Mars Attacks IDW

More silliness from Mars Attacks!  This time, the Martians mash up with story lines from other comics. My favorite had to have been the Martians v. Popeye.  Using old-style Popeye illustrations, we get to see Popeye eating spinach and fighting off the "Marsh-kins."  Classic.  Transformers v. the Martians teams up the Autobots and Decepticons to fight off the Martian invaders.  It's fun to see Megatron and Optimus Prime team up.  The Ghostbusters are at their silliest, fighting the ghosts of the crash landed Martians.  And Kiss comics?  I didn't even know there was such a thing.  Finally, the Martians invade Earth in a Robots v. Zombies episode that didn't do much for me.

Popeye and his dad, getting ready to fight the Martians.

This is definitely one for the Mars Attacks completist, or fans of these other comics who like this sort of mash up.  It's a clever idea, but not one I would want to return to.
