Resident Alien

Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse's Resident Alien (2013–present, Dark Horse) follows an extraterrestrial stranded on Earth who hides in plain sight as a small-town doctor. Over its initial eight-issue run, the series quietly blends fish-out-of-water humor with murder-mystery plotting, as its alien protagonist uses his unique perspective to solve human crimes while keeping his true nature secret. This thoughtful, character-driven comic stands out for its gentle tone and clever subversion of the classic alien-invasion story.
