Good message and lots of expressive non-human characters. Very much a "Men In Black" feel to aliens and interaction. Pacing and dialogue lack flow, but get the story across well enough. Left a Checkov's gun un-addressed which is a shame for a one-shot.

Last time I was at my neighborhood library, I learned that there's a whole section of graphic novels! I picked this one at random and it was fine, I guess? I liked Tana Ford's character design for the many different alien creatures. The story itself was a little too heavy-handed (although sometimes it seems like heavy-handed is the only way to get a message like this, about immigration and discrimination, across) and I think suffered from a normal weakness of the comic book format, which is that lots of plot points get glossed over very quickly because you only have a certain number of pages to work with. I was interested in knowing more about some of the side characters, and about the backstory of Future, our lead character, and about this alien war that's brewing without anyone noticing, but we're given only the most cursory details on all of them.

Incredibly empathetic story of immigration. Loved the creative look at alien lifeforms and social issues.

Read all 4 issues of this in one go. It’s terrible that this seems like a totally plausible future based on our current foreign policies.

I was really hoping to love this, but this Is not out and it’s not for me at all. Really don’t like the spores and baby and now we’re fused with a vegimal lol
