In Secret Six #27, our despicable protagonists ride into battle on a herd of dinosaurs. Except for Catman, who gets to dress up as Warlord and ride a huge white tiger-thing. Cool! More dino carnage courtesy of Jim Calafiore and colorist Jason Wright. Also, Bane rides a dinosaur on the cover by Daniel Luvis. If you missed it yesterday, check out Calafiore’s dino double spash from Secret Six #25.

Secret Six #25-28 contains a four-part story called “The Reptile Brain.” Written by Gail Simone, “The Reptile Brain” takes place in Skartaris. Skartaris, created by Mike Grell for 1975′s Warlord, is basically the DC Comics version of Marvel’s Savage Land.
Collector’s Guide:
- From Secret Six #27; DC Comics, 2010.
- Reprinted in The Reptile Brain TPB; DC, 2011.
- Available in digital format from Comixology: Secret Six, The Reptile Brain.

You know we loved Calafiore’s Exiles rendition of the Lizard and his dinosaur illustrations for Rex Riders. Let’s enjoy some Calafiore dinosaur art for DC’s Secret Six. Also, Bane fights a griffin. What?!

Just when we thought Jim Calafiore’s Rex Riders illustrations couldn’t look any better, we received this preliminary color version of the opening panel from the Prologue. WOW! Way to make those dinosaurs come alive! That’s a parasaurolophus herd in the clearing, if you’re keeping count, with some pteronadons flying overhead.
Why is it being colored? Well, we’ve been sworn to secrecy by author JP Carlson on the possibilities of Rex Riders’ dominating the universe. Loose lips sink ships – and they might have killed off the dinosaurs 165 million years ago! So sssshhhhhhh……..
Whatever the future holds, we don’t think JP will mind if we share this color artwork with you for now. Enjoy! We sure did!

Rex Riders exploded into bookstores on June 21 like a stampeding herd of triceratops! Did you say you needed aliens with your dinosaurs? No Problem! Bullwhip fights on the frontier? You Got It!
How about a gigantic platform with four carved apatosaurs waiting in a secret cave to teleport you to another planet? A planet of jungle and roaming carnivore packs from our own distant past? Coming right up!
JP Carlson crafted a 430-page adventure just for you. He even throws in a barn infested with giant flesh-eating beetles that fly. If that doesn’t sound like a good time to you, you’re at the wrong web site!
We preview a page of the text below, along with stunning illustrations from Jim Calafiore, and the amygdala-annihilating cover artwork of Fabio Pastori. Today’s cover art bonus includes JP’s bio, too! We share a few more of our favorite Rex Riders moments with you this summer in a Rex Riders Gallery.
