Turok Evolution #1 (August 2002) by Acclaim

Known as The Valiant One, Son of Stone, and the Fury of Hope, is a Saquin warrior. He serves as the main character of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok: Evolution. He is the first Turok of the Acclaim video game series timeline.Little is known about Tal'Set's childhood, or his life in general. What is known is that he was born into the Saquin Nation. Tal'Set grew up to be a brave warrior, willing and able to defend his tribe with his life. In November 1886, the Saquin Nation was attacked by Captain Tobias Bruckner and his men, wiping out most of the tribe. Tal'Set would be the last one standing of his people and the one to fight Bruckner. During their scuffle, the two were suddenly transported to the Lost Land after Chief Grey Bear activated an ancient stone with his blood. Shortly after arriving in this strange world, Tal'Set is discovered by the River People and is brought to the seer, Tarkeen. The seer identifies Tal'Set as the legendary Turok. Tarkeen tells Tal'Set that the city of Galyanna is in danger, as the genocidal Lord Tyrannus plans on destroying it. Tyrannus plans to do this by sending his army, led by a colossal beast called the Juggernaut. The army consists of Sleg troops, a race of reptilian humanoids who are hellbent on eradicating humans. Meanwhile, Bruckner, having no other purpose in the Lost Land other than killing Tal'Set, is recruited by Tyrannus to assist in the attack. On his journey, Tal'Set meets up with a woman named Genn, who offers Tal'Set her armed Quetzalcoatlus as a form of transportation across the Lost Land. Tal'Set's first objective given by Tarkeen is to save the River Village's Wise Father, who is being held captive at a Sleg outpost. Tal'Set is able to locate the man but is cornered by Bruckner and his team of Slegs. The River Village's troop leader, Djunn, quickly rescues the pair from the base. Later, Tal'Set journeys to the Suspended City, an area the Slegs are planning to use as a bridge in order to reach Galyanna. This objective is made easy with the help of the city's soldiers at his side. Tal'Set is able to destroy the city, forcing the Slegs to retreat, but not for long. Following the destruction, Tal'Set goes airborne once more and engages in battle with the Juggernaut.Tal'Set manages to weaken the Juggernaut and enters the small fortress atop the beast. He is then able to dispatch many Slegs within and disable the Juggernaut, foiling Tyrannus' plot. The battle for Galyanna is put to an end, and the city stands victorious.
