Intro to Alien Invasion

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, Stacey's 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 dynamism--mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culture--this 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 you've ever read.… (plus d'informations)

Creepy little blue ladybugs had been smuggled in from Russian soil. They have been kept at Fenton College and have been unleashed. There is an outbreak and some are invaded. This is all about that ordeal.

This is my first time reading a graphic novel. It was kind of fun. Like reading a comic book as a kid. The story was pretty good. Might try another one. ( )

This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Owen King has a slightly twisted sense of humour, but in a really good way.

I enjoyed the basic story, as well as the romantic subplot. The art, while not something that would knock my socks off, suited the narrative and delivered the goods.

Overall, a rude, nasty, and surprisingly sweet story of a gruesome alien invasion. ( )

One would think that as much as I love campy B movies, I would have liked this graphic novel more. Maybe it was the satire? I was pleasantly surprised to see female characters as the leads. ( )
