Saucer Country #1 - "Run, Part One"

[laughing_tree]

The key thing is that it’s politicians, not the military or some sort of special team, that become involved with UFO mythology, so this isn’t about firefights and a standard “alien invasion.” It’s much more about [UFO] mythology itself, and how that myth has been shaped by, and actually done its part in shaping, America. -- Paul Cornell

I really hope the aliens turn out to be benign.
I've never understood why so many aliens in fiction are portrayed as being just as greedy and brutal as humans. I kind of prefer the idea of them being like Klaatu from The Day The Earth Stood Still, and kind of seeing humans as an immature species, but not being completely malevolent.

I'm wondering how it'll work from the political angle. I think ambiguous will be best.

Also it does depend on where one goes for fiction. Novel SF is more likely to go with benign aliens. TV and movie, more hostile. Comics... something of a mix with friendly space cop aliens helping fight alien invaders every other week.

I loooooooooove this series and I'm so happy to finally have it continuing.

Also, there is a tag called title: saucer country. Feel free to use more for future posts. :)

Holy crap. This might be the first time you and I have had the same opinion about something comic-related.

Whoops, there goes the campaign! the advisors are thinking.

Yep. That's how the next issue begins for one of them. It's pretty hilarious and leads to one of my favorite dialogue scenes in any comic.

So it turns out the US government isn't hiding any elaborate alien conspiracies. If there was then Trump would have Tweeted about it months ago.
