I don't love it as much as I love the TV show (there is virtually no humor to this comic) but, the story is fascinating and the idea original enough - a stranded alien masquerading as a town doctor is engaged in solving local crimes - to keep me entertained. ( )

I love the concept of an alien living a normal-ish life, (almost) undetected, on Earth. The story and art were well done and made for an enjoyable, quick read. ( )

Enjoy! ( )

Martian Manhunter meets "Murder She Wrote" in this small-town murder mystery starring a marooned alien whose vague mental powers allow him to appear to be human to most of the people around him. Aloof and posing as a doctor, he's recruited by the local police to help look over the victim's body in a murder and finds himself getting drawn deeper into the community.

Low-key and low-stakes, it's still a pleasant read if a smidge too cozy for me. ( )

I really really enjoyed this. I have a soft spot for cool alien people though, I guess.

When I really think about it, the mystery plotline itself wasn't that interesting and the resolution wasn't super satisfying. But I don't think the story is ultimately about that. It's about Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle. Who is pretty awesome and kind of adorable and I really can't wait to read more of this. ( )
