Free Planet #7

Free Planet #7 is a standalone interlude in the critically acclaimed geopolitical science-fiction series following the planet Thouros and its entanglement with interstellar powers. In this one-shot, cocreator Aubrey Sitterson teams with Ilias Kyriazis and Vittorio Astone to trace Thouros' millennia-long history of war and its ultimate absorption by the Interplanetary Development Alliance. This issue—cover A by Jed Dougherty—offers a compact, accessible entry point for new readers while expanding the ongoing political intrigue that has defined the series. At 32 pages of sharp scripting, dynamic art, and bold worldbuilding, the story acts as the first installment of the EXPANSION PROTOCOLS, a two-part arc designed to broaden the saga without requiring prior installments. Expect a brisk, character-driven narrative, claustrophobic space politics, and striking visuals that balance spectacle with thoughtful geopolitics.
