I'm psyched for this. I liked the writing in Inhumans, I like the Savage Land, and I hope, hope, hope that Devil Dinosaur makes an appearance!

[I-Ching]

I can't believe that Ka-Zar is forced to wear that sexist outfit! How can Marvel expect him to be taken seriously in those suede hot pants! The sexual objectification of male superheroes is just going too far with this leather fetish jungle role playing ;)

[Rheged]

I'm so mad. How come Ka-Zar gets to keep his traditional half-nekkid costume and Namor gets put in a body condom??? So unfair.

Gorgeous art!

Thanks Marvel for providing those images. I thought the original cover solicited was gorgeous, but since it's Ka-Zar, I thought I'd pass. But, this preview makes it a little more enticing. Decisions.

[Chachi]

This was solicited at $3.99. Glad to see it is going to be a $2.99 book. Like the art.

I agree. I want the Savage Land to be given a larger role in the MU and would love for it to be explored more, especially in terms of the people/beings that live there.

Also, I agree that the art in this looks great. I don't care too much for the way Ka-Zar's face is drawn but everything else from those bird people to the fish people looks great.

Hopefully this will be a good read, and with Skaar getting his own mini taking place in the Savage Land, it almost seems like Marvel is trying to shine more light on the area.

i see his Alixe's style hasn't changed any since his Ultimate X-men issues... I won't be picking this up.
