Planetary #20

Planetary #20 arrives in 2004 with one of the WildStorm line's most quietly unsettling covers: a luminous, sickly-green eye stares out from within a dark triangle, ghostly human faces half-dissolved in the surrounding radiance. John Cassaday's cover design is hypnotic — equal parts scientific diagram and fever dream — perfectly in tune with the series' tone of strange discovery. With Warren Ellis writing and Laura Martin's otherworldly color work throughout, "Rendezvous" promises exactly the kind of issue that keeps readers coming back.
