Resident Alien: The Book of Changes #1

Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse kick off a new four-part Resident Aliens arc with this quietly charming opener from Dark Horse. The cover, signed by Parkhouse, sets a wonderfully low-key scene: a diner waitress jots down an order while seated at the counter are two aliens — one bald and large-eyed in a green shirt, another with pointed ears — alongside a man in a cowboy hat and a capped figure, all blending into everyday small-town life with disarming ease. It's a snapshot of the series' signature appeal: extraterrestrials hiding in plain sight, rendered with warmth and wit rather than menace.
