FREE PLANET #1 CVR A JED DOUGHERTY

Description

SERIES PREMIERE The first completely free planet in human history has won its independence. Now, a group of revolutionary heroes must defend the planet’s unique energy source from a pair of hostile intergalactic powers while determining what complete freedom actually entails. AUBREY SITTERSON (No One Left to Fight, The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling) and JED DOUGHERTY (Savage Hearts, Worlds’ Finest) blend the intricate future history of EAST OF WEST with the emotional space opera stylings of SAGA in a story about freedom and the sacrifices it demands. Early praise for FREE PLANET: ** “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. SITTERSON & DOUGHERTY are holding a masterclass in rich, intricate worldbuilding that is equal parts Dune, Claremont, and SAGA while being wholly original.” —ROBERT KIRKMAN (INVINCIBLE,_ _THE WALKING DEAD) “One of the hardest parts of making a comic book is the intense task of worldbuilding. FREE PLANET shrugs off that pressure, fully fleshed out for characters to explore and readers to witness, proving that AUBREY and JED have what it takes to bring you to a place completely new and totally refreshing." —DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (TRANSFORMERS,** THE MOON IS FOLLOWING US**) "With notes of Warhammer 40k and Firefly,_ FREE PLANET _is lusciously rendered, dense, political sci-fi with a lot to say." —KIERON GILLEN (THE POWER FANTASY,** THE WICKED + THE DIVINE**)
