Ninjavember: Ninja High School#27

  "Three Zetramen and a Baby!" Ninja High School#27 (July 1991) with credits to Steve Ross (script), Ben Dunn (art), Clem Robins (letters), and Chris Ulm (editor)


We open on an alien planet. Dertoza and his sister Leiola have just conquered and enslaved the native population, well, most of them.

A couple managed to escape the roving army of goons. The father readies a spaceship while the mother places their only son in the pod. Saying their goodbyes, they blast the ship towards a place of relative safety.

Yeah, you can see where this is going. 

Detorza blows up the planet, but one of the goons notices the pod flying away. Leiola orders them to follow it, hoping to conquer it on her own and thus prove herself to their father. 

On Earth, Mikey, Howard, and Phrank are heading to a Woody Allen film festival when the pod lands near their jeep. Dertorza and Leiola land shortly thereafter, making their intent to kill the baby then the Earth. This doesn't sit right with the boys and soon the Zetramen are on the case!

Cute; I mean, some of the jokes could be seen from space and yes, Three Men and a Baby is namedropped but not a bad story overall.
