"Samurai and dinosaurs" review

2012-01-24T18:36:00.000+01:00

I just stumbled on this review of Samurai and dinosaur at ComicsBulletin.com. I could be wrong but I'd say that I've had no news of it. The review is fairly positive (3.5 out of 5 stars) and has some nice words about the art (what can I say, I love compliments).
