Free Planet, written by Aubrey Sitterson (No One Left to Fight) and illustrated by Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts), boasts covers by Dougherty and Fico Ossio. Image's official synopsis:
Humanity's first truly free planet celebrates its hard-won independence. Now, revolutionary heroes must safeguard the planet's unique energy source from hostile intergalactic forces, all while grappling with the true meaning of freedom. SITTERSON and DOUGHERTY masterfully fuse the intricate history of EAST OF WEST with the emotional depth of SAGA in a narrative exploring freedom's cost.
Sitterson shares, " Free Planet represents the future of comics, Jed and I striving to elevate our medium with a truly literary comic, its rich complexity brought to life visually. From intense military action to complex geopolitical maneuvering and poignant personal drama, every page is packed with detail; it's a book designed for slow, repeated readings. It's a profound exploration of what everyone desires, regardless of their political stance: Freedom. Its home at Image Comics, a publisher built on granting creators the freedom to produce their most personal work, is fitting."
Dougherty adds, "Aubrey and I have collaborated on fantasy and comedic works. Free Planet marks our foray into a more serious project: revolutionaries defending their planet's resources against interstellar threats. Mirroring the intricate script, my art style incorporates grittier tones and experimental page layouts and graphics. The diverse cast of characters has come alive as I've depicted their battles on land and in space, their societal rebuilding, and their quests for vengeance, justice, and even love."
Free Planet #1 launches Wednesday, May 7.
