Our friends over at Topps asked us if we could share this Kickstarter campaign for a new MARS ATTACKS card set.   The good news is the set funded in the first 24 hours of it going live.   The other good new is there is still time for you to support and get in on this cool, historic card set!

MARS ATTACKS IS BACK-ACK-ACK!

The cult favorite sci-fi trading card series returns with an all-new story!

In Mars Attacks: Occupation, we’ll see what happens when a race of hideous alien invaders conquers our world.

New artwork by some of today’s hottest comics and sci-fi illustrators– including Alex Horley, Dan Brereton, Greg Staples, Ed Repka and legendary veteran Bob Larkin– will showcase everything you love about Mars Attacks.  From amazing pulpy art to horrific scenes of alien mayhem, terrifying atrocities, over-the-top madness, and of course a healthy dose of blood and babes!

Take a look at the infographics below and choose your pledge level on the right.  You can buy Mars Attacks: Occupation any way you want it:  a few packs, a complete set, a box of cards, big master set bundle, and unique rewards like the chance to be painted into a card or to create one of the cards with our editors and artists!!   You can also upgrade your pledge with additional boxes, binders or packs of special cards.

So dive in, pick your pledge, and be sure to join me in the comments section to talk about ways we can make it even better.
