Dejah Thoris #2 treads water as it sidetracks the main story with a tale of Dejah and Rroos conflict over a green Martians fate. Its an interlude that could have been told in a few pages, yet takes up the entire issue. Thankfully, theres a slam-bang cliffhanger ending and great artwork that saves the book from mediocrity.

For a "prequel" series, the story feels rather incomplete, and I can't tell what kind of character Dejah Thoris is. At time she seems like a petulant, spoiled child, while othertimes she's relaxed and intelligent. Of course, she could be all of those things, but she just flip-flops so fast that it's not enjoyable.

The art is bad. I've never said that about a comic before. But it's really just awful. Obviously art doesn't need to be phenomenal for a comic to be enjoyable, but it's really, really bad and amateur for such a big publishing company and famous character like Dejah.
