Alien

Aisha Franz's Alien (2011–present) is a German comic series from Reprodukt that, despite its title, is an introspective, surreal exploration of alienation in modern life. Running for a single issue so far, the series is defined entirely by Franz's singular, deadpan visual style and narrative voice. It matters as a distinct, quiet counterpoint to action-driven sci-fi, using the concept of the "alien" to examine emotional distance and urban isolation.
