New Series, New Mystery, Same Alien Detective – Resident Alien: The Book of Changes

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics continues the sci-fi comic series from the powerhouse duo of writer Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse in the latest installment in their murder mystery series Resident Alien: The Book of Changes. Now a multi-season hit SyFy and USA series, the comics bring Patience, USA and the otherworldly residents of a small town to life. Starting in August 2025, the next arc of Harry’s life begins, and everything is about to change.

Return to Patience, USA, the seemingly sleepy town with numerous mysteries and secrets—and a handful of those are interplanetary! In-hiding alien Harry and his human love Asta, having recently welcomed their child Clover into the world, now host several visitors from Harry’s home planet. Agent Jones returns, and the struggle to keep up appearances may be even more difficult than raising a child, especially if their guests can’t keep a low profile.

Meet the family when Resident Alien: The Book of Changes #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on August 20, 2025, for $4.99.
