An interesting take on the little green men story that doubles as a metaphor for a coming of age story. Overall, interesting enough to warrant further reading. I'll be looking forward to issue #2. Read Full Review

UFOlogy brings weird slipstream fiction to the forefront of modern comics. There's an evident love of Le Fanu and Lovecraft, the more modern works of China Miville and Ray Bradbury, and the surge of pop-culture obsession with the paranormal of cult phenomena in the early 1990s with The X-Files and Twin Peaks. Now there are so many questions to be answered. Why here and why now? I want to believe that there is more out there, so now I want to see the proof in the next five issues. Read Full Review

What could be more awesome than getting a cosmic marking? Getting the abilities that come with it, which is what we’ll probably see next issue. If this is the first time you’re reading about UFOlogy, I urge you to pick up a copy and join me in following a story enthralling to anyone with an imagination. Read Full Review

UFOlogy #1 is a breath of fresh air, standing apart from the gore and grim of many comics with its sense of suspenseful awe. With a designated endpoint and the chance to tell a self-contained story, this book has the potential to become a gem that many look at fondly for years to come. Read Full Review

Although it might be a little too slow burning for some, UFOlogy succeeds in recapturing the magic of E.T. and Close Encounters, and sets up an intriguing conspiracy-themed story in the process. Read Full Review

Bottom line on this one, Boom! does it again. Great art, great writing, great story, with nothing but small complaints. If you're into UFOs or aliens, or maybe you just want to read a story about discovering something bigger then no one else believed it was real, this is a great choice. Pick it up now, and wait patiently for the follow up, which can't come soon enough for me! Read Full Review

Matthew Fox's gorgeous artwork rounds out this solid first issue. As alifelong X-Files fan, I can really get into this one. I'm already lamenting the fact that this is only going to be a six issue series rather than an on-going comic. I just can't wait to see what comes next! Read Full Review

This was a fun first issue for UFOlogy. Even though there wasn't a lot of story laid out in this issue and most of the action happened towards the end, the character development gets you invested. By the end readers will want to know what happens from here. It'll be interesting to see how UFOlogy plays out over the next five issues. This was a good start for UFOlogy but we need more story to truly get hooked. Read Full Review

Sit back, brew a cup of tea, and enjoy this first issue of UFOlogy. Take the time to get to know the characters the team so lovingly created for your entertainment.For those looking for a ton of action in their science fiction, you might have a hard time getting into this book. But if you want something that has heart and a world of potential, you should add UFOlogy to your pull today. I have a feeling this will be a story that builds satisfactorily over time, much like Tynion IV's other great BOOM! book,The Woods. I also have a feeling there will be tears involved at some point with this series. If you're ready to feel a little something in that cavity in your chest, check outUFOlogy#1! Read Full Review

"UFOlogy" #1 is brought down somewhat by its look, but it's carried by Tynion and Yuenkel's characters and setting. Poetically brought to a close by the ending narration, it's a nicely compiled setup overall for the remainder of this six-issue miniseries. Read Full Review

The most impressive thing aboutUFOlogyis how little it needs to be about aliens. There's alien conspiracy stuff to be had; it just all seems very trite and meaningless, an afterthought under the weight of our main characters. It's possible that's just a side effect of being a first issue. As we go on, the aliens will tie more and more into the lives of Becky and Malcolm, and I certainly hope so. As it stands,UFOlogyis a great comic when it focuses on the compelling drama of its small world. I highly recommend. Read Full Review

This book intrigues with its paranormal indie flick feel. Read Full Review

As far as the writing goes, there isnt much direction or plot given to us in this first issue. Yet the readers receive a theme very much on par with weird elements taken from the X-Files, Close Encounters and Ray Bradbury. Its a miniseries so Im curious to see how they keep our attention in such a short span, but for fans of science fiction, this will be an enjoyable read. Read Full Review

The colors are beautiful, however, and really make the book stand out from other titles. The lettering is also distinct, so while the art doesn't completely succeed, it's a nice departure from other books on the shelf. Read Full Review

There’s something here but right now, it’s less than interesting. If you’re committed to the creative team behind this book or you have a genuine interest in full, unrepentant character building this early on, I would suggest you pick it up. If you’re looking for a high octane X-Files, Ex Machinia type thing, you might want to wait and see how other issues turn out. Read Full Review

UFOlogy is fairly competent outing that might just be setting us up with familiar tropes in order to tear them down over the next five issues. Unfortunately, that doesn't make for the most interesting debut. The first issue feels almost extraneous when the synopsis covers almost everything we need to know. But Fox and Metcalfe are an artistic duo to look out for and their work keeps this issue somewhat interesting. Here's hoping that as the plot ramps up, they're able to improve on an already spectacular team-up. Read Full Review

Overall, UFOlogy had a great start. Readers will be intrigued which plays when wondering if you want to buy the second issue. I will be. Read Full Review
