☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the concluding issues of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's acclaimed series, wrapping up the story of the planetary archaeologists as they confront the century's hidden conspiracies and the true nature of the Four. Titled 'Leaving the 20th Century,' it brings the team's investigation of the strange, secret history of the 1900s to a dramatic close, featuring the final revelations about Elijah Snow's past and the ultimate fate of the Planetary organization.
In "Century," Warren Ellis and John Cassaday launch a dazzling, pulp-infused mystery set in the early 20th century, where young Elijah Snow follows a trail of forgotten legends. Among the enigmatic figures he uncovers are the Invisible Man, H.G. Wells, Frankenstein’s Monster, Robor, Carnacki, Sherlock Holmes, and Dracula—each a piece of a vanished conspiracy, now missing only two: the detective and the vampire. The story unfolds with the precision of a forgotten manuscript, its art by Cassaday and colors by Laura Martin bringing a haunting, cinematic weight to every page.
In the early 1900s, a young Elijah Snow follows a trail of secrets leading to a forgotten circle of legendary figures—among them the Invisible Man, H.G. Wells, Frankenstein’s Monster, Robor, Carnacki, Sherlock Holmes, and Dracula—each a legend in their own right. But as Snow closes in on the truth, two members remain unaccounted for: the detective and the vampire.
In "Zeropoint," Elijah stumbles upon a mysterious stick that transforms into a hammer, unraveling a hidden world once destroyed by the Four to serve as a vault for their weapons. As the team confronts the Four, Elijah faces a harrowing trial when Randall Dowling forces him to endure memory blocks in a desperate bid to protect his allies.
In "Creation Songs," Elijah and Jakita track down Larissa Chase with a mission to set things right, leading them into a high-stakes journey across the globe. With the fate of the Multiverse hanging in the balance, they race to Australia to stop the Four from unleashing Dreamtime’s power—before it’s too late.
