Saucer Country #1
Paul Cornell (W) Ryan Kelly (A)
Arcadia Alvarado, the leading Democratic candidate for President of the United States, says she was "abducted by aliens."

But then...a lonely road and a nightmarish encounter have left her with terrible, half-glimpsed memories. And now she has to become President. To expose the truth - and maybe, to save the world.
Arcadia's quest is at the heart of this new monthly series from writer Paul Cornell (Demon Knights, Action Comics, Doctor Who) and artist Ryan Kelly (New York Five, Northlanders).
