It includes the initial four issues of the series along with related short stories and bonus material.

In "All Over the World," Elijah Snow joins Planetary—a secretive team of mystery archeologists led by Jakita Wagner and her enigmatic partner, the Fourth Man—on their first mission: investigating a hidden man-made cavern in the Adirondacks, the final known location of the legendary 1930s and 40s adventurer Doc Brass. As the team delves into the underground labyrinth, they uncover traces of a past that defies conventional history, raising questions about what was buried—and why.
