The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of RESIDENT ALIEN #3 from Dark Horse Comics. Peter Hogan writes, and Steve Parkhouse draws.
The town is still no closer to catching the killer, and
Harry is tracking down a lead of his own, which turns out to be a dud. But as
it turns out, luck is on his side (depending on how you look at it); the killer
shows up at his office and attacks Asta and him. Asta manages to shoot both
Harry and the killer before the cops show up, and the killer is taken into
custody. And Asta shares a secret with Harry…
This issue is the end of the arc, but there is a promise of
more to come. And I’ll be looking forward to it. Harry is an interesting
character, and I’d like to learn more about him, what his mission was and how
he’s managed to adopt Earth as his home. And Patience seems like a nice town
containing good characters, which means it’s well written (because I assume
that was the plan J ). I like the art as well.
This is a nice, simple story that is well executed and very
likable. It doesn’t overextend itself, and that lets the characters build and
develop. It’s a nice change of pace from some of the overblown titles out there
right now. Check it out.
RESIDENT ALIEN #3 is available now at your FLCS or by order from
darkhorse.com.
