John Carter, Warlord of Mars #2

This second volume of the 2015 John Carter series collects the conclusion of the Man-Made Monster story arc, pitting John Carter and his allies—including Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, and Woola—against the sinister scientist Ras Thavas and his monstrous creations on Barsoom. Written by Ron Marz, the tale delves into themes of identity and morality as Carter confronts the ethical boundaries of Thavas's experiments. The collection also features appearances by Kantos Kan, Sola, and other familiar faces from Edgar Rice Burroughs's Martian universe.
