John Carter of Mars 1 introduces Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic hero to a new generation of comics readers. Check out our full review here:
✖ The appeal of stories crafted by Edgar Rice Burroughs lives on to this day, with John Carter of Mars #1 revisiting some classic tales. Whenever a new generation of fans think of the name"John Carter," they may recount the decidedly mixed reviews of the 2012 live-action movie from Walt Disney Pictures. However, John Carter rose to fame from Burroughs' timeless novels, which have since been adapted into various comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment.
Starting off with John Carter's"Eternal Reward" helps to give a quick glimpse at how John has established a life for himself on Mars/Barsoom. He has a wife in Dejah Thoris, a young son, and seems to be living the good life. Through unforeseen circumstances, however, John is whisked back to Earth seemingly after his death. The timeline of events comes across a little uneven since we don't know exactly when John died.
A group of Army soldiers summarizes John Carter's life, including serving in the military, his unexplained disappearance, and how it's possibly linked to other missing people, animals, and objects around the globe. Kambadais excels at switching back and forth between the fantastical elements of space and the grounded aspects of Earth.
The unlikely alliance between General Etor and the Green Martians serves to link both of John Carter's home worlds together. The origin behind a powerful severed hand calls for more explanation, but that will assumedly come in future issues. We do learn that the hand is behind the revival of John Carter, so there's at least that nugget of information. Another thing we learn is John Carter possessed superhuman abilities on Mars, given to him by this hand.
Lt. Hines and John Carter share a love for their missing wives, which is what sends the lieutenant on a search for answers at the Carter Mansion. Lt. Hines and his friend Charlie make for competent sidekicks, quickly adapting to the idea of a man returning from the dead and invading aliens roaming the planet. It should be fun to see all three gentlemen on Mars, and how Lt. Hines and Charlie adapt to a new, strange environment.
