Planetary has been hailed as a timeless story that turned modern
superhero conventions on their heads.Written by Warren Ellis
(Transmetropolitan) 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.
All 27 issues of the Planetary original series are collected in this
hardbound omnibus edition.
