Vagrant Queen: A Planet Called Doom

Everyone’s favorite deposed-child-queen-turned-marauder, Elida Al-feyr is back! And she’s finally managed to build a happy life… until a mysterious stranger in an ancient white ship shows up and takes it all away.

The sequel to the acclaimed Vagrant Queen continues Elida’s galaxy-hopping adventures with the same winning blend of snark, heart, and cosmic chaos. When an old enemy resurfaces and threatens everything Elida has built with her frenemy Isaac, she must once again take to the stars to protect the people she loves.

They took her kingdom. She told them to keep it.

The story opens with Elida trying to lay low on the backwater planet of Crovax, far from the throne she was forced to abandon as a child. But peace never lasts in the Vagrant Queen universe. A mysterious figure in white arrives with every intention of dragging Elida back to her home planet, regardless of who stands in the way. Meanwhile, Isaac remains lost somewhere out in the cold void of space, adding urgency to an already tense situation.

Writer Magdalene Visaggio and artist Jason Smith reunite for this continuation, delivering the same dynamic storytelling that made the original series a critical darling. Visaggio’s dialogue crackles with wit while she explores themes of found family, chosen destiny, and what it means to build a life worth living. Jason Smith’s artwork brings this colorful universe to vivid life, from the dusty streets of alien markets to the gleaming corridors of ancient ships.

Colorist Harry Saxon returns to deliver the same vibrant, atmospheric coloring that made the original series a visual feast. His palette shifts seamlessly between the warm tones of Elida’s moments of happiness and the cold blues of danger and isolation, adding emotional depth to every scene.

Perfect for fans of the original Vagrant Queen, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy, and stories about scrappy outcasts against impossible odds.
