IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read!

A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday.

Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it

🔴 iteatsplanets.com 🔴

A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too.

In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun.

A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky.

A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above.

On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.

What is Nighthawks? It's a vampire game where the vampires have been exposed to the world... but it's also different in tone from most. Vampire games tend to be cold and cynical, but this time, being a light in the darkness can be the real adventure.

The secret is out. Vampires have been exposed to the world… and you’re one of them. Seize the night as a modern monster, stepping out of the shadows to build a thriving nightclub empire through fear, ...

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.

Imagine talking to my child self and being like "oh yeah in 2025 videogames can have entire 3D worlds bigger than GTA with photo realistic graphics. They just released one about being a wandering onna-musha with sword fighting n that. Anyway the best game this year might be a new Golden Axe"

Samantha Mackenzie Greer @sammgreer.bsky.social · 1d

Absolum is so cool. It's exciting to see a new entry in a genre that's been around basically for as long as I've been alive that both feels fresh and could also lay claim to being the best of these I've ever played.

Deffo the Japanese. Delivery is better, feels more authentic. Really nails that occasional quintessential uncanny Silent Hill quality too. Really good stuff
