It starts on the planet Neptune. (For some reason, I kept thinking it was Uranus. No jokes, please.)
Neptune is divided into two huge nations, Doria and Obia. Doria and Obia have two things in common: They hate each other, and they want to conquer Earth.
Why Earth in particular?Well, apparently most of the other planets were already conquered by the Neptunians. No joke.
No, I don't think this is a Cold War metaphor, why do you ask?Doria decides to get started, and send out their slightly tanklike retroship fleet...
...and Obia responds in kind with their own rockets.
Doria is confident that their ostensibly superior weapons will carry the day, while Obia is sure that their numbers will turn the tide.But no! A third force will be the deciding factor!
There's something about that ship...
Oh, snap. A "giant" Earth ship. (FYI, there's a real X-50, and it bears no resemblance to this ship at all-in fact, as you might be able to tell from this picture, it's a discontinued unmanned test bed for VTOL technologies.)If I advocated playing drinking games to old weird space comics, this is where I'd tell you to take a shot. (Heck, even this could be considered a weird case of the size weirdness twist ending.)
Anyway, those Neptunians learned their lesson: Don't mess with Earth...
...because you're tiny and easily squashed.You have to love this particular iteration, though, if for no other reason than because the lizardoids of Neptune wore clothes that would not have been out of place in the 1950s on Earth. I mean, it's obvious why...
