John Carter, Warlord of Mars #10

Dominating this cover from Dynamite's 2015 Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation is a towering green-skinned Thark warrior — tusked, red-eyed, and armored in ornate gold regalia — brandishing both a massive rifle and a curved blade with unmistakable menace against a smoldering Martian sky. Fritz Casas's cover art captures the raw, alien power of Barsoom's fearsome Green Men beautifully, with intricate detailing on the warrior's ceremonial armor that rewards a close look. With Ron Marz and Ian Edginton co-writing and Ariel Medel on interior art, this issue looks like a worthy chapter in one of science fiction's most enduring planetary romance traditions.
