This was such a cute and positive sci fi graphic novel! The artwork reminded me of video game style which I loved, and I liked the character building for the alien. Would love to read an extended version of this!

This graphic novel was such a great read! The art was unique and really pleasing but on top of that I found the character of the alien to be so easy to connect to. Just a little baby wanting to learn and belong in a way that we can all feel familiar with. Our little alien is tasked with quietly observing, not being seen or noticed in any way and its curiosity for the family its watching gets the better of it.

We see in this short story how quickly our innocent intentions and unplanned actions cant snowball and spiral in to big problems. But we also see how important it is to always find your way back to doing the right thing; for yourself and for those around you. I hope our little friend finds happiness and can live a life it enjoys for itself.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

This is such a cute and wonderful story. I couldn't stop reading, nor turning the pages. A little life form alien robot visit our planet to collect data for the Big Mother Brain. The little robot is the narrator and she is taking you through all her work details and emotions.
Such a great point of view of collecting data and realizing that no matter how much work you do, there will never be enough and values are always changing as well as growing. Definitely worth making into a film.

This was an excellent observation on the human condition which highlights the most complex human trait of all - interacting with other people. It graciously demonstrated the empathy that outsiders may experience when they actually take the time to walk in someone else's shoes. This is a very enjoyable read for any scifi fan!

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

4,5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was so cute! Exactly the kind of graphic novel that I enjoy reading. The graphics of this book were so pretty. I think I would have liked the character description at the beginning, but I still love it.

To simply summarize it, this book follows an alien that has been sent to earth to collect data on people and report it to its manager. Totally recommend it!

I'm very satisfied with the fact this short comic managed to surprise me! It's about little alien robot researching humans, but also reaches a lot deeper. Despite the length and focus over alien POV, "My Life Among Humans" manages to comment over very down-to-earth relationships. There was a certain amount of warm feeling during reading, a bit of comedy, a bit of seriousness. A perfect mix of everything.

This was super cute, and the art was amazing! The concept is a little spooky, and is explored well, and the ending is satisfying!

An alien has been sent to Earth with the task of stealthily studying humans and reporting the data to its manager. It has no choice so must do as it has been programmed. The first people it meets are Will and his family so it uses its spore technology to learn about human behaviour. However, the spores mean the alien can do more than it thought possible- it can control the humans' minds. Worried about what this will mean for its survival if its manager finds out, the alien begins a well-intentioned but ultimately misguided plan to save itself.

Occasionally a graphic novel comes along that beautifully combines a great premise with compelling writing and a gorgeous art style. It's a difficult feat to accomplish so any that achieves this should be celebrated.

This should be celebrated.

The first element that captivates the reader is the art style. The illustrations are sweet but powerful, using simple shapes to create rich landscapes. Each panel has depth and character, providing an easy-to-follow breakdown of the action.

The story is narrated by the alien, taking the reader through its actions and its motives for doing them. While some of the calamities could be avoided, the reason for them occurring is easily understood because of the insight into the alien's thinking.

It's an easy sci-fi with good characters and a poignant narrative.

A touching and emotive graphic novel: cleverly told and artfully illustrated, I loved the message here and the way it delivered it.
