Free Planet #9

A defiant figure clutching a submachine gun stands against a mural reading "FREE TO STARVE," with armored soldiers and a grain distribution sign visible in the background — a cover that captures the series' sharp political tension in vivid, textured strokes. This ninth issue from Sitterson, Dougherty, Astone, and Esposito continues to deliver the kind of charged, street-level sci-fi that makes Free Planet one of Image's more thought-provoking 2026 offerings. If the series has been on your radar, this cover alone makes a compelling case to catch up.
