John Carter is missing…as well as one of Helium’s most
sacred artifacts. The assumption is that Carter took it, but Dejah also found
his blood and believes that he was kidnapped. Dejah disobeys her grandfather’s
wishes and begins her quest to find her husband. Carthoris, John and Dejah’s son, joins in the
search. Several leads are explored, to no avail. Did John steal the artifact
and just where is he? Who is the Red Reaper and does he play a part in this, or
is someone close to our heroes behind this?
Over the course of several titles, Dynamite has turned
Dejah Thoris from the “damsel in distress” into a strong, smart woman capable
of leading her people. Writer Mark Rahner even mentions this in the story by
having her remember the times John Carter saved her and now is the tables have
turned. This is a really strong script
by Rahner brought to life by the beautiful art of Jethro Morales and Salvatore
Aiala Studios’ colors. Interested in seeing where things will go...
DEJAH OF MARS #1 is in stores now, or available for
