Plot
Red Sonja is transported from Hyrkania to Barsoom through a mysterious portal, where she is captured by the enigmatic psychic Shang Tapu. Attempting to read her mind, he reveals to her the conspiracy he is plotting.
Sonja discovers that her muscles are accustomed to a different gravity, and upon arriving on Mars, her strength is superhuman.
Red Sonja speaks with the Jeddak, the emperor of Barsoom, and tells him of the conspiracy. However, she is struck by a spell that turns her to stone.
Thousands of years after Red Sonja's feat, John Carter arrives.
This exciting crossover seamlessly blends the Dynamite universe with that of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
