This March, Dynamite Entertainment will be telling a lost chapter in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Warlord of Mars series of novels. Written by Arvid Nelson, the story will tell the tale of the beautiful and dangerous warrior princess Dejah Thoris. Mr. Nelson was kind enough to answer a few questions about the book for MTV Geek.

MTVGeek: Could you give our readers a brief rundown of Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris?

AN: It’s set 400 years before the original novels take place. So you can’t really consider it a “prequel”, although it involves a lot of characters from Warlord of Mars—Martians live forever, unless they’re killed. The story is about the rise of Helium, Dejah Thoris’s kingdom, how it came to be the greatest on Mars.

MTVGeek: Exactly how does one become a Warlord of Mars?

AN: There are many paths, most if not all of which involve a lot of charred, mangled corpses!

MTVGeek: Tell us a little about the book’s lead, Dejah Thoris—what made her a compelling subject for a Read more...

Matt Wagner, the creator of the classic comic books Mage and Grendel, contributes to expanding the Green Hornet mythos every month with the Dynamite comic Green Hornet: Year One. MTV Geek chatted with Wagner about GH, Kato, and his collaboration with series artist Aaron Campbell.

MTV Geek: For you, what makes the Green Hornet a compelling, relevant character in the crowded superhero landscape?

Matt Wagner: I’m something or an “originalist” in that I really dig the initial “Golden Age” phase of superheroes and pulp heroes, mainly because the intent of their authors was just so raw and undiluted. The aspects that have since become well-established tropes were just unfettered dramatic narratives at that point. Certainly, the Green Hornet qualifies in that category of original characters to define the superhero genre, seeing as how the radio show premiered in 1936, more than a year before first appearance of Superman and several years before Batman who obviously owes quite a bit of his cool vibe to the Hornet’s scenario. The character has had an enduring resonance that’s lasted through several generations of pop culture. He started as a radio drama in the 30s and then branched off into comic books and film serials in the 40s, then starred in a successful and memorable TV show in the 60s and even enjoyed a comic book revival in the 80s. Now, with Dynamite’s expanded legacy-universe approach to the stories and the new film by Michel Gondry, the character certainly seems to be at a real apex of popularity. Read more...

Hot on the news that "Danger Girl" would return to comics in the first-time Dynamite/IDW collaboration "Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness," MTV Geek interviewed writer Andy Hartnell to get the full scoop on one of the most exciting and offbeat mash-ups of the year!

MTV Geek: How did the mash-up between Danger Girl and Army of Darkness come about?

Andy Hartnell: I guess it all started early last year as we began preparing our Danger Girl Deluxe Edition - the oversized hardcover collection of the original series that’s just been released by IDW Publishing. Our plan was to follow that book with several all-new Danger Girl adventures. Somewhere around that same time, Nick Barrucci over at Dynamite Entertainment shot us the idea for a Danger Girl/Army of Darkness crossover event. Kind of a weird and really out-there idea at first, but then it really wound up to be a pretty exciting mix.

Geek: What made the mix of super-spy action and horror-comedy seem like a good fit for you?

Hartnell: Well, you have the character of Abbey Chase, who’s this gorgeous, intelligent, and highly-skilled adventuress, and then you have Ash, who’s really just a bumbling loudmouth who happens to be pretty clever with a chainsaw. So it’s seeing the way these two wildly different characters interact and struggle while trying to accomplish their common goal that’s pretty entertaining. And they’ve both got some experience with tracking down supernatural antiquities, so that helps bring them together as well.

Geek: You've written Ash before in the “Ashes to Ashes” miniseries. How were you able to find the character's voice and still bring something unique to readers?

Hartnell: I really dig how much the character changed while making his way through the Evil Dead trilogy - going from that squeaky, boring and mild-mannered dweeb in Evil Dead to the really wild and wise-cracking badass we all know and love from Army. But now, Ash isn’t leading a bunch of peasants and simpletons into Read more...
