Planetary #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the early issues of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's acclaimed DC/WildStorm series, presenting the first story arc in which a trio of 'archaeologists of the impossible'—Jakita Wagner, Elijah Snow, and the Drummer—investigate hidden secrets and strange phenomena across the globe, setting the stage for their larger mission to uncover the true history of the 20th century. 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.
In "Strange Harbours," Planetary investigates the wreckage of a Hark building when Jim Wilder vanishes after touching a lightning-bolt-shaped rock—only to return transformed by a sentient interdimensional ship. Now bound to the ship’s mission, Wilder seeks six other superhumans to help pilot it home, with Planetary aiding in the search across hidden corners of the world.
In "4," Elijah uncovers the shocking truth behind the Four—early 1960s astronauts whose spaceflight altered them in ways that turned them into the antithesis of Planetary. Once pioneers of the cosmos, they now hoard forbidden knowledge and technology, leaving behind a quiet but deadly trail of violence and secrecy.
