Free Planet Vol. 1, from Image Comics creators Aubrey Sitterson and Jed Dougherty, collects the first six issues of this epic sci-fi space opera. Available in trade paperback November 2025, it blends intense interstellar politics, rebellion, and cinematic artwork.
The cosmic space opera Free Planet is coming to trade paperback, and sci-fi fans have a thrilling journey to look forward to. Published by Image Comics, this series is crafted by writer Aubrey Sitterson and artist Jed Dougherty. It weaves together intense interstellar politics, rebellion, and high-stakes drama in a story that has drawn comparisons to Dune, Saga, and classic Chris Claremont tales.
Set in a galaxy dominated by the authoritarian Galactic Authority, Free Planet explores the struggles of a newly independent world fighting to define freedom amid dangerous power plays. Sitterson delivers a layered narrative rich with intrigue and complex characters, while Dougherty’s dynamic, cinematic artwork brings every moment to vivid life—from starship battles to tense diplomatic encounters.
This trade paperback collects the first six issues, offering readers the perfect way to dive into the saga or catch up on a story that’s already made waves in the comic world.
Free Planet Vol. 1 will be available at comic book shops beginning Wednesday, November 26, 2025, followed by a wider release at independent bookstores and online retailers—including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones—on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
Whether you’ve been following the single issues or waiting for the collected edition, this volume is a must-have for anyone who loves ambitious, smart sci-fi storytelling.
