Ok so, several years ago, if memory serves between 2012 and 2015, I was at a Wal Mart and I read these two graphic novels--by which I mean, comic book-style...books I guess but with complete stories not issue 1 issue 2 kind of things. I can describe both in fairly good detail so I hope this helps.
One was science-fiction, the other was also a kind of sci-fi but it was closer to a thriller, more like the story "And Then There Were None..." than like Star Wars.
The straight out sci-fi one was about these two brothers who end up somehow in space, with this young girl who has some kind of otherworldly powers like telepathic or spiritual. If memory serves one of the brothers was younger than the other, and one was the same age as and love interest to the girl. They also mention that their father was some kind of fighter pilot for a group of interstellar soldiers or warriors, a la Luke Skywalker. In fact if I didn't know better, and wasn't such a huge Star Wars fan so I know their comics like the Bible, I would have sworn it was some sort of reboot or sequel to the Original Trilogy.
Anyway, the trio was being pursued by this alien warlord, who I know for a fact was described as basically being the ruler of this alien army akin to the Locust Horde from Gears of War--and by "akin" I mean almost identical in appearance and nature. They had an aesthetic where there were tons of red lights and red metal on all of their stuff, and the good guys including the main trio all wore blue stuff and had blue lights and blue energy powers.
The alien warlord was said to have been born from some mystical or metaphysical event, which may have also given the alien girl, who I think was a princess, her powers. In the end of the story the heroes get saved by their father and a bunch of the alien good guys showing up in a massive fleet and battling it out with the bad aliens. There is a fight outside of a spacecraft in power armor and the alien warlord is dead.
An aside, I recall the alien ships, the good guy ones, being shaped like rectangles or blocks of blue and silver with engines at the rear.
The other graphic novel was more of a locked room mystery which wasn't, until the end, obviously science fiction.
It focused on a group of people, eight or nine maybe, mixed male and female. They were young people like teenager young and they woke up in some kind of facility out in the woods with no knowledge of who they were or how they got here, in fact the cover if I recall was a picture of the characters standing there and looking at the viewer, like a movie poster.
If memory serves there was some weird shit going on with this organization, who were holding them there, but I don't recall everything about this one. Except the ending, THAT part I remember vividly.
As they began to try and escape they eventually find a bunch of files on themselves and discovery they're all clones, these files all refer to them as people who died decades ago and all of them are police files: two of them were a husband and wife bank robber team a la Bonnie and Clyde from the 1930s, one of them was a kind of serial killer, etc. They were all the result of...I don't even know, a program to clone sociopaths and make them become different people by raising them in a prison camp?
Well mission fucking accomplished, crazy corporation! Cause they put aside any previous feelings of animosity, any past emotions and just teamed up to escape into the woods at the end and this corporate type (an old woman if I recall) got a call telling her about this, and I believe she was glad, like this was their plan: to prove people were criminals by choice not destiny or something.

And that's all I recall about either, I would massively appreciate any help finding either of these because I have a feeling they were made by the same company and there were some other graphic novels like them I don't remember as vividly.
Soooo...any ideas?
