Until next time faithful readers.Player Character roster for Jason E.R.’s “ Barsoomian Adventures: the Tenth Ray of Mars” ( Tē-sis ē Bâr-süm) pulp planetary romance miniseries, using Savage Worlds, as of spring 2013: Let's hope the next issue delivers what fans of ERB and Dynamite expect. I've enjoyed the first three issue but this one feels just to anti-climactic and suffers too much from not enough action or tension that should be there. I just hope he gets to show what he's capable of in the next issue when he finally gets to the big fight between Carter and Tarzan. Even the promised air battle is cut short when Khen reveals his super weapon, leaving Carter without much to do except surrender without a fight (after talking about how he loves the thrill of combat) and Kantos to invoke the "tits of Issus." Did he ever see Issus because that's the one body part I wouldn't want to invoke (Dejah on the other hand.)Įven the usual reliable artwork by Roberto Castro is limited to mostly people standing around talking or explaining things or creeping around with little action and somewhat dull and indistinct backgrounds. Now I don't mind setup but you know maybe it's time to get the action moving. So after all the setup we finally get to the big duel-and have to wait another issue. Meanwhile Jane discovers the treachery at work and attempts to warn Tarzan but is captured before she can, leaving Tarzan to come face to face with the Warlord of Mars in a game to the death. After making short work of the fleet Carter and Kantos are captured and set for the arena. With his fleet landing outside the Fortress-Temples of the Holy Therns, John Carter and Kantos Kan find no welcoming committee but a defiant Jagati Khen and his new weapon-a mass repulsor based on the Eighth Ray that powers the airships of Barsoom. After three issues of setup, John Carter and Tarzan finally meet! Well sort of.
