Alienated by Simon Spurrier
3.0

Don't get me wrong, the artwork is GORGEOUS, and there was a lot of potential for the plot to go beyond alien falls into the lap of Sam x3 (in a more cosmically sinister way), but this wasn't particularly my favorite. Samuel is the complete embodiment of an annoying teenage edgelord and kind of ruins the whole story with his 'I NEED to be heard because I AM the voice of the revolution' white savior attitude. I'm happy at least Samantha got a happy ending, even though I was heartbroken over Samir's story as well. I think this could've benefitted from having a few more issues to flesh out the story more.

Another thing is that I really don't like reading stutters (but that's a personal preference).
