After the town's only other physician is murdered, he ends up having to take up the job as town doctor, becoming more involved with the lives of the townspeople and enjoying their newfound company in the process.

Hero Antagonist: So far the worst thing you can say about the government agents is that they're rather cavalier with peoples' privacy. Considering how those sort of characters are usually portrayed in fiction, that's downright saintly. | |

Rhetorical Question Blunder | |
| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_3d038b36 | comment |
Rhetorical Question Blunder: Played with. When Asta's seen in the picture of Harry that shows he's an alien, the government agent in charge of tracking him down talks to one of the agents working under him about how difficult it would be to find her. After all, how many Native girls of the right age could there be in the Pacific Northwest? That wasn't rhetorical. Get a census. | |

Psycho Lesbian: Averted. In the second volume, it turns out that Karen, the ex-girlfriend of Shannon (who had recently killed herself), planted Shannon's suicide note so as not to be suspected as the murderer of her girlfriend. Unfortunately, even though Shannon's suicide was genuine, Karen's actions massively backfired and instead cast even more suspicion on her once the police discovered the note was planted. | |

| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_5b12f598 | comment |
Million to One Chance: About 1 in a million people can see through Harry's disguise, which leaves about 6000 people on Earth total. The chances of Harry finding one are even less likely since he lives in a small town. Unbeknownst to Harry though, there are already three people in town that can see through his disguise — his coworker Asta, her father, and a six-year-old girl named Honey. However, Asta and her dad only see only glimpses or blurs of his real face; Honey seems to be the only one who can see through his disguise completely. | |

Secret Secret-Keeper: By the beginning of The Suicide Blonde Issue #0, both Asta and her dad are aware that Harry is an alien, unbeknownst to Harry. They don't tell him that they know his secret so as not to scare him into fleeing, which would allow the government to track him down. By the third issue of The Man With No Name, they get upgraded to regular Secret Keepers to notify Harry about the upcoming trouble from the government and to try to help him. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The cover◊ to The Sam Hain Mystery Issue #1 as well as the cover for the entire collected third volume both make Harry look like he's suddenly become a James Bond-style 1960s British spy. In actuality, the covers are only tangential references to the 60s spy books that Harry reads that are also involved in that volume's mystery. | |

She Is Not My Girlfriend | |
| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_78410584 | comment |
She Is Not My Girlfriend: When Asta tells her dad about Harry, saying that "there's this guy", he jumps to the conclusion that she's dating Harry. Asta gets flustered and corrects him, as she actually wanted to discuss being able to see through Harry's disguise. Whether or not she actually has romantic feelings for Harry remains unclear. Happens again in issue #2 of The Man With No Name, only to Harry this time. Harry tells Cuthbert that he's meeting Asta and her dad for lunch the next day, Cuthbert assumes that things between Harry and Asta are "getting serious", and Harry becomes flustered and says that he and Asta are Just Friends. Whether he is developing feelings for her also remains unclear. Happens to Harry again later in the same volume when he's talking to Asta's dad, Dan: | |

Monster of the Week | |
| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_e9604359 | comment |
Monster of the Week: The story follows this format, with each mini-series covering a single self-contained mystery. However, there are some overarching plot threads, such as Harry's backstory and his being tracked by the government. | |

Episode Zero: The Beginning | |
| Resident Alien (Comic Book) / int_edeb02ca | comment |
Episode Zero: The Beginning: In an interesting use of this trope and Unusual Chapter Numbers, the first three volumes begins with an issue #0 normally, as if #0 were the actual #1. This idiosyncrasy has been fixed for the fourth volume. | |
