Colonus

In this 2016 one-shot from Dark Horse, writer Ken Pisani and artist Arturo Lauria present a satirical sci-fi tale set in a distant future where humanity has colonized a distant planet—only to replicate the same petty squabbles and bureaucratic absurdities of Earth. The story follows a disgruntled colonist who, fed up with the colony's ridiculous rules, decides to secede and form his own nation, sparking a bizarre conflict. A sharp, character-driven commentary on tribalism and governance, Colonus uses its single-issue format to deliver a compact, thought-provoking punch.
