Alien Warlord Qazolu Conquers Earth: Part 2

Back in Action City, the supervillain X-Eye and his robot henchmen, Buzz and Kirk, began their failed battle to defeat Qazolu and his army. It was during X-Eye’s battle with Qazolu that The Lunar Losers (Paul Ziser, Roncor, Weirdo, and Gar Jong) landed. The Lunar Losers quickly aided X-Eye in his battle against Qazolu and his army. Meanwhile, General J., Cool Fox, Max Storm, Kim Storm, The Skull Slasher and the three sole remaining and badly injured superheroes, Goddiess, Ms. Giant, and Young One were planning their attack on Qazolu and his army. Max Storm came up with their only plan of attack, they must use Qazolu’s own Vermootum Sword against him as that is their only shot at defeating the notorious alien warlord. “Alright, let’s go save Earth,” cried Max Storm. Four hours later, Buzz and Kirk were destroyed with X-Eye badly injured. X-Eye pleaded for his life and begged if he and Qazolu could work together. Qazolu then choked X-Eye slowly to death as The Lunar Losers continued to battle Qazolu’s soldiers alongside Cool Fox, Kim Storm, The Skull Slasher, Goddiess, Ms. Giant, and Young One. All hope seemed lost until Max Storm stabbed Qazolu in the back with the Vermootum Sword. After being stabbed Qazolu fell to his knees and coughed up green alien blood. Max Storm just kept stabbing Qazolu with the Vermootum Sword repeatedly, but the alien warlord would not die. 

When Max tried stabbing Qazolu for what felt like the hundredth time, Qazolu grabbed the sword out of Max’s hand. Qazolu laughed as he broke the Vermootum Sword to pieces. Max then punched Qazolu in the face. Soon Max and Qazolu started fighting each other in an epic brawl for the ages. Max and Qazolu were evenly matched as their fight made the Earth shake and quake. It looks as though are heroes were finally winning this battle, while Max and Qazolu traded blows, The Lunar Losers alongside the heroes of Earth destroyed the remaining soldiers in Qazolu’s army. Max pulled out his rifle during his fight with Qazolu and shot him point blank across his red alien eyes. Qazolu moaned in pain as Max shot Qazolu three more times and then out of nowhere, Goddiess killed Qazolu with his Green Axe as the alien warlord’s reign of terror finally ended. The day is won, as all the citizens of Action City celebrated humanity’s victory over the invading aliens. Three days later, with the aid of The Lunar Losers and the GUF, Action City was rebuilt to its former glory. Max Storm and his family returned home to the suburbs as they returned to civilian life. A memorial was built for the fallen heroes who lost their lives. It was at the unveiling of the memorial when the supervillain, Time Man made an appearance. “Hello Action City, I traveled through time, and I have brought back to life the fallen heroes who died in the invasion. This will be my only good deed for today, either way, by bringing back the fallen heroes. The timeline has been altered. And guess who is sadly also back from the dead….,” said Time Man. As the Earth quaked, Qazolu emerged from out of a portal and started laughing evilly. “I’m back,” yelled Qazolu. But not for long, as Goddiess then killed the returning Qazolu with the now restored Vermootum Sword. “Nah, we’re not doing this again,” said Goddiess. Qazolu is dead once more, but the timeline slightly altered again. With the fallen heroes still alive and peace throughout the universe restored. And so, that is the story of when Qazolu took over Earth only to fail twice at it. Evil shall always fail, as good will always succeed! 

