Description
The countdown has begun, and the odds that Barbarella will be able to save the colonists of Alpha Prime are getting longer by the second - especially since she still has to find out where they've all gone! Meanwhile, light years away on Planet Metrafusion, time's also just about up for Jury Quire - and not even Barbarella can be in two places at once! Head timekeeper BLAKE NORTHCOTT (Vampirella, Catwoman, Heavy Metal Magazine) and line judge ANNA MOROZOVA (Judge Dredd, 2000 AD) sound the two-minute warning with Barbarella #5 - backed by covers from cheer squad members JOSEPH MICHAEL LINSNER, ANNIE WU, RICHARD PACE, and RACHEL HOLLON!
