''Dinocorps'' is a comic book published by AAM-Markosia and written by Andy Briggs and Steve Horvath, with Bob Molesworth as the illustrator.

While working on a scienge project for high school, Carl Vega discovers a cave buried beneath a mine near his home town. As he investigates the surroundings, he finds a series of strange devices and cryogenic chambers, which all contain talking combat dinosaurs who used to be part of an ancient civilization that has been extinct for millions of years. Carl decides to keep the dinosaurs, known as the Dinocorps, hidden from sight, unaware that the nefarious Saurons and their leader, Jarek, have also awaken.

Once Jarek and the Saurons make their prescence known, the Dinocorps realizes they plan on deploying a weapon that will cause TheEndOFTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. It's up to Carl and his new reptilian friends to stop Jarek before the human race is driven to extinction.

!!''Dinocorps'' provides examples of:

* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: While in Nevada, the Saurons are confronted by a biker gang known as the Angels. A massive shootout erupts moments later.
* BigBad: Jarek, the leader of the Saurons who wants to kill off all the humans. He's also responsible for destroying the race of dinosaurs Rex and his team used to be a part of.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Rex]]. After his first encounter with the Saurons, [[spoiler:he's crushed by a falling building, but is later found alive beneath all the rubble]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Carl is first seen daydreaming about dinosaurs in the middle of geology class, and he later foregoes attending a party with his best friend so he can work on his science project.
* FantasticRacism: Jarek. He and the other Saurons consider themselves to be "True-Bloods," and that the other dinosaurs are not worthy and deserve to be eradicated. He feels the same way about mammals in general; Jarek wastes no time plotting to destroy the world a second time just to kill every human being on the planet.
* GoryDiscretionShot: After the Saurons kidnap Winston, they stop at a diner and are seen munching on a human corpse. The body isn't shown, but one of the Saurons isn't shy to brandish a severed arm in Winston's face.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Subverted. Jarek is the sole survivor of the battle in Las Vegas. But the last page reveals that there are other Saurons in cryogenic sleep...]]
* LeaveNoWitnesses: When Jarek orders his team to look for the Annihilation Trigger as stealthily as possible, a police car shows up. He doesn't hesitate to kill the cops inside to conceal his identity from the humans.
* LeftHanging: The comic ends with [[spoiler:Jarek still alive, and the revelation that there are more Saurons in cryogenic sleep]].
* SoMuchForStealth: After Jarek tells his troops to look for the Annihilation Trigger stealthily, he's immediately spotted by some police officers. Jarek kills them by ''blowing up their car with a rocket''. [[SubvertedTrope Somehow no one else noticed this]].
* SymbolSwearing: After Carl says that the Saurons waking up is bad, this happens.
--> '''Dirk''': "Bad?! You S#A*! humans!"
* TemptingFate: After Rex explains his backstory to Carl, he tells him he can afford to wait to find a place to fit in with his world, since there aren't any threats for the Dinocorps to worry about. Jarek must've heard him, because he wakes up from cryogenic sleep ''on the very next page''.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Icks and Bliz, the two small Sauron brothers who search for the Trigger and carry out the attack on Winston's house.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Buzz]] gets the least amount of screentime and lines out of any of the dinosaurs in the Dinocorps before he's abruptly killed.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Jarek doesn't care about [[spoiler:Winston]], but keeps him alive because he needs him until the Extinction protocol for the weapon engages. [[spoiler:After it does, Jarek throws Winston off a building]].
