TARZAN/JOHN CARTER: WARLORDS OF MARS #3 REVIEW. Jealous much, John? You acting weird!

Written by Bruce Jones. Art by Ricardo Villagran. Cover by Bret Blevins. Tarzan's thoughts blaze with a single thought: find John Carter and kill him! But Tarzan's murderous fixation comes not from within, but instead from the hypnotic powers of the beautiful and deadly Martian assassin Purid-Mos. Should Tarzan succeed in killing the earthman John Carter, he will also destroy his only chance of returning to earth!

That's one classic-style, magazine-format of the '70s style, cover. Worthy!
Spectacular Barsoomian designs all-around. Across two separate artists, even. Very faithfully reproducing and interpreting E.R. Buroughs' imagination. As was done commonly and strongly in the '90s. Gods, I miss the '90s, Marinus. Sure, the Internet wasn't remotely back then what it is now, but still, I miss the '90s. I'd even take back the first few years of the 2000s.
You interrupt with a good point, in a conversation between Tarzan and Carter - how does Tarzan know of the “Nine Rays” of Barsoom, or the solar system? I don't remember you mentioning that coming up in either previous issue when Tarzan was speaking with other characters.
That IS strange choice for coloring, in the panels wherein Tarzan and Dejah are having intimate conversation, to make Tarzan's own body pigmentation so dark, too unnaturally darkened, even accounting for any change in lighting (which itself is demonstrated in a mid-page panel). And then it continues on following pages - what happened to his tan??? I must have missed something, because that begins to look intentional for the rest of the issue.
Atmosphere vegetable, huh? Plant; as in, nuclear power or hydro power.
John Carter calls Tarzan “sir” because that's a signature part of his Southern accent and dialect. In the Disney movie, the lead White Martian (the cultist-like “Therns”) played by Mark Strong even points that out to Carter when he first meets John.
This ending is a bit sloppy with some strange, contradictory behaviour and dialogue by Carter. As though he was possessed. I still find this overall enjoyable. Partly, I coast on the nostalgia. With Dark Horse, in general...maybe that's due to my initial missed opportunities of not reading more DH back then. Yeah, good enough, I'm gonna get some reading in, and you enjoy your weekend, Marinus of Jarsoom.

It's beautifull.
Classic scifi designs. I wish it came back. Me too, Mike. I miss it so much 😥. The word was more balanced and quieter. We have too much information at hand with a push of a button. I watched and old video from the 90's on YT when people were interviewed about the rise of cellphones. Look for this Dutch video: Mobiel bellen in 1998 door Frans Bromet. I believe YT will translate it for you. I wish i could go back. People were way more relaxter then. Allright back to the comment 😂.
True. I haven't mentioned it, because there is no dialogue about that all.
He looks almost like a black man if he hadn't have that white features on his face. really weird decision. Mustve been the Moons of Barsoom blocking the sunlight🤣.
Well it looked like the top of a giant plant 😂.
Really? That's a thing 🤔? Interesting.
That one threw me off. His behaviour was very questionable. Same here. As if as almost every DH comic back then had the same, awesome tone that i'm missing for many years.
You too, Mike of Barssoom!!
