Planetary / JLA

In this 2003 one-shot from MG Publishing, Warren Ellis and Christian Langhagen script a meeting between two of comics' most formidable teams, with Jerry Ordway providing the art. The story bridges the reality-hopping archaeologists of Planetary with the iconic heroes of the Justice League of America, exploring how these different corners of the superhero universe might intersect. It's a thoughtful, self-contained crossover that showcases the tonal contrast and thematic resonance between Ellis's deconstructionist epic and the classic DC pantheon.
