Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians #1
Dark Horse Comics

Story & Art by: Ricardo Delgado

The return of the great thunder lizards is here! In a comic series that has a reputation for being brutal, adventurous and thrilling, Age of Reptiles is one of those rare exceptions where it is nearly impossible for words to describe just how well pieced together this work of art truly is . Taking place in the lands ruled by the dinosaurs where one day Egypt will be, make sure to take your time and fully take in each panel.

The line work of Delgado and coloring of Ryan Hill are simply beautiful. You get a sense right away of the mood of scenes based off the colors being used. The details that make up the dinosaur models, are full of rough edges and strong bold line work. I found myself viewing a page once to read what is unfolding in a story, and then again to fully enjoy each panel for its artwork.

 Ricardo Delgado does an excellent job of storytelling through his artwork and creating a character in the Spinosaurus that I found myself pulling for throughout his adventures, the coloring is a piece of art itself. Ryan Hill’s colors bring this wordless, ancient dinosaur adventure to life. By the end of this first issue, I was excited as I turned the pages feverously trying to read more and more and take in as much of this as possible. I can say that I can’t wait for the next installment.

Born in Boston MA, raised in NH. Fully functioning adult who happens to read any and every comic under the (yellow)sun. Of course there are the favorite comics I must read when they're released, but any comic is fair game in my eyes. Of course my love for pop culture doesn't end with comics, but branches out to movies, toys, video games and most importantly Dungeons and Dragons (which I withheld this last hobby from my Fiancée until she said "Yes"). Point of Origin for my nerdy condition may have been in '93 when I got slimed at Nickelodeon(now closed), and a teenage accident or two(collapsed lungs) landing me in the hospital around the same time the Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies started coming out. When my dad stopped at the local comic store and brought me the essential comics for Spiderman and the X-Men, I stood no chance. (Which also created a secret aspiration to start a fundraiser of sorts to bring comic books to kids in hospitals to keep their spirits up(nothing has come of this to date)) Add in a heavy dose of trip to Disney World, upcoming Disney themed wedding and a career aspiration to become a Disney Imagineer, I think it's safe to say I never want to grow up.
