It’s a new life for Harry in Resident Alien: The Book of Life

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics, Peter Hogan, and Steve Parkhouse present a new comic series set to begin this summer: Resident Alien: The Book of Life. With story by Hogan and interior art, cover art, color work, and letters by Parkhouse, the newest chapter of Resident Alien, now a multi-season SYFY series, is a four-issue story arc detailing alien detective Harry’s latest adventure.

At the end of Resident Alien: The Book of Love we saw Harry and Asta confronting the fact that they might now be expecting a child. The question now is: what are they going to do about it, and how will it affect their lives? As Asta journeys to the ocean to seek advice from her Aunt Shona, Harry contemplates his future alone, sending a strange and surprising message back to his home planet: “The status for this world has now changed…and you should act accordingly.” 

In this mesmerizing new series, our small-town resident alien-in-hiding Harry Vanderspiegle confronts life and death and love and loss, on the path to an uncertain future. 

Resident Alien: The Book of Life #1 (of 4) will be in comic shops June 26, 2024. It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shop for $4.99.

Resident Alien

SyFy has announced the series pickup of Resident Alien, a comedic drama based on the Dark Horse comics series by co-creators Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. From Universal Content Productions (UCP), in association with Amblin TV and Dark Horse Entertainment, the series was adapted to television by executive producer Chris Sheridan.

Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment, and Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin TV will also executive produce. David Dobkin executive produced and directed the pilot.

Resident Alien is a twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story that follows a crash-landed alien named Harry (Alan Tudyk) who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth — ultimately asking the question, “Are human beings worth saving?”

Tudyk is joined by series regulars Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, and Levi Fiehler. The series will begin production in Vancouver this summer.
