When the bug-eyed Martian invaders set their sights on Earth, it's the heroes of Image Comics who stand in their way. This December 1996 crossover pits a red-haired heroine in a green-and-white bodysuit against the alien onslaught atop a crumbling city rooftop, while Martian creatures close in from both sides, flying saucers darken a lurid sky, and a cluster of caped and armored figures holds the high ground behind her. Andy Smith's pencils and Bill Sienkiewicz's inks give the chaos a beautifully rough energy — explosions, debris, and swarming saucers filling every corner of the frame.

The Martians launch their invasion of Earth by taking out a satellite and destroying 76.3% of Earth's military. Earth's superheroes begin to notice the attack: Grunge and Caitlan Fairchild see reports on the television in California; Spawn defends his alley friends from giant insects in New York; Savage Dragon and Superpatriot rescue Alex Wilde on the streets of Chicago; and President Clinton calls Jacob Marlowe to ask for the WildC.A.T.S. assistance. The Martians discuss that if they face too much trouble from Earth's heroes they will promise peace if they surrender their superheroes.
