We knew it was coming, but we didn’t know any specifics. Now, coming out of C2E2 and thanks to a new press release from Dark Horse, we finally have some new information about one of our favorite comics of last year, “Resident Alien.”
Entitled ‘The Suicide Blonde,’ the book reunites Pete Hogan and Steve Parkhouse to tell the continued story of Harry the alien. A four-part mini, we’re given a new mystery as Harry investigates a suicide that is possibly a murder. Not only that, but the feds are hot on his tracks having discovered his covert existence at the tail end of the first volume.
“Resident Alien: the Suicide Blonde” #0 hits shelves August 18th, with a #1 in September. We will assuredly be continuing to cover this wherever we can.
