John Carter: The End #1

Dynamite's 2017 launch of John Carter: The End opens with a cover by Garry Brown that sets a fittingly epic, melancholy tone — an older, white-haired Carter and a dark-haired warrior woman stand atop a rocky Martian outcropping, their capes swept by an unseen wind beneath a vast, glowing celestial body hanging in a star-scattered sky. The title alone promises something weighty, and the weathered figures silhouetted against that alien horizon suggest a story with real emotional stakes. With Brian Wood and Alex Cox writing and Hayden Sherman on art, "Twilight of the Red Queen" looks to bring a thoughtful, mature edge to one of science fiction's most enduring adventurers.
