Synopsis

The expedition reaches Dragon Island, finding it part of DC's legendary Dinosaur Island continuum. The crew abandons their vessel and fights inland through nesting territorial dinosaurs. Amid the prehistoric chaos, Vandal Savage and his elite army of Dobutsu Ninja ambush the team, capturing Bat Lash and taking the recovered ancient swords to complete a ritual.

Collector Notes

The reveal that Dragon Island is connected to the Dinosaur Island mythology is a clever genre collision, dropping a WWI flying ace and a gunslinger into pure pulp adventure territory. Bat Lash's capture raises the personal stakes and shifts the final issue into outright action-rescue territory.
