The main character is a kid attending school in space (aliens may also attend the school, but I'm not sure).
The main character turns out to be an alien. These aliens are able to copy other lifeforms and transform into them, but they can only copy one thing. However their children are able to transform into the thing they copied as well as copy something else. So if you come from a long line of these aliens you'd be able to transform into many things.
The school is attacked and the principal is killed. At the end it is revealed that the principal was the main characters mother.
I only read the first issue so I'm not sure what happens after that.
Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?
