"Dune fans will enjoy exploring this expansive new world." — Publishers Weekly “FREE PLANET demands to be read in a comfy chair, next to a fire, or the window of a starship, while taking in a distant supernova." — Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) The epic worldbuilding of Dune meets the romance and drama of Saga in this complex, action-packed space opera about the first completely free planet in human history.In the wake of a grueling war of independence, a team of revolutionary heroes is tasked with defending their home and its uniquely potent energy source from multiple intergalactic superpowers intent on domination. But though they are each deeply committed to the dream of a free planet, they all have completely different ideas about what complete freedom actually entails. Faced with separatist movements, counterrevolutionaries, political deadlock, famine, equipment shortages, a looming trade war, violent attacks and wildly divergent ideas of how to handle each, can true freedom endure? Informed by real-world research and extensive design work, Aubrey Sitterson (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts, Worlds’ Finest) have created a comic that functions as both literature and art object, a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence. Collects Free Planet issues #1-6.
