Resident Alien, Volume 1: Welcome to Earth! by Peter Hogan

3.0

Started watching the TV show and saw in the opening titles it was based on a comic book. Got this volume from my library to compare and I have to say... I like the show better. When I see the movie/show first I do tend to like it better vs reading the book first I tend to like that. But as cringy as the show can be sometimes, it's added depth to a lot of the characters and added in more diversity in the cast, deepened Harry's species details and personality, and just given a degree of humor I don't think would be possible in a graphic novel medium. Certainly the Harry in the comic is much more competent at being human, but a lot of the fun of the show is watching Harry being a total idiot. Curious enough to read the second volume but, at the moment, definitely more likely to continue on with the show.
