Today is the day: American Mythology's Carson of Venus #1: Fear on Four Worlds should be hitting the stands of The Great Escape in just a couple of hours.
The "#1" is a bit deceptive, as this is a one of one one shot, but I guess that's just how it goes in comic book land. Besides, the good news is that the story will continue in three other one shots: Moon Maid #1, Pellucidar #1, and The Land That Time Forgot #1, so yes indeed, we have a Burroughsverse thang going on.
Have to admit that I'm pretty excited about that.
As for this American Mythology . . . well, it looked a bit shit to me when I spotted the first issue of Pellucidar at the Earth's Core a few weeks back, but I picked it up despite the awful cover, and the script got me past the sub-standard interior art, and I ended up buying it. And enjoyed it enough to want the second issue. Matter of fact, I've caught myself looking for it several times, thinking, "Shouldn't issue 2 be out now?" So good sign there.
Good timing for me as well, since Joe and I have just started reading the last Pellucidar novel and intend to start the Carson of Venus series next. So the more Carson the better.
