The weekly event of the year starts on the second day of the year! Mars Attacks Martians invade five different IDW timelines and universes this month, starting with their assault on Sweethaven. How can Popeye, Alice the Goon, the Sea Hag the rest of the one-eyed sailor’s friends and foes possibly contend with this threat from beyond the stars?
This issue certainly caters to fans of both franchises, but if you've ever been curious out either of them, now's a perfect time to check out Mars Attacks and Popeye. Also worth keeping an eye out for are the variant covers.

This is the perfect way to kick off the Mars Attacks crossover. Powell and Beatty craft a near perfect Popeye story, plus it has the addition of Mars Attack to put it over the top.
