    An epic conclusion to an incredible story, this is the kind of comic which will appeal as much to non-comic readers as long time comic fans. It’s also a story which wouldn’t work in another format, this is comic book storytelling at its absolute best. What’s on display here is a writer at the top of his game, an artist whose talents know no bounds, and a colourist who can bring the incredible art to life. If you’ve read any issue of this series you’ll be picking this comic up, an absolute no brainer. If you’re late to the party hound your local comic shop to get the rest of the series. An absolute must read. Read Full Review

    Raw and bold, this series is the calm before the storm, the storm itself, and the beautiful, empty sky that comes afterward. Wow. Read Full Review

    Alienated # 6 concludes this series from Spurrier, Wildgoose, May and Campbell about not belonging. Just like the series our time here is indeed short. It's important to remember as the title indicates there is a purpose for your presence. If for no other reason than to enjoy the “Aiis Cream”. Read Full Review

    overviewAfter starting off with such promise, Alienated #6 ends the story of the three Sams with a proto-Dark Phoenix style conflict without the emotional payoff, leaving the reader, well… alienated. The series, and writer Simon Spurrier could have benefited from having one or two more issues to end the story with the proper gravity it deserves. Read Full Review

    Man...what started out just kinda meh turned into something surprisingly powerful. This wasn't a perfect series, I definitely had my problems with it, but Spurrier crafted a compelling story here. And I have to give major props to Chris Wildgoose who churned out some absolutely gorgeous art throughout this series.

    A fitting end. I'm stoked that I took a chance on this series, every issue brought the emotions full force and forced the reader self reflect as they encounter ugly truths to human nature.

    *** Reviews the entire series ***

    This was an amazing book by Spurrier, he has been on fire with his work in the Sandman Universe and independents like Alienated. This series, its focus on teenage problems, while it sounds stupid on the outside, how Spurrier handles it with such real emotion and touch, it really helps people understand why people feel, well alienated. This book strives to that conclusion to an extreme degree, but it gets its point across of what power does to people in times of their distress and problems, a commentary on not just teenagers, but everybody especially in this time we live in.

    Three kids, all named Sam in different ways, are attached mentally by this weird alien who has really weird pow more
