Mars Attacks: Occupation #1

The Martian invaders have already won — and John McCrea's cover makes that chillingly clear, presenting a weathered propaganda-style card bearing the skull-faced visage of a Martian alongside the stark red command "SUBMIT." Surrounded by a collage of distressed, overlapping panels that evoke a world already overrun, this opening issue of Mars Attacks: Occupation from IDW sets a grim, occupied-Earth tone from the very first glance. With John Layman writing and Andy Kuhn on art, "Aftermath" promises to explore what happens when humanity is no longer fighting for survival — but living under alien rule.
