This reminds me of something that would have come out of First or Eclipse Comics in the 80's. It's about a planet's most hated criminal and how he plans to steal the planet back from the corporation who took it over. It's not bad. The art reminded my of Howard Chaykin from his American Flagg days.

Dude sold off this planet. Now he wants to steal it back, as him and his team run around said planet against the evil government/organization thing. It's got aliens! It's got weapons! It's got conspiracies and schemes! And somehow it's got "memes" as an integral part of the plan because sure why not. It's a neat little heist story, which honestly felt too slow to start and started to drag towards the end. Loved all the different designs of the characters though, the art team must have had a lot of fun designing them all.

Glen - A con man has to rectify his mistake, he has just sold a planet to a massive multinational corporation.
The planets people, aliens, hobgobs and billie birds are all angry.
He organizes a ragtag group of people (A master marksman, A disguise expert and an intelligent forger) to steal the planet.
But he has to get past assassins who use tracer bullets that can identify him by his DNA, Billie birds that can see through his disguise.
Did he steal a planet?
An entertaining heist.

I didn’t connect to this at all. Theoretically this ticks all the boxes, and I thoroughly enjoyed the superhero novel Tobin wrote, but this just didn’t do it for me.
