Per a press release from Dark Horse Comics, Resident Alien is returning for a grand finale in the form of Resident Alien: One More for the Road. This new one-shot from series creators Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse will bring the entire Resident Alien saga to a close with a story that turns Harry's entire journey on its head.

The official solicit synopsis for Resident Alien: One More for the Road from Dark Horse Comics reads, "Outside of Patience, USA, former federal agent Jones and the alien representatives from Harry’s home planet are inviting nations beyond the U.S. to work with them in helping Earth join the Circle of Worlds."

"Meanwhile in Patience, Harry covers for Ethan at the clinic, but danger is closing in. Will Harry’s secret finally be revealed? Find out in this one-shot finale, as Hogan and Parkhouse’s hit sci-fi series comes to a close!"

Resident Alien writer and co-creator Peter Hogan discussed what Resident Alien: One More for the Road means for Harry personally, as it calls back to his earliest days on Earth at the outset of the fan-favorite series. "At the very beginning of this story, Harry Vanderspeigle was lying low because he was scared about what might happen to him if he got caught."

"His own race had warned him just how dangerous Earth people could be. Now we're going to find out just how right they were."

Resident Alien began with the original comic book series by Hogan and Parkhouse back in 2012, introducing readers to Hah Re, an alien stranded on Earth in the form of Harry Vanderspiegle, a retired doctor living in the sleepy town of Patience, Washington. In 2021, the series was adapted for a hit television show starring Alan Tudyk, which recently concluded after four seasons on Syfy with a decidedly divisive series finale.

Earlier this month, Dark Horse Comics wrapped up the franchise's latest comic book miniseries, Resident Alien: The Book of Changes. The miniseries followed Harry as he navigated becoming a new parent and trying to keep Earth's governments from giving up the planet's shot at joining the interstellar Circle of Worlds.

Resident Alien: One More for the Road is slated to arrive in comic book stores everywhere on April 15, 2026.
