\\nSTEPHEN\\n
UFOlogy #1 (of 6)\\n
Authors: James Tynion IV & Noah J. Yuenkel\\n
Artist: Matthew Fox\\n
What\\u2019s to Love: James Tynion IV has already blown us away with his original series The Woods and Memetic, and now he\\u2019s teaming up with Thrillbent co-writer Noah J. Yuenkel (The House in the Wall) and artist Matthew Fox (Long Walk to Valhalla) to bring us a story about aliens in the Midwest. It\\u2019s reminiscent of films like E.T. and Super 8, and TV shows like Twin Peaks and The X-Files.

\\n\\n

What It Is: Becky Finch never wanted to be special. She just wanted to be a normal high school student in the small, Midwestern town of Mukawgee. Malcolm Chamber wanted something more. A destiny. An answer from the stars. When Becky is marked by an alien\\u2019s touch, she\\u2019ll stumble into a mystery she never wanted. A mystery that almost ripped apart both their parents\\u2019 lives 12 years ago. She\\u2019ll need the help of her eccentric young classmate, Malcolm, as she finds the power within herself to uncover the truth.\\n

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: Secret Convergence Wars\\n
This week we kick off big events for the Big Two: Convergence #0 arrives on April 01 and runs for the next two months, and May sees Marvel\\u2019s big Secret Wars event. Both seem very similar to one another, but I\\u2019m going to guess there\\u2019s more under the hood than what we have lead to believe. Knowing many readers have allegiances to one company over another, we wonder if that means you are more interested in one even over the other.\\n

Once a month she must eat a human brain to keep from losing her memories, but in the process she becomes consumed with the thoughts and personality of the dead person \\u2013 until she eats her next brain. She sets out to fulfi ll the dead person\\u2019s last request, solve a crime or right a wrong.
