Dejah Thoris has proclaimed her love for John Carter, but the despicable Warlord of Zodanga has forced her to promise she will marry the Zondangan prince. A Martian woman may not back out of such a pledge, and she may not marry her husband-to-be\\u2019s killer. John Carter will need an army to change things now. If he can help Tars Tarkas seize control of the Tharks, he might have just that \\u2014 but Zodanga\\u2019s not going down without a fight!

Monstrosis #1\\u2028
MONSTERS! Giant monsters to be exact. Big bug-eyed monsters in the grand tradition of Jack Kirby and all of the comics we used to know and love. One of the oddest comics you will ever read, Monstrosis follows our favorite hero Doris Danger as she delves deep into the mystery of the giant monsters that seem to be everywhere.\\n
Written and illustrated by Chris Wisnia, people love Monstrosis and its odd, quirky humor.\\n
