Xenoholics is a funny, quirky, and scary hit for Image Comics, that follows in a long line of quirky and engaging works recently published by a group that has gone from near obscurity after the comic book bust of the mid 1990s to a Vertigo level respected published. Read Full Review

If it were up to me, I'd give it a 3.5. It's better than a 3-star book, but for me, not a 4-star. Since we don't give half-stars anymore, the Whaler's shirt that Kyle wears in the issue is enough to bump it up. Good start to a very interesting series. It's a lot of fun, and I'm really enjoying the concept, characters, and art. However, some of the jokes in the book were just way too over-the-top and frankly, not funny at all. Read Full Review

Xenoholics #1 is a fun book. It's pretty much that simple. It manages to be funny, charming, dark and twisted all at the same time. I don't think the book is going to absolutely wow anyone, but it's a solid introductory issue that dangles an interesting carrot in front of your face to get you back for the second offering.

The main problem that Xenoholics will have though is living up to the promise of the premise. This first issue instantly presents something that I wasnt expecting from the previews and interviews, as a more conventional story already seems to be unfolding. But with just one issue down, I will be picking up the second to see how things develop, just in case Xenoholics has something up its sleeve. Read Full Review

To sum this issue up in one word, fun. Read Full Review

This wasn't a bad comic by any stretch and it'll really hit a sweet spot for some folks. It has a clever concept relating to alien visitation and that isn't a theme that has been pounded into the ground in comics. However, it committed the sin of not being as good as it's marketing. For me, it fell into a “liked it but didn't love it” category, which means that future issues are going to be wait-and-see– and that's the true beauty of digital comics on your iPad, there's no rush.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but in the world of pop culture, the presence of parody is the surest sign that something has wormed its way into the zeitgeist. In the mid to late '90's, that something was the alien abduction genre popularized by The X-Files, the show that spawned countless network TV clones, quite a bit of late night comedy lampooning, and even an episode of The Simpsons. Though the alien craze has long since come and gone, its ripples are still felt from time to time, most recently in Joshua Williamson and Seth Damoose's Xenoholics, the Image Comics series that debuts this Wednesday.
