Dynamite and Paizo have put together a new comics series, Pathfinder: Worldscape, that will take the characters from the popular role playing game and crossing them over with classic Edgar Rice Burrough's characters John Carter, Tars Tarkas and Tarzan, Robert E. Howard's Red Sonja and Frank Frazetta's Thun'da.

The Worldscape beckons in a tale written by Erik Mona and illustrated by Jonathan Lau. The first issue features covers by Reilly Brown and Ben Caldwell, with a special subscription variant by Sean Izaakse that serves as a homage to the fan-favorite cover of Crisis on Infinite Earths #7. An Ultra-Limited variant edition by Tom Mandrake will also be available.

As an added bonus, each issue of Pathfinder: Worldscape contains a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game appendix that provides official game statistics for the greatest warriors of Hyboria, Barsoom, Golarion, and Earth, bringing characters like Red Sonja and John Carter into gaming continuity. Also, an original bonus tactical map will be bound into each issue, presented at the standard 1 inch = 5 feet tactical scale suitable for gaming miniatures.

Pathfinder: Worldscape #1 will be solicited in the August 2016 Previews catalog and slated for release in October.
