Possibly a riff on Invasion of the Body-Snatchers, or maybe Invaders from Mars.
The story, which I admit I found to be the best thus far, is about a lad named Chet. The whole town thinks he's crackers when he starts going on about the high school principal is really an alien plotting to take over the world.
In the real world, yes, but given this a world with murder clowns and Atlantis, the Titans decide to at least check Chet's story out. Turns out he was right, who knew?
Wonderful art, but the Aliens aren't as alien as they could be. Beautiful use of shadows though.
