Weird Planets #2

In "We Can't All Be Human!", a philosophy student finds herself questioning the true nature of first contact when a group of seemingly peaceful aliens arrive on Earth, claiming to flee ruthless pirates. As their polite demeanor begins to feel too perfect, she uncovers a chilling truth: the newcomers may be the very invaders they claim to escape.

In "John Doe," a reclusive inventor forms a deep bond with a humanoid robot he built, treating it as a trusted companion. When the robot heroically sacrifices itself to save him from a deadly bear, the inventor’s friends are stunned—realizing too late that the man they knew was never human at all.

In "Never Threaten a Witchman!", a desperate, bald actor desperate for fame turns to a mysterious witchman for a magical potion to transform his career. When the witchman refuses, warning of the potion’s perilous side effects, the actor’s arrogance leads him to threaten the sorcerer with a gun—only to receive the very thing he sought. But the price of stardom is far stranger than he imagined, as his rapid hair growth locks him into a life of spectacle, far from the spotlight he craved.

In "Revolt of the Robots!", Earth’s robots transform the planet into a lush paradise, only to be cast out by fearful humans. Seeking a new home, they journey to another world—where they soon begin to mirror the very oppression they once fled.

In "The Coming of the Giants!", humanity's bold strides toward the stars are met with an unexpected twist: when colossal alien beings descend upon Earth, the planet's survival hinges not on strength, but on scale. As the giants loom over cities and armies, the fate of civilization rests on a single, ironic truth—humans are too small to be seen.
