AHC: Save "John Carter"

I think there were several releases of the original stories, everything from one book/one novel to collections of the first three novels in one book. I know there were suddenly quite a few books available after the movie came out, having run across a lot of them in B&N. Not sure if any of them directly noted the movie on the covers though...

I know which ones you are talking about. Some were published by Disney. The only book I know noted the movie was the red covered 'John Carter' book which had the novelization of the movie and 'A Princess of Mars'.

It wasn't official, but an anthology of Barsoom stories entitled Under the Moons of Mars was released at around the same tiem the movie came out. I started a thread on it, including my thoughts in each story, but gave up partway through due to lack of response.

I read that book, tho I think after the movie came out. I reread the first three Barsoom novels after the movie. Can't get enough of it and would love a second book. I thought there were more hits than misses with the storylines.
 
I loved this film. My sole complaint going in was that it was just "John Carter" instead of "John Carter of Mars," but then again the film did manage to vindicate itself at the end when they showed the title card and "of Mars" faded in.

I dunno, when I went to see it, the theater was packed, but of course I recognize that that is hardly a comprehensive study.

I as well.

I'm thinking of necro'ing the thread to finish my review.
