Planetary #[1]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "Strange Harbours," Planetary uncovers a bizarre anomaly tied to the wreckage of a Hark building—only to witness Jim Wilder vanish after touching a lightning-bolt-shaped rock, reappearing transformed by a sentient interdimensional ship. The ship, stranded on Earth for eons, needs six superhumans to pilot it home, and Wilder, now one of them, enlists Planetary’s aid in finding the others.
In "4," Elijah uncovers the hidden legacy of the Four—early 1960s astronauts whose mysterious journey into space altered them forever. Once pioneers of the final frontier, they now operate in secret, hoarding advanced technology and knowledge while leaving behind a trail of violence and conspiracy.
