Dejah Thoris #7

Dynamite's Dejah Thoris #7 puts Barsoom's fierce princess front and center as she's caught in the grip of two hulking, tusked Green Martians, spears bristling all around her in a tense, claustrophobic struggle rendered in a striking monochromatic green palette. Dejah fights back with unmistakable defiance, her expression sharp and unbroken even as the odds press in from above and below. Mike McKone's cover work — pencils and inks both — delivers a vivid sense of physical tension that makes this 2018 Dynamite issue hard to set down.
