While the next chapter in Dark Horse’s acclaimed Resident Alien saga doesn’t officially launch until the end of June, the publisher is already planning ahead. SYFY WIRE can exclusively announce that all four issues of Resident Alien Volume 8: The Book of Life will be collected in a single, 96-page paperback publication.
Priced at $19.99, it is currently scheduled to arrive in bookstores on January 28, 2025 before hitting comic shops the following day. Those who prefer to read the story as it’s released can, of course, get their hands on Issue #1 Wednesday, June 26. Written by Peter Hogan and illustrated by Steve Parkhouse, Volume 8 finds Harry and Asta preparing for the impending birth of an interspecies baby.
“It contains more aliens, and more Men in Black,” Hogan told us over email. “The changes referred to will affect not only Harry’s personal life, but also far beyond — because the result of Harry’s presence on Earth has changed the status of our entire planet, which has huge repercussions for its future.”
