Plot
This story begins in Arizona, USA, in 1866, when John Carter enters a mysterious cave and is transported to Barsoom on the planet Mars, where his physical abilities are enhanced by the difference in gravity and planetary atmosphere.
John Carter quickly becomes a warrior and leader of the Jeddak army and even rescues the beautiful Princess Dejah Thoris.
But since arriving, John has heard that the second Jassomian—the first being Red Sonja—has been trapped for centuries like a stone sculpture. Her actions centuries ago make her the savior of all (Read ALTERED STATES: WARLORDS #1).
The Thern Alliance launches an attack with advanced spacecraft technology, which John barely manages to counter. Everyone knows more+ Like • Comment -
