Penned by Aubrey Sitterson (No One Left to Fight) and illustrated by Jed Dougherty (Savage Hearts), the first issue boasts covers by Dougherty and Fico Ossio. Image Comics describes the series as follows:
Humanity's first truly free planet celebrates its hard-won independence. But a band of revolutionary heroes must now defend its unique energy source from warring intergalactic factions, all while grappling with the true meaning of freedom. SITTERSON and DOUGHERTY seamlessly blend the intricate world-building of EAST OF WEST with the emotional depth of SAGA, creating a narrative exploring freedom's price.
Sitterson states, " Free Planet represents the future of comics—Jed and I aimed to elevate the medium with a truly literary comic, rich in visual complexity." He continues, emphasizing the book's visual density and its exploration of the universal desire for freedom.
Dougherty adds, "This is our most serious collaboration yet: revolutionaries defending their planet against interstellar threats. My art reflects the script's depth, featuring grittier tones, experimental layouts, and graphical innovations."
