In the shadowy corners of the late 20th Century, where the fabric of reality thins and the extraordinary bleeds into the mundane, there exists a trio unlike any other. Elijah Snow, a centenarian with a mind as cold and unforgiving as his namesake; Jakita Wagner, whose ennui is matched only by her unfathomable strength; and The Drummer, a quirky savant with the unique ability to communicate with machines. Together, they form Planetary—an enigmatic organization committed to unearthing the Earth's secret history and protecting its wonders from those who would exploit them. From the ashes of a World War II battlefield where a supercomputer breaches the boundaries of dimensions, to the eerie silence of an island haunted by monstrous ghosts, their journey is a tapestry of the bizarre and the sublime. Warren Ellis crafts a narrative that is at once a love letter to the superhero genre and a critique of its conventions, weaving a complex story that challenges the reader to reconsider the nature of heroism and adventure. Each page is a revelation, peeling back the layers of a world teeming with hidden marvels and dark conspiracies, rendered in stunning visuals that leap off the page. Planetary is not just a comic; it's an archaeological dig into the culture of pulp fiction itself, unearthing treasures that redefine the limits of science fiction and fantasy. This is a tale of discovery, of the relentless pursuit of truth by individuals who refuse to be confined by the mundane, and of the incredible legacy they strive to protect.
