Dan Abnett and Alessandro Miracolo are teaming for Dejah Thoris versus John Carter that will kick off in July 2021.
“Now that John Carter has returned, is he still the legendary hero they all respect?,” said writer Dan Abnett in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “And are he and his beloved Dejah still working to the same ends? It’s a tale of swords, sorcery, space gods and true love, an interplanetary romance in the true sense of both those words.”
Barsoom has been in crisis, wracked by freak weather seemingly signifying a coming ice age. Matching turbulence has cropped up as conflict between the planet’s many tribes and nations. The Earth-born hero of John Carter was missing. With Dejah Thoris and the help of her allies, stability has been established (for now) and John has been found, only for the true foes to take center stage in this new story.
The Longborn, ancient “space gods” of immense and mysterious power wildly outmatch the citizens of Barsoom. They may even be the original architects of all life in the Solar System, shaping the red planet in their image. Back to reclaim their creations to wipe the slate clean and start over, it is up to Dejah, John, and their allies to take on their biggest threat yet.
Dejah Thoris vs John Carter of Mars #1 is scheduled to arrive in July 2021.
