I would like to thank NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I like a good science-fiction adventure with aliens on another planet, so this graphic novel had all the right ingredients for me.

Different artwork, but still good. The story was hard to follow at times, but I think figured most of the weird cutscenes with some effort. However, I still don't get the Tars Tarkus thread and finale (honestly, wth). And I feel like I'm missing some back story with Den being the 'son' or was it great-great-grandson of John and Dejah... more than a little confused about that relationship. He gets called both and Dejah calls him her son and mourns him ~400 years (???)... yet Carthoris and Tara were the only children I know of and this takes place generations after the last graphic novels (or novels) I read. Not sure which JRR Burroughs books or stories this is adapting, if any. I've read the first 6 of the 10. Definitely a bit darker or more apocalyptic then the usual John Carter.
