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.
