Chronos Commandos #1 (Titan)

Rating: 5/5 – Time traveling US soldiers vs. Dinosaurs & Nazis!

I am pre-disposed to like this sort of comic from way back when we got soldier vs. dinosaurs in old DC War comics (The War That Time Forgot).  What we get here is more purposeful, we’re in a world where time-traveling US soldiers are going up against time-traveling Nazis in the Cretaceous period where the dinosaurs are just as deadly as the Nazis.

Stuart does a fabulous job here on both writing and art, I loved the dialog when the soldiers are moving towards their objective through the jungle.  Is it WW II era accurate?  I’m not sure, but I loved it anyway.  The art is gorgeous, the dinosaurs and landscapes are beautifully rendered, the colors are lush & really “pop”.  The shocks and surprises at almost every page turn as the body count builds up until the conclusion where we’re left with a great “What’s going to happen next?!?” in the final panel with a cliched but very cool guest star who I hope will be playing a part in upcoming issues.   More, please!
