"Countdown to Armageddon" Ninja High School#34 (October 1992) with credits to Ben Dunn/Alan R. Nepomuceno (script) Ben Dunn (art), Clem Robins (letters), and Chris Ulm (editor)
The Invasion is on!
Jeremy, Ichi, and Asrial run into Dog Supreme. Things go great, at least until they take off running and hit him with some throwing stars. By now, Dog Supreme figures they aren't troopers and he definitely isn't a soda from the commissary.
So, our heroes get captured. On Earth, the RX-2 (Not Mazinger Z) finally defeats NOT Gamera with the help of the Super 2 (souped up jet) but when more monsters attack, Zetarobo makes the scene! Which is great, because NOT King Ghidorah shows up!
Leena, meanwhile, flashes back to Ninja High School: Prom Formula and muses on her past failures. She also hates failure. She opts to take a nap. Priest Olmos and General Targon decide this is the best time to stage their coup, right after blasting the now powerless Dog Supreme out of the nearest airlock!
The action moves a bit fast, but this was needed to hurry things along. Actual characterization for Leena besides 'EVIL ALIEN', and a duel attraction to Asrial and Jeremy for the time period was a bold choice.
