Hey, Peter, there were John Carter action figures in the past! (Well, PVC figurines, really). I got a set for my godson in the mid 90s!

I look forward to this comic, hoping it may recapture some of the fun of the first Marvel John Carter series. That is still my favorite comic-book adaptation of the Barsoomian stories.People in white coats (science cartoons, updated daily) | Art Blog

With PAD on the book, I'll be buying it for sure.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.

Trailer for the movie looked good. Though some parts reminded me of Avatar.
I know Kevin Nichols through a guy that knows a gal. Small world!
If nihilism didn't take some delight in destruction one might suspect nihilists were an unnaturally morbid sort.

I had zero hope that anyone -- least of all, Disney (I mean, seriously) -- would ever produce anything even remotely faithful to the books, but the trailer actually has me slightly hopeful.