THE END

Alien Warlord Qazolu Conquers Earth: Part 1

It was a hot summer day in Action City when Qazlou's army arrived and began their invasion. The Gifted (Dr. Strong, Dr. Laser, Ms. Giant, Ms. Sonic Scream, and The GreenSpeed) were the first superhero team to meet Alien Warlord Qazolu and his army outside of their headquarters. Qazolu made his presence known as he walked over toward Dr. Strong and grabbed him. Dr. Strong tried to fight back but failed to hurt Qazolu. And in mere seconds, Qazolu snapped Dr. Strong’s neck and killed the leader of The Gifted. Qazolu chuckled and asked, “Is this the strongest being that your planet has to offer?” after Qazolu spoke, Dr. Laser blasted his face with his eye lasers to no avail. Qazolu stroked his non-burnt chin and then snapped his fingers. Right on command, Qazolu’s soldiers shot and killed Dr. Laser and The GreenSpeed. Qazolu laughed even louder as Ms. Giant and Ms. Sonic Scream barely were able to defeat Qazolu’s soldiers. After the long battle, Ms. Giant was injured and her sister, Ms. Sonic Scream was killed in action. Ms. Giant fled the scene because she knew she was outmatched. So it began, hero after hero facing Qazolu and his army only to meet their deaths. Super Dude, slaughtered! Retro Strongman, slaughtered! Mr. Tallenstine, slaughtered! 

Hero after hero meeting their deaths at the hands of the alien warlord Qazolu. Only Goddiess appeared to be evenly matched and even a God took a beating from Qazolu. Elsewhere, General J. and his top agent, Cool Fox, made their way to a small suburban town outside of Action City to the home of retired monster hunter, Max Storm. Max Storm currently works for animal control and lives with his wife Kim, their son Mike, and his brother-in-law, The Skull Slasher. General J. knocked on the door of Max’s home and it was Kim who answered the door. “General, Cool Fox, what now?” asked Kim. “Is Max here?” asked Cool Fox. “Check the garage. What do you want with my husband?” asked Kim. “We need his services, right away, and that’s an order,” said General J. Kim opened the garage door to reveal that Max was working on his motorcycle while The Skull Slasher was having a beer. General J. entered and tapped Max on the shoulder only for Max to shout, “I’m retired, go away,”. Cool Fox sighed and General J. pulled out an alien sword. “Your country needs you. The world needs you Max. We’re not leaving without you,” said General J. Max took the alien sword right out of General J.’s hand and started to examine it. “This is a magical artifact called the Vermootum Sword. It’s the most powerful weapon in the universe. Where did you get it?” asked Max. “We got this sword out of the back of Super Dude’s dead body. We don’t have time for this, are you coming with us or do we need to take you by force?” asked General J. Max looked over at Kim and his young son Mike. Max sighed and walked over to a trunk in the garage. Max grabbed all his weapons and hoped on his motorcycle. Max rode off with General J. and Cool Fox following behind him. Kim pulled out her car keys and then helped Mike get into his car seat. Skull chugged his beer and threw the can away into a recycling bin as he hoped into car with his sister Kim. “We’re going to help Max, aren’t we? The team is back together again?” asked The Skull Slasher. “I saw the news before General J. and Cool Fox came here. Whatever is going on in Action City. We need to be there for Max,” said Kim. Kim started her car and she, Skull, and her son Mike began the two-hour drive to Action City. And little did they know, was that Max Storm might be the only person on Earth who could slay Qazolu once and for all. Because Max Storm is the chosen one, forever and always!

The whole month of August is dedicated to Asterix! All hail Asterix! This counts as the sole review for those who wanted an Asterix review from me! Asterix isn't quite a comic strip! Support your local newspaper and keep reading comics while I go try to get that magical potion for myself. And some IHOP too!









Comic Strip Carl's Comic Strip Reviews: Barney Google and Snuffy Smith

Hello, my name is Comic Strip Carl and I barely review comic strips for a living. Today's review is the classic comic strip Barney Google and Snuffy Smith. Created by Billy DeBeck in 1919, so long before the search engine Google was created. Do you think that the estate of Billy DeBeck gets royalties from Google? Just saying, it be weird if the name of the search engine came from this comic strip that few people have heard of. Three stars out of five! Support your local newspaper and keep reading comics!
