Meet Dejah Thoris – Thousands of Years Before John Carter!

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment has announced a bold all-new vision of the Princess of Mars coming this March! Writer Chuck Brown returns to chronicle an untold chapter set before the events of the first classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

A young princess Dejah has lived a sheltered existence so far, growing up safe behind vast and thick palace walls and guarded by the greatest warriors in the land. That is, until one fateful day that changes the course of her life forever. The entire royal family is attacked by the horrific Kaldane Martians one day. The princess narrowly escapes, but now finds herself in the harsh wilds of Barsoom. She will have no recourse but to strike out on a quest to find her way back and save her kingdom.

Set a few thousand years before Dejah meets the fabled John Carter, fans will get to see her grow and discover herself beyond being a pampered princess. Alongside allies like her former Helium servant and close friend Roo, and a young Green Martian named Hudd, Dejah will hone her skills and become a warrior and champion of her people as well. She will learn more about the diverse peoples and creatures of her world, shedding her preconceived notions that her sheltered education instilled in her. Oh, and watch out for the kangaroo men and man-eating Calot trees too!

Eisner nominated writer Chuck Brown returns to the world of Barsoom, following his series John Carter Of Mars – which is solicited as a graphic novel alongside this new series. He’s joined by stellar artist Emiliana Pinna, colorist Ellie Wright and letterer Jeff Eckleberry.

In addition to Pinna and the rest of the creative team, a who’s who of top talents continue that artistic legacy with the variant covers available on this new series. Lesley “Leirix” Li leads the way, alongside Joseph Michael Linsner, Junggeun Yoon, Rebeca Puebla, Joshua “Sway” Swaby. Cosplayer Rachel Hollon also contributes a cover portraying the character. Young rising artist Jade Hope, daughter of YouTuber Gem Mint Collectibles, also makes her major direct market debut on the first issue!

Dejah Thoris #1 is slated for release in March 2023.

Once Upon a Time… Red Sonja, Vampirella, Dejah Thoris in Fairy Tales

Posted on by

Once upon a time… every hero has journeys that you wouldn’t expect, in far away lands, facing fearsome monsters, being manipulated by envious queens, or stalked through the woods by hungry wolves. This August Dynamite debuts three special one-shots, as their three biggest characters are put in the shoes of classic fables.

Red Sonja stumbles upon a mysterious giant bean stalk, suddenly sprouted from the Earth via magical beans. Atop the imposing climb resides some captivating treasure – oh, and also a giant craving human flesh and bones. The She-Devil With a Sword has never turned down a battle like this before, so readers shouldn’t expect anything less than thrilling action as she overcomes her latest foe. Writer Jordan Clark spins this yarn.

Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of them all? On the planet Barsoom, that would be the one and only Dejah Thoris. Which means the envious queen has struck the Princess of Mars out into the wilderness. Only to make countless friends and allies in her exile, unlike any she’d seen before. Her time will come to return to the queen and lay claim to her rightful throne. Ron Marz returns to the Warlord of Mars mythos following his celebrated 2014 take.

Last but certainly not least, Vampirella gets an extra accessory for her iconic costume, as she rocks a famous red hooded cape. With story by Soo Lee, Vampirella is off to deliver wine and cake to her beloved grandmother. A horrid, fanged beast stalks the woods, hunting easy prey. Little do they know their prospective victim has her very own fangs!

To depict these beloved characters in these classic fairy tale scenarios, editor Nate Cosby has called on three spectacular artists for three covers on each special issue, respectively. Soo Lee, also writing Vampirella, brings her signature style. Lesley “Leirix” Li‘s contributions will have fans dropping their jaws. And they’re rounded out with fan-favorite Sebastian Piriz.

Dynamite Does Homage Covers to Rob Liefeld in September

Posted on by

This September Dynamite and artist Brent Peeples show respect to one of the industry’s most influential figures with a 5-piece set of variant covers homaging Rob Liefeld‘s famous covers!

Artist Brent Peeples brings maximum effort to these covers that mirror some of the most recognizable covers of all time. Brent and Rob have worked together on the smash-hit Major X and other projects together, so there is respect and admiration in these pieces.  

All six of these covers grace Dynamite’s top titles. The Princess of Mars has green martians in her sights, as Dejah Thoris #8 calls back to New Mutants #87, Rob’s second issue on the title. Arguably even more iconic is the 98th issue of that series, which Killing Red Sonja #5‘s cast stepping in for a merc with a mouth. Bettie Page #3 reenacts the pivotal next issue that moved toward a huge shift in Liefeld’s career and the industry as a whole. Vampirella/Red Sonja #11 places those two Women of Dynamite into the iconic image of X-Force #1. The blockbuster second and third issues of that record-breaking series are spotlighted with Red Sonja #19 and Vampirella #14.
