Free Planet #13 is on shelves today. It's your second to last chance to find the book in the wild! In the meantime, some vignettes from the tribal moot in #12: - Chief Drest - Chief Keen - Victor taking anthropological notes - An aggrieved assassin fires from the crowd!

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.
