About this Collection

This volume collects the first seven issues of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's acclaimed series, introducing a team of 'archaeologists of the unknown' who investigate the secret history of the 20th century's pop culture and hidden science. The stories range from encounters with ghostly astronauts to a battle against a monstrous version of a classic pulp hero, all while the team uncovers the machinations of a shadowy conspiracy known as The Four.

In "All Over The World," Warren Ellis and John Cassaday launch a bold new chapter in Planetary’s mission as the team investigates the wreckage of a Hark building—only to witness Jim Wilder vanish after touching a lightning-bolt-shaped rock. He returns transformed, now bound to a sentient interdimensional ship that crash-landed eons ago and seeks six superhumans to help it return home. With Planetary’s aid, Wilder begins a global search, setting off a journey that stretches across realities and redefines what it means to be extraordinary. The issue’s striking cover by John Cassaday captures the moment of transformation with haunting precision.

While investigating the destruction of a Hark building, Planetary watches as Jim Wilder -a Hark investigator- steps on a large lightning-bolt shaped rock and disappears. He returns transformed into a superhuman by a sentient ship designed to transverse alternate universes. The ship crash-landed on earth millions of years ago and has asked Wilder for help getting home. Wilder agrees to help and search out the other six superhumans needed to pilot the ship, with Planetary’'s help.
