I’m absolutely over the moon at all the Mars Attacks merch coming out for the series’ 50th anniversary this year. That is except for the Mars Attacks #1 Complete Box Set, which sounds cool as a complete 55-comic set in a cool collectible box for (gulp!) $200.
But as hard as I tried, I couldn’t figure out when a 55-comic set of Mars Attacks comics were ever released. There was a set released in the 1990s that wasn’t nearly 55 issues long and a few comics in the 1980s but that was it. Then I read the details on the Complete Box Set, it’s 55 issues of the SAME #1 issue of the new upcoming Mars Attacks comic with all of the 55 variant covers of all the original Mars Attacks cards.
How lame is that!? Very.
