GIANT ATTACK MONSTERS MEGA-BATTLE! pg6
Looks like Area 51 is about as well organized as any fanboy’s basement (believe me…I know). Longtime SCAPULA readers will know that I love to draw in homages to classic horror/sci-fi movies, so enjoy the ‘scavenger hunt’ in the last panel.
…of course, if you love retro-monster goodness, you’ll love the new comic Scapula and the Sinister Monster Doom Legion! The campaign to fund this beastly book is currently live on Kickstarter, so please consider helping out and spreading the word!
oh, teamwork! Ain’t it grand! Not that these guys would know.
Well, I recognized Gort, and the spaceship on the left is doing that ‘I know it but can’t remember it’ thing to me……
The spaceship on the left (the manta ray-lookin’ thing with the antenna) is from War of the Worlds; I never really fell in love with that movie but I don’t object to it being called a classic (I never saw the new one either, but that’s just because Tom Cruise grosses me out more than any alien ever could).
As for Gort, well…nobody has talked to him in a while, so he’s content to just sit there.
Thank you! that was really bugging me! The movie had its’ moments. the new one looks abominable…… and so does the lead actor! *wah wah*
I’m sure Gort appreciates not being bothered with a block of plastic this time around!
Well, I was going to suggest the other spaceship was the one the Thing was building below the shed in ‘The Thing’, but I don’t think it looks patchwork enough. So…. yep, I give up! I’m not up on all my movie classics enough to win this one.
I forget what the other spaceship is from, but I’m guessing it’s Earth vs the Flying Saucers (yes, even I forget my own references).
This is where their top men work on stuff.
Top… men.
I say to hell with the Behemoth and grab that Martian ship. Those things can take a nuking and still keep going!
If the damned thing still works! I’ll let you all share any “car stories” you may have; I can imagine there’s plenty of anecdotes of vehicles which should by all logic work fine but instead go kablooey.
Looks like the Behemoth is disassembled and put in crates which are military standard labelled aka impossible to assemble in the right order.
Yeah, sounds like a government-run facility all right! Chances are the Behemoth has been in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.
I would love to see the chain of logic that ends with that sign being necessary anywhere but south america or a zoo.
looks like their going to need a bigger basket.
With lots and lots of sandwiches to placate the Sinister Monsters (and screw Yogi, that lazy bastard should start packing his own friggin’ meals!).
I’m curious as to how Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds tie in, continuity-wise. Was infiltration their Plan 2 after the brute force approach failed? And what were plans 3-8, given that we already know all about Plan 9?
I’ll leave that debate to the fanzines (I wouldn’t be surprised if ten such articles exist in the decades of Starlog or Fangoria or whatever). I will say that any screw-ups done by the Invaders from Mars was probably due to the big Muppety-mutants and their fuzzy pajamas. They must have been sweating so bad the fur would have soaked up all the fluid and made them very uncomfy. Good thinking, big-brain-midget-cephalopod-thing-in-a-bubble!
Plan 3 involved giant tentacled monsters, but they landed in Japan and blended right into the culture there. I hear they’re happy.
