Well, if anyone remembers (I certainly do) a line of JP comic books came
out shortly after JP1 where the raptors got off the island.  This was a
little more in the vein of the book itself, but they explored some of the
parts of the raptor intelligence ideas.  They weren't that great as comic
books (story or art wise) but fun enough for JP afficianados.

Also, did anyone notice that the "birdcage" with the pteranodons is
actually from the original JP book?  I was hoping they'd use that
eventually.  I thought it was one of the more interesting and exciting
parts of the book (though my memory may be failing me...).
