Swords of Sorrow: Dejah Thoris & Irene Adler

In this three-issue Dynamite Entertainment crossover from 2015, writer Leah Moore teams Dejah Thoris of Barsoom with Irene Adler, the only woman to outwit Sherlock Holmes, for a sword-and-sorcery team-up. Artists Jay Anacleto and Francesco Manna bring their distinct styles to this meeting of pulp and literary heroines, part of the larger Swords of Sorrow event that united female characters across the publisher's line. It’s a brisk, visually striking adventure that pairs two iconic women from very different worlds.
