THEY'RE UP THERE... Meet Arcadia Alvarado, Governor of New Mexico and Presidential hopeful. She's dealing with immigration policy, budget cuts, an alcoholic ex--and she was abducted by aliens. Or was she? Shadowy organizations, hypno-regression therapy, missing Roswell files, a lot to deal with while running for President and in a desperate act, Governor Alvarado seeks help from a disgraced, Harvard UFOologist who... might not be completely sane. It's a strange road to the White House but Alvarado is determined to get there because she has information that could stop an alien invasion and save the world. From the warped minds of writer Paul Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly SAUCER COUNTRY is a gripping story that explores the dirty world of politics while probing for the truth at the core of alien mythology and the American psyche. Collects all 14 issues of the original series.… (más)

I'm likely going to echo what most of the others are saying here, but this was an intriguing story filled with quite a few questions and far less answers (though, not done as successfully as, say, The X-Files managed it).

The story truly is over-long, and with some decent editing could have been cut by quite a bit.

The art is decent. Nothing to write home about, and most of the older white men tend to blur into a single caricature, but mostly passable.

I think the creative team swung for the fences here... I mean, you have a presidential election, with all the politicking and intrigue that goes along with that, as well as multiple alien abductions, a shadowy aerospace company, a shadowy figure known as "The Major" who's motives are still unclear, hallucinated "magical friends" who are the embodiment of the figures on the Pioneer spacecraft, as well as faeries, aliens, Men in Black, and...bunnies.

Even spread across fourteen issues, that's a lot to throw in the pot. So, I think the intrigue and mystery could have been retained and some of the other stuff tossed.

Not bad, but not great. ( )
