review:
Dejah Thoris is the princess of Mars from the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. In this graphic novel, Dejah and her people of Helium and the green skinned monstrous looking Thark race have come to a truce. It is a time of peace and Dejah and John Carter are getting ready to celebrate. On a peacekeeping tour, Dejah is kidnapped by Voro, a Thark bent on a gruesome goal.
Voro is a butcher. Rather than any reward or ransom he thinks he could get, his plans are to sell parts of Dejah to the highest bidder for them to eat. He already has captured a number of Helium women and they are in various states of harm. Can Dejah escape this monster and get back to John Carter? Can this shaky truce withstand such horror?
I've read a previous Dejah Thoris graphic novel, and while it was good, this one was much better. You get to see Dejah as a warrior and she is in a pretty horrific predicament. If you've read the books then the familiar characters are here, and you know the state of dress, or rather undress, that the people of Barsoom are in. There is a cover gallery that features alternate and more risque covers. I like what Dynamite has done with this series and would like to read more.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
