“A Place Called Overkill” The event horizon of a black hole is a bad spot to have your ship break down -- especially if the breakdown isn't an accident. But who wants Barbarella dead? And why have they chosen to bury her so very, very deep?

Earth's star-crossed daughter is back! When Barbarella wanders into a war zone, the theocratic rulers of Parosia arrest and imprison her. A prison break is brewing, but now that she knows what the Parosians do to their own citizens Barbarella decides to make this fight her own...

Barbarella's never ending quest to repair her ship's regulator and be on her way takes a detour to Falladim, where there's a rush on for R.U.S.T.-Radically Unstable Space-Time! The rarest and most valuable stuff in the universe, even Barbarella can't resist its mighty call. But competition brings out the worst in humans and aliens alike, and the Siren of Space is about to see what the worst really is!

Barbarella has been lied to. Worse, she's been weaponized, and someone's going to answer for that, for sure. (Well, assuming she survives the judgement of the Esseverine sun-giants, and an armada of a thousand ships...)

From opposite ends of time, two heroines unite for an otherworldly adventure! Barbarella, the siren of space, meets Dejah Thoris, Princess of Barsoom, and together they must solve a murder mystery that spans time and space in order to find their way home. Leah Williams (Adventure Time Comics, Age of X-Man: X-Tremists) teams with German Garcia (Action Comics, X-men) for a fun, deadly, mind-bending epic!

The Femmes from the Future find themselves on a world entirely covered by oceans. That’s no big deal, what with Earth 70% covered, but for the desert-born Dejah of Mars, some water wings are needed, stat! Really, though, the endless depths are the easy part… it’s the creatures lurking in the unknown that are the real threat, especially the intelligent ones!

Barbarella and Dejah Thoris make their way across the vast, endless waters of the mysterious water planet they find themselves marooned on. But after encountering all manner of never-before-seen creatures, they find there’s not one but two dominant species here…and they’re at war! And if that isn't enough to rattle our heroes, the discovery of just what planet they’re on surely will!

In the final, climactic installment of Barbarella and Dejah Thoris’ adventure together, they must rearrange events of the past in order to figure out their respective ways home! Meddling in an ancient war has consequences, though, and Dejah Thoris must decide if she is willing to pay the price despite knowing how it will impact Mars for thousands of years to come.
