Free Planet Vol. 2

(W) Aubrey Sitterson (A) Jed Dougherty

The critically acclaimed space opera returns, with more sci-fi military action, intense interpersonal drama and complex geopolitical maneuvering than ever before.

The first completely free planet in human history has successfully carved out a space between rival galactic superpowers: a corporate-dominated oligarchy and a bellicose, authoritarian empire. But as the revolutionary heroes of the Freedom Guard attempt to defend the planet from threats external, they must also contend with food riots, domestic terrorism, rebellious indigenous populations, separatist movements, skirmishes over resources and a neighboring planet’s desperate pleas for help, all as the team’s tenuous bonds threaten to splinter over a single, deceptively simple question: “What does true freedom actually entail?”

Designed to function as both literature and art object, AUBREY SITTERSON (The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, No One Left to Fight) and JED DOUGHERTY (Savage Hearts, Worlds’ Finest) have harnessed extensive real-world research and design work to craft a rumination on freedom, the sacrifices it demands, the discipline it requires and the authority that must arise in its absence.

Co-creator and artist JED DOUGHERTY re-teams with writer AUBREY SITTERSON to kick off a new six-issue story arc picking up right where their FREE PLANET, VOL. 1 left off in the geopolitical space opera that everyone’s talking about.

Under a crushing embargo, the people of Lutheria are starving and lashing out in violent food riots. As the Freedom Guard faces the grim reality of turning its weapons on its own citizens, one conflicted soldier considers a desperate act of treason that could shatter Lutheria’s hard-won independence.

Free Planet has sold out and heads back to print

Posted on by

Writer Aubrey Sitterson and artist Jed Dougherty have launched a hit in their debut series Free Planet on shelves today. The premier issue of this highly anticipated space opera series has sold out completely at the distributor level—day of release—and is being rushed back to print in order to keep up with the breakneck speed of reorder activity. 

Free Planet is a story about freedom and the sacrifices it demands and is perhaps best described as a kaleidoscopic blend of the emotional space opera stylings of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga set against the intricate speculative history and political machinations of Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta’s East of West.

The first completely free planet in human history has won its independence. In Free Planet, readers follow a group of revolutionary heroes who must defend the planet’s unique energy source from a pair of hostile intergalactic powers while determining what complete freedom actually entails.

Free Planet #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0325IM873) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 4.
