Paul Scheer, of NTSF, The League, and Human Giant fame, wrote his first comic book, and it’s out today. Called Aliens vs. Parker, Scheer co-authored the four issue comic miniseries with Nick Giovannetti, a comedy writer who’s worked for MTV and Adult Swim. Aliens vs. Parker is a comedic sci-fi story that follows a group of slacker video game players, working for a space delivery service, who have to put their video games away to fight for their lives on a mysterious planet. You can pick up the first issue of the digital comic for $3.99 on Comixology right now. Scheer originally conceived of the story as a movie that would have been a humorous take on Alien, but he “quickly realized that Hollywood isn’t really financing $120 million comedies.” I’m assuming the comic book cost less to make than that.
