John Carter finds himself face-to-face with a comely Martian warrior named Thuvia:
While John Carter wonders about his beloved Dejah Thoris, we catch up with her, as she and Sola are about to be attacked by a giant winged beast!
But before the beast can strike, it is reigned in by its master, a man named Dotan. Dotan tells Dejah and Sola to leave, but they say they cannot because their airship is damaged.
Dejah doesn't believe when Dotan says he lives in this desolate spot, but they are stunned when Dotan takes them through a mystical portal to his home, a lush city known as Sorkan. Sadly, Dotan is the lone survivor of the city, it having suffered under numerous attacks by outsiders.
Dotan asks Dejah to stay (wow, that was fast), but she says they cannot. Dotan then offers his winged beast as transport for Dejah back to Helium.

This is the first new artist on the "John Carter" strip since it began in Tarzan, and while some of the anatomy is a little wonky, penciler Sal Amendola brings a nice energy to it, which I think fits well with such an action-heavy story.
