When Dejah Thoris and Tars Tarkas investigate a mysterious gap in the memory of John Carter, Warlord of Barsoom, they find themselves hurled into the interdimensional demiplane of the Worldscape. Caught in a bloody conflict between the Council of Jungle Kings and a Technic League captain from Golarion, Dejah Thoris must use both her scientific knowledge and her keen-edged blade to survive the perils of the Worldscape.

Another Worldscape one-shot that I would comfortably categorize as inessential. Although it is nice to see Dejah Thoris getting a little time in the spotlight and a few lines of dialogue given her treatment in the original few Barsoom books.
(I hate reviewing single issues, but these one-shots were never collected, so what's a gal to do.)
