Obvious bias is obvious, I adore this series so much.
”Sadly, that’s one of the things you learn in life… Homes don’t last.”
We’re getting more glimpses of Harry’s backstory which just keeps getting somehow even more tragic. I’m at my wits end, please just let this man be happy!! Leave him alone! He’s built himself an entirely new life with a community who seems to adore him.
Yet the feds are inching closer and closer and I’m so tense just waiting for the shoe to drop where Harry’s currently joy-filled bubble is popped. Really hoping the people he’s been caring for help shield him even a little bit. If just one person is like “lol nah never seen anyone like this” I will be so happy.
The mystery that’s unraveled in this volume is really good, if not also sad. A lot of these seem to hinge on Harry finding out different ways humans struggle in their lives, which are things he unexpectedly finds himself relating to. Unexpected, because his own people held pre-conceived notions of how we act. I like seeing Harry’s growth in understanding not every situation is black and white in terms of who is right or wrong. I appreciate these themes of growth and mutual understanding a lot!
Anyway, loved this as always and will be excitedly grabbing the next volume sometime soon!

Gotta love Doc Harry. His penchant for mysteries has him digging in to one in his own town. And his moral compass is pointing him straight. His past sins might catch up with him, though. I enjoyed the story and the artwork and the connection to one of my favorite writers.

Resident Alien is one of my favorite comics currently coming out. On its surface, it's about an alien hiding in plain sight in small town America. But that's mostly background story. Each story arc focuses on the alien trying to solve a mystery in the community he's become a part of.
This one focuses on an old paperback leading the alien to suspect the author of the book murdered someone years ago, and is still living in the town.
Like the other volumes in the series, it goes in unexpected directions, and every tiny turn is perfect.

Harry finds a briefcase and does some really good detective work.
He realizes that the crime may have been perpetrated by someone in the town, hiding in plain sight.
It's a really cool read, and serves to push the story forward.
