The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of SAUCER STATE #1 from IDW Publishing. Paul Cornell writes, Ryan Kelly draws, Adam
Guzowski colors, and Simon Bowland letters.
Before she ran for President, Arcadia was abducted by
aliens. This is her secret, and now that she’s in the White House she’s trying
like mad to learn anything she can about UFOs. But in the world of politics,
there are no secrets, at least not for long. And who knows – maybe something
else will push her secret out into the light of day.
Politics is a topic that is much on the minds of readers
these days. And it’s a big part of this story, but it’s not the heart of the
story. Arcadia is not the stereotypical alien abduction victim – she’s
President of the United States, she’s rational, and she knows there’s something
going on. I love how layered this story is, and the art has a realistic feel
that really contrasts the “less realistic” stuff very well.
This is a story that does the political drama well and adds interesting
layers around it. It’ll be cool to see how Madam President handles the
situation.
