Digitally Speaking...29 "Combat Jacks"

via comiXology
Combat Jacks #1 (Banana Tale Press)
From 2013.

No, that's not Catwoman on the cover, and no one trying to impersonate Catwoman is in the comic, either.  So if you think you're going to read this for that, think again.

For the record, that's not why I read it.  It was part of a bundle.

And also, is this for real?  Space pumpkins that turn out to be monsters?  Seriously?  Seriously.  That's what Combat Jacks turns out to be.

A new planet is somehow lodged into our solar system.  A bleak-future-Earth-looking-for-colonization-options sends folks there to live.  Contact is lost.  A military unit is sent in to find out what happened.

And yeah, finds space pumpkins that turn out to be monsters.  Also, the space pumpkins were the defining trait about this planet.  Apparently the only thing the people in this bleak-future-Earth-looking-for-colonization-options does by way of initial research is take pictures and send people there.  

...Some very, very questionable storytelling, folks...But hey!  There's Not Really Catwoman who's not really in it!  Awesome!
