Overview

Planetary has been hailed as a timeless story that turned modern superhero conventions on their heads.Written by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) and with stunning art by John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men), this critically acclaimed, landmark series took a look at the inter-dimensional peace-keeping force known as Planetary. The trio on the ground includes Elijah Snow, a hundred-year-old man, Jakita Wagner, an extremely powerful woman, and The Drummer, a man with the ability to communicate with machines. Tasked with tracking down evidence of super-human activity, these mystery archaeologists uncover unknown paranormal secrets and histories, such as a World War II supercomputer that can access other universes, a ghostly spirit of vengeance, and a lost island of dying monsters.

  • Archaeologists of the Impossible!

    Evan D. - 3 years ago

    Planetary is a series of 24 one-shot stories, each taking on a different aspect of pulp literature as only comics mastermind Warren Ellis could conceive. The creations of Burroughs, Doyle, Stoker, Kirby / Lee, and more are included in an adventure unparalleled. For the first time, the entire series is collected in an Omnibus volume. The omnibus also includes the spin-off one-shot issues, "Batman vs. Planetary, Planetary vs. JLA, and Planetary / Authority." "Batman vs. Planetary" is one of the best issues of the series as a whole, so having it collected in the context of the rest of the story is a special treat.
