A nameless alien data compiler comes to Earth to study
humans, setting up shop on the outskirts of a small desert community
in North America. Working under forced labor, it must watch humans in
complete secrecy while sending regular reports to its manager back home.
Using spore-like technology to read the minds of his hosts, the alien
quickly takes a special interest in Will, one of his early subjects.
That interest proves to be a problem when the alien is accidentally
revealed to Will's family and it takes desperate measures to save its
own life.
In doing so, it discovers a forbidden ability...it can control human
minds. Now, the alien struggles to keep this secret from its manager,
deal with a growing number of suspicious humans, and come to terms with
its ethically questionable decisions. My Life Among Humans is a
beautifully painted, evocative first graphic novel from illustrator and
cartoonist Jed McGowan.
