Thursday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Galaxian" Conclusion

Wednesday was Christmas, so we're posting this a day late.

It's All Come Down to This...

The Dark Destroyer, has possessed the minds of normally-peaceful aliens and is using them to destroy Scanner One and the crew in interstellar combat.

The Atarians are trying to protect themselves, incapacitate the alien craft,and avoid killing their crews...who have no such compunctions about the humans!
The crew are using a strategy taken directly from the real-world gameplay of the video game this comic was included with...though not without taking heavy damage...

The storyline of the original Atari Force mini-comics concludes with what appears to be a happy ending!

When the sequel series begins publication a year later, 20 years have passed in-universe and a lot of things have happened.

For one thing, The Dark Destroyer survived!

But that's a story for another time...
