Planetoid is a comic first released in June 2012 by Image Comics, written and drawn by Ken Garing. The main character is Silas, a deserter turned space pirate who ends up the sole survivor of his crew and crashes on a planetoid in alien territory, where he must fight off various mechanical creatures, cyborg militias, and the alien military which has a bounty on him.[1] [2]
In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Garing stated that he spent years working at improvements on Planetoid, then at a convention showed it to Image, who agreed to publish it.[3] The first story arc is a 5-issue mini-series. The story is intended to continue to unfold in further mini-series and one-shots.[4]
It was originally a miniseries available digitally through Graphicly.[5]
A second monthly miniseries, Planetoid: Praxis, began in February 2017. It ran for six issues.[6]
Ain't It Cool News calls it "richly and beautifully illustrated" and states that Garing can make "beautiful art and an engaging story".[7] Multiversity Comics praised "Ken Garing’s excellent artistic style" and calls him an "excellent sequential storyteller."[8]
