A full year of conflict, drama and revolution boils over in Free Planet #12. It’s the geopolitical space opera’s antepenultimate issue, with violent clashes in space, betrayals, love triangles and a shocking, brutal death.
It’s not for everyone. But if you’re ready for novelistic complexity, an expansive use of the form that must be experienced in print, a comic designed for people who like to read...
Can a free society have prisons? How do you square the freedom of the individual with the rights of the many? With security? With hunger and poverty? What concessions are necessary? Which are acceptable?
The magnificent @princejvstin ’s thoughtful, engaged and deliberate review of FREE PLANET volume 1 at the venerable Nerds of a Feather.
I’m so very proud and grateful that FREE PLANET is being recognized and appreciated by more prose-focused audiences in addition to the comics crowd.
Free Planet vol 1 is a future history of humanity’s first completely free planet, designed for study and exploration. It’s available now and eligible for Hugo Award nominations.
