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

| 2. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1: The Absolute Edition |

By: Alan Moore
Publisher: Wildstorm
July 01, 2003
I read a few of the bad reviews here as I always do first off to get the lay of the land and most of them seem to have a problem with the morality of the story and the art work. To me this is strange as the art work is it's strength and I didn't find the whole thing particularly immoral though the invisible man character is amoral but is meant to be so... ?!?

| 3. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier | 
|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: WildStorm
November 04, 2008
This is a significant shift away from the two earlier LEG books, as one might expect (based on the ending of the second). Here, Moore testing the boundaries of his own genre and playing games with the comic book medium. My favorite portion was the 'Forrest-Gump'-esque character who travels through the annals of empire and history--Orlando. Overall, less action and more careful, conceptual thought than... more

Publisher: Wildstorm

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

By: Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill
Publisher: Wildstorm
September 01, 2004
Another volume of masterful play--Moore does an excellent job develop his characters in new and interesting ways. The entrance of extraterrestrial invaders seems a little odd, but it's handled really well by the author. If you're really fond of any characters, consider skipping this title: they suffer odd and unexpected fates. ... more

Brian K. Vaughan, Ex Machina vol. 8: Dirty Tricks (Wildstorm, 2010)
If there is a problem with Dirty Tricks, the eighth volume of Vaughan's wonderful series Ex Machina, it is hubris. Vaughan is pushing not only Mitchell Hundred's boundaries here (though to be fair, it's no place we didn't suspect Vaughan was headed), but also his own. And while he is up to the task--I would believe Vaughan... more

| 8. 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
Publisher: Wildstorm
April 01, 2005
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
