Planet Series #1

In "Paradise Acres," real estate developer Jason Jaxon sets his sights on transforming Bubi's swamp into a suburban housing development, but the land has a mind of its own—and its guardian, Bubi, isn’t about to let it go without a fight. When Jaxon’s bulldozers roll in, the swamp itself seems to stir, as Bubi calls upon the hidden creatures that dwell within to defend their home.

In "Mummers from Mercury," Boss Kipley's long-buried plan comes to life when he intercepts alien signals and summons Modo, Master of Mercury—a mud man from the red planet—along with his alien allies: Thrak, the Viper-Man from Venus; one of the Jupiter Jumping Jacks; and a Stone Man from Saturn. Set against the backdrop of a 1952 Mummer's Parade, the arrival of these otherworldly invaders coincides with a bank robbery and a threat to the city's armory, forcing the police to confront both the alien invasion and a human criminal in a single, chaotic night.
