review:
'John Carter: The End' by Brian Wood and Alex Cox with art by Hayden Sherman is about an aged John Carter, but the story and art are equally a bit of a mess.

Centuries have passed (apparently John Carter has surpassed human aging), and John is living with Dejah Thoris on a moon. They mourn the loss of their son, but John has a secret: he's still alive. This exiled son has started an uprising on Mars and John and Dejah are called to quell it. Can these two aged warriors possibly save Mars?

The story is kind of hard to follow and relies more on narrative than action. The art is frenetic and chaotic, but that seems in keeping with the story. The rough nature makes it a bit hard at time to distinguish characters. I like the idea of this graphic novel better than the execution.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
