"WARLORD OF EARTH": As the Martians use their monster crab machines to destroy society as we know it, John must scour the deepest recesses of his mind, and find the memory of Barsoom (aka Mars!) that will unlock the secret to getting these damn lil' green dudes off our planet! By JEFF PARKER (Aquaman, Future Quest) and DEAN KOTZ (Dungeons & Dragons)!
Warlord of Mars Attacks succeeds on a level I never thought possible. John Carter is alive, vibrant and relevant like never before and the Moonheads are as outrageous as ever. It shouldn't work, but it does, quite well, in fact. Read Full Review
Warlord of Mars Attacks really is an interesting blending of two properties that are not easy to work with. John Carter himself has been problematic in some ways to write for a few years now while the Mars Attacks side is just as limited since you can give them only so much voice. Blending the two does have its moments and there's definitely some good humor in it. I can still hear the Martians voices from the film mixed into all of this and that does help to smooth out some aspects of it. This is a fun issue with a lot of good gags and some great action sequences with the comedy mixed in as only these Martians can do. Parker's got the right idea in general but it's a hard pair of properties to work with. Read Full Review
There are some problems with the art, but strong dialogue and character moments help to overcome them, and the explanation of the crossover works better than it has any right to. Read Full Review
