Comic book set in futuristic setting with reptilian humanoids

Science Fiction & Fantasy Asked on December 31, 2021

The title of this question is the best short description I can think of for this comic book/graphic novel series. I cannot remember the name of it, but for years I have been looking for it. I have tried googling, searching stores, and looking at online lists of comics matching that description.

The characters of the comic book were like reptilian and/or dinosaur humanoids, they were using what looked like modern day or advanced weapons. They were attacking a city/fortress and were also using large dinosaurs as beasts of burden to carry large weapons. This is the most I remember of it when I looked at it when I was younger.

Not to narrow the search in the wrong direction, but I feel like it was a Dark Horse comic. However, I have searched lists of Dark Horse comics to no avail.

I have tried looking through the list of dark horse comics and I have found nothing. It is not Age of Reptiles, Dinosaurs for Hire, or Dino Riders. I will continue looking. The only thing I can really add: The artwork looked modern (2000s) and they were using guns. Sci-fi guns but not laser guns. I really hope someone can help find it!

I scoured this list to try to find answers, but could not find anything. I remember they were using what seemed like ballistic guns but in a bigger sci-fi style. I also remember either large mecha or large dinosaurs carrying artillery. There may have even been a pterodactyl as the evil guy/boss. I had read it online and it was like a small sample or something. There were large beast carrying equipment and/or troop transports being shot at. I remember a few panels where the characters were all crouched in a hallway/alley way trying to get into the compound/city. The artwork was dark and the colors were saturated(?). This is all that I can remember.

I have been searching on a site like this with different filters to find it.

The comics are called Sigil

I randomly came across the Saurians from Marvel. Then came across these Crossgen comics. I scrolled through the collection, and this cover looked very familiar! Sigil #24. Also, Sigil #25 looks very familiar. I think I threw everyone off by saying dinosaurs, but in my defence, they ride dinosaurs!

Now I just need to get my hands on these, and find the exact page I remember looking at...

Could it be the Dino Riders comic, based on the TV Series of the same name?

It features the battle between two species, the good ones (human-like species) who befriend the herbivore dinosaurs and the bad ones (reptilian-like species) who use some brainwashing devices to control the carnivore.

It might be Dinosaurs For Hire. It had humanoid dinosaurs using uzis. They lived in a mansion and eventually attacked Dracula's castle. I don't think they used other dinosaurs to carry weapons, though.
