At long last, the final volume of Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's "Planetary" has arrived in stores. Collecting the final issues of the series, #19-27, the stories here were published over a span of several years, with the final #27 coming out years after the previous issue. "Planetary" began in 1999, when Ellis was heavily involved in the original Wildstorm imprint, but has since detached (Wildstorm... more

October 06, 2009
What happens when your superheroes decide to go bad? Is it something in the water, something they ate, or something far deeper in their psyche than any of us can ever figure out? That's the premise behind this series - and what a series it is! When you look at the people that start and you being counting after a few episodes, you'll notice one thing. The number of people fighting on the side of... more

By: Warren Ellis, John Cassaday
Publisher: Wildstorm
July 13, 2010
Great book, yes. Great writer, no question. Great artist, without a doubt.
A must have for any Planetary fan but lets get real here, is there anyone out there who is willing to pay the $1000.00 price for this or any Absolute Edition of any title? If there is then let me tell you about some Florida swampland I have for sale. What are people thinking when they list items like this at such ridiculous... more

| 5. Planetary Vol. 1: All Over the World and Other Stories |
|
By: Warren Ellis
Publisher: WildStorm Productions
March 01, 2000
I keep coming back to this extraordinary story by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday. It's the ultimate post-modern comic -- basically a deconstruction of the great superhero mythology that came before it.
The series starts out with solid, almost self-contained stories, but soon it becomes obvious that Ellis is building to some grander story arc. In later issues, he continually shocks the... more

|
By: Warren Ellis, John Cassaday
Publisher: Wildstorm
July 01, 2004
I'm not one for writing a lot of reviews, but this series is so good that I can not in good conscience fail to praise it. The story, begun so skilfully in vol 1, carried on through vol 2, now continues and gladly does not end in vol 3. Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner and the Drummer continue their exploration into the secret history of the world, and we get to come along for the ride. If you are one... more

| 7. Astonishing X-Men, Vol. 2: Dangerous (v. 2) |
|
By: Joss Whedon, John Cassaday
Publisher: Marvel Comics
November 23, 2005
John Cassaday is the star here. His art is ridiculously good here. Whedon's script is good but the villain reveal is dissappointing because JOe Kelly & Steven Seagle did before, just not as good. Overall, still a good read!... more

|
By: Warren Ellis, John Cassaday
Publisher: Wildstorm
December 01, 2001
The story is awesome. The art is superb. I, however, have a huge complaint with Ellis's writing. The man cannot write a sentence to save his life. I find myself frustrated and confused more often than not. Part of this might be his work load. He may be stretching himself too thin. Moreover, whoever edits his comics (especially, on Avatar) should focus on the words and the syntax over story and... more

December 29, 2004
Joss Whedon does what Grant Morrison never did, and that is understand the X-Men. Beautiful art by Joohn Cassaday makes this book almost excellent. New villians are shown here and are interesting and uncomplicated without being simple. Really fantastic stuff that whets your appetite for the rest of their run... more

February 28, 2007
I was all on aboard for the first two trades from Whedon & Cassaday. Here however, I was taken aback by inclusion of confusion, runarounds, and conflicting ideas. It was all over the place. The only thing keeping the from being rated lower was Cassaday's art. A step back... more
