Dejah Thoris #2

Dejah Thoris stands fierce and commanding at the center of this stunning cover by Nen, channeling a glowing golden energy while wielding an axe amid a blood-splattered battlefield — two fallen or crouching warriors surround her, and the swirling crimson atmosphere gives the whole image an air of dangerous, otherworldly intensity. Frank J. Barbiere and Francesco Manna continue their 2016 Dynamite series with this second issue, bringing Barsoom's beloved princess into action-charged territory that feels both regal and ruthless. If you're looking for sword-and-planet adventure with striking painted-style artwork, this one makes a compelling case for itself right from the cover.
