Intro to Alien Invasion
Intro to Alien Invasion | Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
In this wildly entertaining collaboration, novelists Owen King and Mark Jude Poirier team up with illustrator Nancy Ahn to present a wickedly funny graphic novel about an alien invasion on a college campus. Stacey, a brilliant, overachieving astrobiology major at Fenton College, had planned on just another lonely Spring Break on campus. But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion. As space insects begin to burrow into students and staff, transforming them into slobbering, babbling monsters, a conglomeration of misfits must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile, Staceys long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes the students worst enemy. Illustrated with enormous wit and dynamismmixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culturethis graphic novel is something different, a large-scale action/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work unlike anything else youve ever read.

I am partial to campus novels, aliens, lesbian pop culture references, and dark humor, so this was fun⭐⭐⭐⭐

Then...after the library, more errands meant I was nearby a small Goodwill store, the top two are from there. Noticed there was a Dollar Tree two doors down; had learned from #Litsy that they have books...and got the bottom four books there! Now I need to hunker down and read 📚📚📚

ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen @KarenUK @Freefallinmissy @merelybookish @TheWordJar @Laura317 @Hooked_on_books @Lakesidemusing I look forward to reading these especially the ones that you all have said you loved. I would never have thought to look at The Dollar Tree for books until it was mentioned on #Litsy. Pleasantly surprised at what I found there book-wise! 7y
Laura317 @ValerieAndBooks What's fun is if you go to different Dollar Tree stores. They have different books or maybe just different ones are left behind. 7y
Betty Had no idea about Dollar Tree 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Laura317 I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for other Dollar Trees -- and what's really fun is that each book is just a dollar 😊! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Betty small section of books, and I'm sure not every time would have such a great selection, but the price is right 😊 7y

A fun romp full of collegiate perils, sex monsters, and aliens. Might be found offensive by those that wear clogs.
