Hello readers and fans of great comics!  My name is Aaron Lopresti and I am a 30-year veteran of the comic book industry.  You may know me from my work on Marvel's PLANET HULK, X-MEN and MS. MARVEL or DC Comics' WONDER WOMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.  After successfully launching my new independent comic publishing company EMPIRE COMICS, with the hit graphic novel, WRAITH OF GOD and popular sequel, WRAITH OF GOD: BLOOD HUNTERS,  I am back with even MORE!  Despite the success of our line so far, I am determined not to relax but to continue bringing you the very best in comic book entertainment.  I know you won't be disappointed as the LOPRESTI-VERSE of characters and stories continues to grow with KIT CARTER: PLANET DOOM!

-Aaron Lopresti

 

THE STORY

 

Kit Carter is an elite ranger in the Galactic Alliance Freedom Force (GAFF) and along with her partner, Merv the Astro Chimp, she polices the galaxy bringing the most dangerous villains and tyrants to justice.   Lord Menace is the Tyrant King of a dying, monster infested planet, code named Planet Doom.  In a dangerous and desperate move, he acquires the Eye of Ominon and employs its unmatched power to rejuvenate his planet and create forces to conquer the galaxy.  Kit and Merv are dispatched to stop him, but is this the one adversary that even they can't handle?  Find out in this irreverent, space adventure inspired by 1950's sci-fi B movies!
