Dynamite Entertainment has announced that writer Chuck Brown and artist George Kambadais are set to take the reins on a new John Carter of Mars series which will see the worlds of Earth and Barsoom colliding like never before.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of sci-fi and adventure,” states writer Chuck Brown. “Like many of us, as a kid I was obsessed with Mars and the other planets in our solar system. Barsoom has such amazing characters and backstories. So it’s a huge opportunity for George and I to play in this world.”
The year is 1919. A mysterious asteroid composed purely of the substance “Ninth” hurtles toward Earth. Its power miraculously begins to meld and swap the peoples of Earth and Mars. The Warlord of Mars and former Civil War soldier John Carter suddenly finds himself ripped from everything he has come to know and love, pulled back to where he started. One day he’s back in Virginia, but battling Martian apes in his homeland! Then what could possibly be happening back on Barsoom? And as these two worlds deal with this chaos, could their struggles collide?
John Carter of Mars #1 is set to go on sale in April 2022.
