Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Aftershocks!”, Jurassic Park scientists manage to clone dinosaur DNA found in amber, reproducing dinosaurs in the modern day. Then they make Jurassic Park an island where tourists could view dinosaurs in their native habitat, but the dinosaurs escaped, turning a theme park into a horror show. This series continues the story of Jurassic Park, picking up a few days after the park was evacuated. The dinosaurs had begun to breed, and Doctors Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler went back to find the eggs of the raptors, the most vicious of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, five young raptors had already hatched. Worse, an unknown group had hired a hunter to steal the live specimens for their own means…

Finally in issue #2, “Dark Cargo!”, As the first issue ended, The Hunter had killed the mother Raptor, and was transporting Alan, Ellie, and the five young Raptors to his offshore ship and then to an awaiting cargo plane. Alan and Ellie soon find themselves caged next to the restless caged Raptors while being transported to their new owner in Peru. Alan tires to cry out to a ship’s crew member that, “the Raptors are trying to pick…”  but is sedated before he can finish… “their cage lock.”  Upon awakening Alan and Ellie find their lives in peril once again as the now… escaped Raptors… savagely create carnage throughout the airborne aircraft. Expect a major cliff-hanger at the end … only to be picked up again in the next Jurassic Park mini-series, Raptors Attack.
