I have just finished drawing 12 issues of a comic series: Free Planet from Image Comics. Written by @aubreysitterson.com art by myself and colorist Vittorio Astone. imagecomics.com/comics/serie...

Free Planet issue 2 page 6, showing the Aegis spacestation orbiting the the free world of Lutheria. Inset panels show Commander Sunadez stressing out over the station's poor state of repair and new team member Jackson Crater volunteering his underworld contacts as a source for replacement parts.
The large image of the spacestation is festooned with labels calling out problematic systems and devices.

Free Planet #2 page 13.
Showing our heroes docking with and negotiating the passageways of The Wreck, an independent deep space habitat that serves as a black market for all manner of illegal commerce and service in the shadows of the Interplanetary Development Agency. The large main panel shows a birds-eye view of the interior, with our heroes appearing multiple times as they thread their way through the Wreck's docks, bars, rescue missions, private security outposts, brothels, soup kitchens, bars, and second hand markets.

Free Planet #2 page 19:
Showing our heroes' skin of their teeth exit from the The Wreck.
Priestesses Hora and Fweha argue over the methods employed in their botched foray into the criminal underworld, but they are interrupted by the entry of Jackson (pursued by security forces).
Keen fends off the hired goons with gunfire, and Fweha and Hora launch the Hauler out of the landing bay, while continuing to argue the ethical ramifications of their botched arms deal/shopping trip with Jackson.

I'm fascinated by Kyle Baker's brief inking career. I think he was cranking to keep the lights on as he launched his brilliant career as a writer/artist, and it shows. But Kyle's genius as a cartoonist shines through and brings out something great & unique. Here he is over John Byrne on Avengers.

Really enjoy seeing what kind of influences folks identify in Free Planet. They're generally all over the place because of our effort to pull from foundational, profoundly influential scifi prose, especially Cordwainer Smith and Robert Heinlein. (I've never even seen DS9 but I know it's beloved!)

The other book I read this weekend was Aubrey Sitterson and Jed Dougherty’s Free Planet. Easily one of the most inventive new Sci-Fi texts I’ve chanced across, even if it does wear its influences (40k, DS9, Dune) on its sleeve.
