Alienated

From 2020, Simon Spurrier and Chris Wildgoose brought Alienated to Boom! Studios, a six-issue series that reimagines the classic coming-of-age story through a lens of cosmic horror and fractured friendship. Three estranged teens discover a mysterious alien entity that offers them connection, but their bond is tested as the creature’s true nature unravels their small-town lives. Wildgoose’s expressive, moody art grounds the otherworldly premise in raw emotion, while Spurrier’s sharp dialogue explores belonging and the monstrous side of adolescence. This concise, character-driven saga stands out for its intimate take on sci-fi, proving that even a limited run can leave a lasting impact.
