Questions about this comic
Will the aliens really be studying their quirks?
That's the fun of the hero questions. Share their funny habit, catchphrase and what they know more about than anyone, and the story is written around those details. So the aliens could end up fascinated by their sock collection or their forty-minute coffee ritual.
How spooky is an alien abduction?
Mostly eerie lights and tractor beams, followed by a lot of comedy. It stays fun-scary and PG-13, with no gore and nobody seriously hurt. If they scare easily, mention it in your answers and the story ideas we write keep the creepiness light.
