Mars Attacks Image #2

Jan 1997 · Image · 2.50 USD; 3.45 CAD

In this pulse-pounding second issue of *Mars Attacks*, the Martian invasion reaches a fever pitch across America, with Shadowhawk battling giant ants in New York and the Savage Dragon teaming up with Superpatriot to save Dart and Rapture in Chicago. Meanwhile, in Detroit’s ruined Martian Operations Center, the alien command debates their next move, while the Deadly Duo bicker in the shadows. From the skies over Los Angeles, Freefall leads Gen 13 in a fierce aerial assault, and in Chicago’s makeshift M.A.S.H. unit, Barbaric and Ricochet search for Mighty Man. With Witchblade and the Maxx aiding civilians in New York and Cyberforce’s Stryker coordinating evacuations, the chaos unfolds in real time—each hero facing the Martian threat on their own front. Written by Keith Giffen and Gary Carlson, with bold artwork by Andy Smith and dynamic inks by Bill Sienkiewicz, the cover by Smith and Sienkiewicz captures the war’s escalating intensity.
