Planetary #2
This second volume of the French edition of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's acclaimed series continues the exploration of a secret history of the 20th century. The mysterious team of 'archaeologists of the impossible' known as Planetary delves deeper into the hidden truths behind pop culture and science, leading them toward the enigmatic figure known as the Fourth Man. Collecting issues from the original run, this tome advances the overarching mystery of the Planetary organization and its shadowy counterparts.
In "Funérailles estivales dans les fumées londoniennes," Planetary’s team sifts through remnants of four lost travelers, each artifact a mystery: a blanket etched with alien symbols, a pair of golden bracelets, and a blue extraterrestrial lantern. As Elijah ponders their origins, the shadow of the Four looms over the quiet aftermath of their deaths. Written by Warren Ellis and Alex Nikolavitch, with art by John Cassaday and colors by Laura DePuy and David Baron, this issue blends quiet dread with the weight of forgotten histories. The cover, penciled by John Cassaday, captures the melancholy of a city cloaked in smoke.
In "Le jour où la Terre ralentit," Planetary is drawn into a chilling mystery when Allison, a woman haunted by fragmented memories, recounts the atrocities she witnessed at Cité Zéro—a secret Cold War-era facility where people vanished and endured unimaginable scientific experiments meant to push the human body to its limits. The story unfolds with a quiet dread, probing the dark legacy of forgotten experiments and the lingering trauma they left behind.
In "Magies enfuies, magies perdues," Elijah ponders the mysterious past of three artifacts recovered by Planetary’s cleanup team: a blanket etched with alien symbols, a pair of golden bracelets, and a blue alien lantern. Each belonged to one of the Four travelers whose lives ended at the hands of the very forces they once opposed.
