>Who can best defend against a Martian invasion? A fearless human hero adopted by the red planet, the one and only John Carter! After a lander disturbs the Martian surface, everyone's favorite big-headed sadistic aliens lead a brutal invasion force toward Earth.

>Writer Jeff Parker (Aquaman, James Bond Origin, Batman '66) is joined by artist Dean Kotz (Dungeons & Dragons, Krampus). While Omi Remalante Jr. (Red Sonja, Agent 47: Hitman) and Hassan Ostmane-Elhaou (Red Sonja, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt) provide colors and letters, respectively.
>Dynamite is the home for epic crossovers, treating fans to multiverse spanning epics including Swords of Sorrow and Prophecy. John's darling Dejah Thoris has teamed up with both Vampirella and Barbarella! The crew of Battlestar Galactica met...the crew of Battlestar Galactica.

Dynamite announces "John Carter Vs. Mars Attacks" & Red Sonja origin miniseries for April 2019
>Writer Luke Lieberman (Red Sonja: Doom of the Gods), artist and fellow Sonja all-star Sergio Davila (Conan, Project Superpowers) and colorist Ulises Arreola (Superman, Batgirl) have come together for an early tale of everyone's favorite fiery-haired heroine. This limited series will feature Red Sonja's trademark armor - and her temper. Not yet the legend she will become, but building a fearsome reputation!
>Sonja finds herself against the demon conqueror Raka, whose alchemy turns men into thralls. Luckily her mentor Ozzyus is still kicking at this point. He was last seen toward the beginning of Dynamite's contributions to the Red Sonja mythos in the previous series by Lieberman and Peter David, Red Sonja vs. Thulsa Doom.
>Discussing where Red Sonja is at the start of this story, writer Luke Lieberman said, "This story is about her figuring out what kind of woman she wants to be, what she wants to do with her gift of violence. Sonja is a total badass, but what makes her so compelling and iconic is her humanity. She sees the world for what it is and she is who she is unapologetically. She has already taken the worst Hyboria can dish out, so there is nothing left to fear. Despite this hardness, or perhaps because of it, she recognizes innocence as rare and precious and she will protect it."
>Warlord of Mars Attacks #1 & Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ April 2019 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in June 2019.
looks fun
Damn he is bara as fuck.
this is actually perfect
>sonja has small breast again
no thanks
>John Carter Vs. Mars Attacks
This is the most obvious crossover ever. How did it take so long for this to happen?
this
How about Warlord of Warlord of The Worlds with John Carter vs The Martian Tripods?
whats a good red sonja series to read Yea Forums
None. Her solo comics have consistently been disappointing.
Well, that and Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes.
who is this bara semen demon? 0w0
Didn't they just relaunch her comic a few months ago?
Closest we've come to that is LOEG but we never see him fight the tripods.
Or specifically, we don't see him by himself fight the tripods, but we do see an army that has him, the martians, Gulliver Jones, and others trying to fight off the tripods. But it's pretty brief.
Wow, I thought they couldn't use John Carter or something. Cause I don't remember Dynamite ever having a book by him, it was only ever Dejah Thoris
>Red Sonja & Vampirella are on their way to Riverdale.
unironically looking forward to this
Dynamite is on a roll
every artist, especially cover artists draw them different sizes. But I guess you are right, this artist draws them a little smaller than most, still sexy, and they state classic costume
Mark Russell's current run yes, but I think this one is a mini...or maybe they are willing to run them both at the same time, who knows.
>Wow, I thought they couldn't use John Carter or something. Cause I don't remember Dynamite ever having a book by him, it was only ever Dejah Thoris
No, they can. They got the rights a while back, but before that they were only doing a comic called Warlord of Mars without mentioning John Carter on the cover.
Didn't that already happen?
Yes, "The Greatest Adventure"
My favorite part of John Carter is that the weirdest shit happens in the first chapter before he gets to Mars, like how he is immortal and his inexplicable teleportation.
why not? Afraid to use a man? Maybe they are branching out since they gave The Long Ranger a go and it ended up good
>why not? Afraid to use a man?
Some of the original John Carter books are public domain (at least, the early ones), but the names of all the characters are trademarked by the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs. To work around this, Dynamite never had the name "John Carter" anywhere on their promotional material, and kept it inside the comics (doing the same with their Tarzan series, calling it "Lord of The Jungle"). The Burroughs Estate found out about this and sued Dynamite for Trademark Infringement (not Copyright Infringement). After this, Dynamite made a deal with the Burroughs Estate: they could still continue using the Barsoom and Tarzan characters and publish comics, except now the Estate had to approve everything.

God I hate the Burroughs Estate, they are so fucking scummy. The guys been dead for ages and they still milk everything out and prevent other people from doing good stuff with stuff that should be allowed in public domain
On one hand, I agree with that sentiment, but on the other, they still owned the rights to several John Carter and Tarzan novels that Dynamite could have used characters and concepts from if they had gone to the estate in the first place. Marvel did John Carter and Tarzan 40 years earlier and they didn't have any trouble because they went through the estate.
should should still have the rights to publish and sell all the old books, I'm not denying that and if anyone wants to translate those to comics they should go through the estate. However, he is a public domain character and there is NO REASON to have to ask their permission to use the character or name, that's what the public domain is supposed to mean
