Saucer Country #10

Saucer Country #10 wraps up "The Reticulan Candidate" arc with a cover that crackles with political tension — a suited figure thrusts a gun directly at the viewer, flanked by the faces of three other characters rendered in stark red, white, and blue, with an American flag unfurling at the bottom. Writer Paul Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly have crafted a series where UFO mythology and electoral ambition collide, and this February 2013 Vertigo issue promises a conclusion worthy of that unsettling combination. If you've been following the arc, this is the one to track down.
