Anyone check out Dark Horse's Falling Skies? This is more of a webcomic than a traditional print comic(though I do have a hard copy of the first issue), but it is of excellent quality.

It is written by longtime Dark Horse cohort, Mark Verheiden (Aliens Vs. Predator, My Name Is Bruce), the series storyboards the harrowing events of an alien invasion, which places Tom Mason, and his three sons, Hal, Ben and Matt in a struggle to survive as they fight back against the aliens.

After the attack, the aliens kidnap Ben. Determined to find his missing son, Tom joins 2nd Mass, a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. However, supplies are running low, and Tom must locate an old friend to equip his team, and ensure the human race will persevere!

I am a big fan of Sci Fi(I read it constantly) and comics and where the two meet semi-realistically is my favorite type of fiction. I work for the marketing team that is covering this campaign for Dark Horse and TNT, and I have a hard copy of issue #1 sitting on my desk as we speak

To check the comic for yourself go to:

Also Fanbolt has a trailer for the upcoming series debuting this summer:

The momentum for the show's debut is definitely ramping up!

Some cool clips from the series have popped up on TNT's Falling Skies site. Apart from the webcomic, it's nice to check out some of the character interactions playing out.

Here's one I like that really illustrates the situation of the series:
