it's a great take on our first contact with visiting aliens. The way it was written, had me flipping through its pages quickly to keep up with the story. As if it'll give away everything on the first issue. This is definitely fun to take in.

Out of this world

I am always a sucker for some galactic fun. Can you imagine finding out aliens are real while dealing with the stress of high school?

Too cartoony for my tastes.
