Planetary #4

This 2010 collected edition of Planetary #4 presents John Cassaday's striking monochromatic cover, rendered in cool grays and blacks, featuring a dramatic vertical composition: a looming pair of watchful eyes at the top, a shadowy winged figure above a central trio of determined characters — the Planetary team standing resolute in the foreground. Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's "Mystery in Space" promises exactly the kind of genre-bending, archaeologically minded adventure the series is known for, wrapped here in Cassaday's sleek, architectural linework. A compelling package for anyone looking to explore one of the more thoughtful superhero concepts of its era.
