Title says it all.

Return to Jurassic Park was cancelled and we never got a real ending, now that the stories are being re-printed in TPBs it'd be nice if one "extra" issue was done by IDW to finish up the storyline that Topps never finished. Jurassic Park /// also never got adapted in comic form, I wouldn't mind seeing that as well.

Now what I really would like to see IDW do is adapt the Novels of Jurassic Park and The Lost World, not the movies but the actual novels which differ quite a bit from the movies that would be great.

Finally I'd love to see stories that take place before and during the first movie. As well as stories that take place directly after the first movie but before The Lost World happens. The toyline and videogames had an interesting take on what happened after the movies with the gang having to protect the island from poachers or rival companies that I preferred over the actual sequel we got years after.

I'd love to see something involving aquatic dinosaur-era reptiles. The only of the old Jurassic park comics I've read are the rcently reprinted ones IDW released, but as far as I know going underwater would be an interesting new direction for the series, and a chance to explore some slightly different animals.

Otherwise I'm ejoying what IDW have done so far, looking at the wider world impact of Jurassic Park. I'd be interested in seeing something set back on the islands at the same time though.

Also if IDW do another Infestation sort of thing at some point, dinosaurs vs vombies vs robots has got to work...

Godzilla shows up at Isla Nubar. Or an INFESTAION crossover with scads of zombified dinos would be the bee knees.

Cool thought! IF the modern oceans are the right range of temperatures and Ingen cobbled up some prehistoric sea beasties, then events might get...INTERESTING!!!!! If the land and sky monsters got loose, then the sea creatures should be able to fly...er, swim the coop too. Shocked

Nominations! Megalodon Kronosaurus Liopleurodon Mosasurus Elasmosaurus Archelon and I am sure there are a bunch of smaller ones that could give rise to new fisheries. Now...how could they have gotten the DNA?

Megalodon and a giant species of Mako shark might be retro-grown from modern lamnaid sharks. But what about the others? If an Archelon or other gigantic sea turtle came ashore to lay eggs, and there were special armor piercing blood suckers, then yes. We must suppose the existence of armor piercing blood suckers anyway to allow the existence of Jurassic Park.

But none of the others I've named were at all likely to come ashore, except when dying or dead--washed up on a beach. Does anyone here know if blood sucking insects feed on dead animals' blood? What about carrion eating beetles?

Mosasaurs, if I remember right, were sea swimming monitor lizards. The ability to retro-fit genes might allow mosasaurs to be resurrected, but are there modern relatives for the plesiosaurs and pliosaurs? Shocked

Personally I'd like a story on the evacuation of Site B. That'd make for a good comic or a good game...

Roland Trembo and Nick Van Owen from THE LOST WORLD:JURASSIC PARK in a one shot featuring the big game hunter beating the snot out of the monkeywrencher for fiddling with his gun in the flick. Dick move Van Owen.

Also an adaptation of the John Sayles/Willaim Monahan script with the crazy arse gun totting dinos to graphic novel form would be cool also. When I saw Sayles, the writer behind some of my favorite creature features, PIRANHA'78, ALLIGATOR, and THE HOWLING, I thought it would be quite good. Too bad it seems some people just want to rewatch the first one again.

Also, with Hasbro doing the figures again for the JP franchise. There's been some speculation that the folks at Hasbro might be dusting off a previously defunct G.I. JOE/JURASSIC PARK line of crossover figures.

With the new JP, a miniseries featuring this concept would be neato.

Nope, not joking.
