John Carter: The End by Alex Cox, Brian Wood

2.0

Different artwork, but still good. The story was hard to follow at times, but I think figured most of the weird cutscenes with some effort. However, I still don't get the Tars Tarkus thread and finale (honestly, wth). And I feel like I'm missing some back story with Den being the 'son' or was it great-great-grandson of John and Dejah... more than a little confused about that relationship. He gets called both and Dejah calls him her son and mourns him ~400 years (???)... yet Carthoris and Tara were the only children I know of and this takes place generations after the last graphic novels (or novels) I read. Not sure which JRR Burroughs books or stories this is adapting, if any. I've read the first 6 of the 10. Definitely a bit darker or more apocalyptic then the usual John Carter.
