  While Taylor Kitsch has been talking about a possible sequel to Disney’s John Carter, Marvel is taking John back to Mars in a new 5 part comic book series. Sam Humphries and Ramon Perez are the creative team on John Carter: The Gods of Mars.

This new series takes John back to Barsoom in the world created by the great Edgar Rice Burroughs. Marvel gave Comics Newsarama a first look at the several pages. I wanted to share this cool page of the hero using the enhanced powers. Like Superman is powered by the yellow sun, John’s body gets powers from Mars.

Here’s an earlier post with Humphries talking about how this series picks up a decade after events in the movie.

Here’s the Comics Newsarama link to see the entire gallery.
