Turok (2019-) #1
A new hero rises! Turok pursues his kidnapped brother… in the Badlands of the Old West! In the waning days of the Indian Wars, the U.S. cavalry has captured Andar, but Turok will stop at nothing to rescue him. But that quest will lead Turok, Andar and even the soldiers to a strange, lost land inhabited by creatures beyond their imaginations. This is Turok as you've never seen him before ... and Turok as you've always seen him! Written by acclaimed storyteller Ron Marz (Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Witchblade), with exquisite art by Roberto Castro (Red Sojna, Flash Gordon).

First, Conan, now this? It's going to be a pulp-y 2019, huh?
I picked this up since Marz is on the title, and I generally enjoy his take on Adventure/Fantasy.
The title is simply "Turok", but it's clear it's "The Dinosaur Hunter" and as far as I can tell, it is a new start that just keeps it to its basic origin.
Roberto Castro's art is fine enough. It's what might be in line for the title. There's not a lot in the first issue to show off until the final pages, anyway.
Marz does a decent enough job jumping right into the action, which basically sets up a cliffhanger of introducing the Lost Valley.
Indeed, there are enough pages that it doesn't quite feel like a #0 issue, but it does seem to end just as it's picking up steam.
This is going to probably be a pretty basic Dynamite -style story, with Marz a better choice to tell the story than some. Reading this right after Aaron's Conan probably does it a disservice, but there's enough here I will stick with it.

Good art.. nice storyline ... though issue 1 barely covered any story..

I'll admit a point of the score is because Turok is fondly remembered from my formative years. This is just a #1 issue taste of a new story for the character and I am all in. Enjoyed it tons!

After this first issue, I know Ron Marz is going to do a great series.
This is a really good new after that horror of Turok-Robin Hood I read in another serie of Turok by Dynamite.
