Sci-fi Novel Unveiled: Jock's Graphic depiction in Invader
Rewritten Article:
Alien invasion tales, from Independence Day to Arrival, have been a staple in pop culture. But most of these stories are told from the human perspective, labeling the aliens as the villains. Feeling the peculiar thrill of invasion from another world is all too human, and it's something that's yet to be fully explored... until now. In the comic world, a fresh narrative is on the horizon, turning the lens on the invaders themselves. Presenting Invader, an illustrated novel coming soon from the creative minds of Jock, Brian DeLeeuw, and Adam Egypt Mortimer, the geniuses behind Daniel Isn't Real.
Invader flips the premise of traditional alien invasion narratives, offering a gripping story narrated from the alien perspective. When crystalline aliens crash-land on Earth, they wreak havoc, absorbing anything in their path. However, one snatched body harbors a more complex consciousness than the rest, sparking a frantic, cross-species war between humans, aliens, and the human-alien hybrid. Illustrations for this tantalizing tale are brought to life by none other than Jock, who has graced us with his artistry on The Losers, Batman, Wytches, and various film projects like Dredd, Ex Machina, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
