Warning : contains plunderer forEdge of Spider - Verse # 1 !
DC’sJurassic League , a dinosaur reading of theJustice Leaguethat reimagines the DC superheroes as vicious beasts , pale in comparing to Marvel ’s recently - releasedSpider - Mandinosaur variant . The newEdge of Spider - Verseseries , spearhead by writer Dan Slott , showcases some ofthe most popular Spider - Man variantsin summation to new heroes from across the multiverse . InEdge of Spider - Verse # 1 , one of those heroes is the Amazing Spider - Rex , who single - handedly undermines the entire Jurassic League by leaning in to the transparent ridiculousness of a Tyrannosaurs Rex Spider - Man .
InJurassic League , readers are usher in to supersized dinosaur variants of Earth - Prime ’s most important superheroes : Supersaur , Batsaur , Wonderdon and more . The trio meet one another to break off enemy such as Jokerzard and the Reverse - Slash from round the " small beasts " on the ground : proto - humans who have very little chance at surviving a dinosaur rampage . The Jurassic League series also contains oddities regarding the jurassic nature of the torpedo : Batsaur operates during the daytime , andthe dinosaur Superman was raise by humansbut looks absolutely nothing like them .

Marvel has elected to taste their hand atcreating a dinosaur translation of Spider - ManinEdge of Spider - Verse # 1.In the storySpider - Rex!written by Karla Pacheco with artwork by Pere Perez , Norman Osborn is in hot pursuit of Peter Parker - or rather , " Norrannosaurman " is chasing " Pter Ptarker " - through a dense jungle . The art showcases the T - Rex Osborn chomping on the fender of Ptarker seconds before a meteorite covered with wanderer overhead into the Rex ’s jaw . after that day , Pter Ptarker and Norrannosaurman find they have transubstantiate into different dinosaurs - and are armed with superpower .
The sheer silliness of the dinosaur - superhero is understate inJurassic League , but is on full display inSpider - Rex!The ridiculous name ( Norman Osborn ’s is a standout ) combined with the useable yet funny dialog final result in a story that is wholly in on the antic . It also does n’t outstay its welcome;Jurassic Leagueis quite thin on plot after four issues ( the heroes do n’t even fill each other untilIssue # 2 ) , while Spider - Rex manages torecount Spider - Man ’s full origin storyin just a few page - even the tragic death of " Uncle Bten " and " Aunpt May " and Pter ’s recognition that his own hubris led to a deadly mistake .
Out of the many superheroes - as - other - beings alternate universes in comics ( the Marvel Apes andMarvel Zombies worlds straight off come to mind ) , the dinosaur worlds are the most freaky for both publishers . Unfortunately , Jurassic Leaguelacks transience and thus wit;Spider - Rexknows exactly what it wants to be and tells a prompt succinct story with plenty of humour . Marvel ’s newSpider - Manis just as funny as the erstwhile , while DC ’s dinosaurJustice Leaguelacks the humor of its Marvel counterpart .
