Marz’s enthusiasm for John Carter has been building for lots of years. He says, “This is literally a job I’ve been wanting to do considering that I was twelve years old. I was just the ideal age when I discovered John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, and the wonder of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Mars. It fired my imagination like nearly nothing else. So to finally get a chance to write these characters, to check out that world, is a dream come true for me.”

“We are exceptionally ecstatic about Ron coming on board for this project,” said Nick Barrucci, CEO and publisher of Dynamite Entertainment. “When we originally launched the Warlord of Mars series in 2010, Ron and I ran into each other at a comic convention, and Ron grabbed me by the shoulders and said something to the effect of, ‘How can you launch a John Carter series and not call me to write it?’ It wasn’t a question. It was a statement! As we looked at the potential creators for this series, we instinctively remembered Ron’s passion for the mythos. He is simply the best fit. add in the wonderful art by Abhishek Malsuni and Neeraj Menon, this series will take John Carter to new heights.”
