Hercules is finally back in Chaos War, and hey, it’s a Marvel series that isn’t launching as part of a cross-over!
Dynamite is bringing John Carter back in a new Warlord of Mars series. This being Dynamite there are four variant covers, three of which have nice beefcake designs. (The fourth is an oddly over-dressed Dejah Thoris.) The best of the bunch, though, is this Joe Jusko cover:
And hey, the interior art for the series is by the criminally under-rated Stephen Sadowski, no stranger to beefcake art himself.
And the first issue is only a dollar.
Torchwood fans still missing Ianto Jones may take comfort in the fact that the third issue of the Torchwood comic reprints the Ianto story written by Gareth David-Lloyd.

Every month I look at the listings for the little lead figurines of DC and Marvel characters, hoping that a character I really like will be listed this month, and almost every month I’m disappointed.
This month, the most beautiful thing in the world is listed for the DC line:
A Detective Chimp little metal statue. I teared up a little, guys.
Gayest Thing in Previews This Month

Thanks for posting about the new Warlord of Mars series, I’m a big ER Burroughs fan, but I wasn’t aware of this before. Also, I agree on Sadowski, and it’s good to see more gay and out creators in the comics industry. I only knew about P. Craig Russell before. Glad to see a more positive installment of this feature. I’ll be honest – I enjoy reading you talk about things you like more than the bile, even if it is funny.
