Dejah Thoris #9

Dejah Thoris charges into battle atop a massive, reptilian Martian mount, sword raised high and cape streaming behind her in this striking 2018 Dynamite issue by writer Amy Chu and artist Pasquale Qualano. The cover — rendered by Diego Galindo — captures Barsoom's warrior princess in full golden armor, her battle cry matched by the ferocious, fanged creature beneath her as dust kicks up across the alien plains. It's a vivid reminder of why this series puts the Red Planet's fiercest royal front and center.
