"The Lost Hero" - John Carter is back on Earth! Unfortunately, there's also a seemingly-unlimited army of lil' green dudes here, hellbent on killing every woman/man/dog/llama/vegetable in sight. Can our intrepid sci-fi hero get his head wrapped around the madness and strike back, or has he arrived just in time to see his homeworld's destruction? By JEFF PARKER (Aquaman, Future Quest) and DEAN KOTZ (Dungeons & Dragons)!
Warlord of Mars Attacks has it all (almost). The pomposity of John Carter. The unrelenting destruction of the Martians. All the elements (except for scantily clad space princesses) are here in a funny and horrifying mash up that has to be seen to be believed. Read Full Review
I do feel bad that the human cast isn't connecting much but I struggled with a decent chunk of the first book that they really didn't register well. This issue has a lot of fun with destruction across the world and a few political bits here and there that you'd expect. The material with the Martians is a lot more enjoyable this time around as they interact with mankind more and we get a few more touches of their own personalities. Combine that with explaining how John Carter will make an impact in all of this and the connection between the two worlds and it feels like we have a better foundation this time compared to the first issue.
