Arvid Nelson worked on a couple of films after college, ranging from Woody Allen's Small Time Crooks to Troma Productions' The Toxic Avenger Part IV. As much as he enjoyed fetching coffee and sleeping in rat-infested warehouses, he decided to drop out and write comics, and he hasn't looked back.

Ten years later, he's finally delivered the coup de grâce to Rex Mundi, his first published work, as well as Zero Killer, another comic he's been working on for a Really Long Time. He's written for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Dynamite Entertainment.

Arvid lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with a loving wife and a large television. He enjoys lifting weights and writing about himself in the third person. His next big project is a young adult fantasy novel based on his love of Scandinavian and Celtic mythology, and heavy metal music. You can get in touch with him at arvidland.com.

The story and plot is consistent with established Canon, even though previous the the John Carter novels. The art is beautiful and delightfully consistent. I belive all lovers if comic art and Burroughs will find this rewarding. I recommend this collection. Blessings Rev Michael

Good simple fare. But hard to read without J Carter along for the story. Not a bad graphic novel but lacked any emotion or suspense to really get you committed.
Good, simple comic book fair.

On Warlord of Mars: Dejah thoris Volume 1-The Colossus of Mars: I wrote earlier about Dynamites Warlord Lord of Mars John Carter and all the problems it had. In that review I only gave the book three stars. There were so many problems with it and I was very disapointed with it being a ERB fan. I also said they needed to get a different artist. I am still going to purchase Volume 2 when it comes out to see if they can fix the problems it had. I also saw this book when I bought the John Carter Graphic Novel. I read John Carter first. Then this book can in the mail. I was bound and determind to read it.

Now, Warlord of Mars Dejah Thoris is how an ERB's graphic novel should be done! The artwork is increadibly beatiful. When I opened the book I just couldn't put it down the story was great. The art is out of this world. I really hope that Dynamite will keep this series going. It is definately a seller. You have got to get this book if you are a fan of the man! Heck any comic fan should get this book to see how good comics are supposed to be done. Now all the publisher has to do is fix the problems with The John Carter novel and all is good in the world again!

Just doesn't really seem to have much ambition

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Edgar Rice Burroughs and Arvid Nelson should be appealing, and there is a lot of that could be interesting about Dejah Thoris beyond slave-girl aesthetics, but this just doesn't seem to hit the mark.. Nelson's work on Rex Mundi is excellent, so I was somewhat surprised how stilted the dialogue was in the book. Carlos Rafael's art is fairly strong, but almost all female characters look the same as do almost all male characters. Rafael's figure work is good for cheesecake artwork, but it doesn't differentiate itself enough even there. Nelson also doesn't do much with the setting being so much earlier than Burroughs' canonical works. Dejah Thoris is a stronger character here than it Burroughs' work, but even with that caveat, Nelson just doesn't do enough with her. Dynamite's inclusion of the sketch work and alternate covers, however, is a bonus as many of these are strong

The Colossus of Mars

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

Four hundred years prior to John Carter traveling to Mars, Dejah Thoris appears to have been the hero and action star. The storytelling done in these Dynamite Entertainment graphic novels retains the pulp action feel of the original novels and takes the premise of Dejah Thoris as action princess as in the 2012 film. As heroic and commanding as she is, who needs Carter??

The story: The jeddak (king) of Yorn seeks to use the inter-city rivalry between Helium and Zodanga to his advantage to conquer both by the use of an ancient super weapon, the Colossus.
The art: The book has beautiful artwork both for the story and the bonus illustrations throughout. The artist proves that pulp-style art never goes out of fashion if presented right. The heroine does pretty much goes near topless for the entire story but it seems to fit in the overall arc of things.

Rating: 5 stars for both story and art. Any fan of E.R. Burroughs and/or the Warlord of Mars novels will enjoy this action tale.

Warlord of Mars - Dejah Thoris Volumes 1 and 2

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2012

When I ordered the books from Amazon I was very excited for this new media and story telling on the old subject.

When they arrived I saw the most wonderious books with covers that jumped out at me like no comic book could, the artwork is astounding, as with the rest of the books.
As I read them I was reminded of the comic book with a modern day form of artwork that caters for the graphical titillation of people today.

I am a text book reader with the imagination to bring the book to life (with most of the help from the author), where these books, like comics, relies on the graphics to do the work for them. I give the artists much credit to produce this excellent work, which in itself, needs imagination. The extra artwork is a bonus which I also welcome and appreciate.

If there is an artist out there with the talents of Burne Hogarth, step forward and start work. He could depict life in the true sense, and to see someone of his caliber would be a dream come true.

I would recommend these books to the new generation of collectors and old alike, as I will be collecting them myself, knowing that it is the graphics, and not the story that will keep me interested in them. I hope that in a few years they will inspire me to go back and read them again, as the text books have done.

These books deserve 5 out of 5, but I give them 4, as the storyline is less than I expected. To me these books will never hold the same awe as the text books do, but they are excellent books none the less.

Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris Vol 1. is an awesome read. I'm a newcomer to the world of Dejah Thoris and John Carter, so I went into this pretty much blind. The concept, the art and the story is just so much fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also doesn't use a-typical tropes and tired story lines either. Not to mention, it doesn't pull no punches when it comes to the bloody action. And I mean bloody! I loved every second of it! I'm definitely a new fan and can't wait to pick up the other titles. Aliens, fierce battles, engaging stories and a beautiful, red-skinned princess with the luckiest gold pasties and an unyielding warrior? What more could one really ask for?

A fine introduction to Dejah Thoris. I have always been captivated by the artistry, beauty and fantasy regarding the Princess of Mars. The covers to the comic book depict a strong, stunningly beautiful and powerful female lead and the stories inside are well written, full of action and excitement. Very well done and the bonus content at the end is marvelous.

Primo libro (su 7) dedicato totalmente a Dejah Thoris, più giovane (secondo gli standard barsoomiani) e attiva..le vicende partono 400 anni prima dell'arrivo di John Carter..descrivono una Barsoom in perenne conflitto e con risorse scarse..in questo contesto abbiamo l'evoluzione di Dejah da ragazza a donna attraverso avventure e nemici crudeli nella tradizione della syfy epica..buona la veste grafica, stupende le copertine, buona la trama..nota di merito per l'eroe maschile..un simpatico, colto e coraggioso "nerd" di Barsoom..

Beaux graphisme, histoire banale

Reviewed in France on January 11, 2014

Belle édition relié, en anglais. Graphisme de qualité (parfois limite, tout est bon pour montrer Dejah Thoris quasi nue sous tous les angles). L'histoire est classique (attention pas de John Carter, cela se passe qq siècles avant son arrivé), et ne révolutionne pas les aventures de Mars.
Note : c'est en anglais !

Amazing Read

It's as good (if not better) than the Warlord of Mars series. The artwork is some of the best I've seen in a Graphic Novel. If you are a fan of the Warlord of Mars series, this is a must buy. If you had to buy only one, then buy this one.
