Warlord of Mars was originally a science fiction novel by author Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is a story of two warring societies on Mars that have a constant conflict for control of the land and the planet itself. The one thing that could possibly bring together these two nations is the marriage between the princess of one society and the prince of the other
The first thing that a reader will notice about this comic is the plethora of covers that are offered for this first issue, all from noticeable artists such as Art Adams, David Finch, and Greg Land. Aside from the great cover art, the interior art is spectacular as well, illustrated by artist Carlos Rafael.
The art style has a classic comic feel to it, with just a touch of reality integrated into the style. The aspect of the art that stands out the most was Rafael’s human form, the characters were very detailed and all had unique characteristics that really enhance the story.
The story itself was well written, written by writer Arvid Nelson, who is best known for his series Rex Mundi. It is very hard to write a story that has both great dialogue and an interesting story. Also, Nelson does a great job at leaving a great cliff hanger, which entices the reader using the purely the art alone and enhancing the story ten fold.
Overall this book was great. It is a 5 part mini series, and it will be really interesting to see how the story unfolds and concludes over the next four issues. It will also be great to see how many different covers will be available for the following issues. This is definitely a series worth checking out.
