New Comics Day 6/27/12

Hey look, day of comics commentary. Suck it procrastination! Starting with the second issue of Resident Alien. I thought this DHP spin-off would be an ongoing, but it looks like it will only be a 3-issue mini. Four with that zero issue with the collected bits from Dark Horse Presents. With another murder, Harry the Secret Alien looks into local history for a potential suspect. Also the unnamed government forces have found the wreck of his crashed ship. Plus his night nurse looks to suspect there is more to him than is evident. Looks like writer Peter Hogan is trying to cram a bunch of stuff in over a shortened story arc...

Courtney Crumrin and her sort of friend/nemesis run around Goblin Town, meeting up with various and sundry from previous Crumrin forays into the faerie realm. All while being chased by werewolves...

Second to last issue of Scalped. And its the final confrontation between Dash, Red Crow and Catcher. With Agent Nitz and Dino Poor Bear added into the mix as well...

Fatale starts a brand new arc with a prologue featuring the modern-day obsessive Nic Lash. And the start of a 70s story with Hollywood hedonistic cults, B-list actors and doom bringing Josephine...

Savage Dragon is all alien monsters around the world. I think this is the third or fourth time Larsen's actually used global snap shots as part of an invasion story arc. Also, an Ant cameo? Seriously?

And finally Prophet, with Graham doing the art chores as well as the writing. With lots and lots of glimpses and the many and varied gonzo scifi weirdness of the setting. This book is so hard to capture and yet so very cool...
