Comic's Buyer's Guuide No.1597: '"John Cassaday's beautifully ltextured linework."- Jim Johnson; Go! Essex Chronicle: " A multi-layered, challenging piece of work which gets even better with repeat reading."
Product Description
Their existence is a secret buried under riddles and conspiracies, their sponsor an utter mystery (even to them), and their mission as diverse and complex as the universe itself. Elijah Snow initiates part of his plan to stop the mysterious Four, makes a startling revelation about his past AND uncovers information on the world's first space launch...in 1851. As more secrets crumble, more mysteries rise to take their place! From the twisted mind of massively popular scribe Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Global Frequency, The Authority) and artist par excellence John Cassaday (Hellboy: Weird Tales) comes a foray into the myriad riddles of our universe.

This is what happens when a full-length motion picture gets stuffed between the covers of a book!!, Jan 16 2010
By anthony tucker "envys'favorite target" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planetary: Leaving the 20th Century (Paperback)
This particular book essentially BLEW my mind when I first read it!! Warren Ellis has got to be THE most imaginative/clever guy in the entire GALAXY!! As an avid Japanese Monster movie fan and the biggest"Super Friends" fan also,this book even had THAT type of stuff included in its' epic storyline!!Reading only a 3rd of the way through this book will have you desperately reaching/searching around yourself for a bucket of POPCORN!! Yes this book is just THAT good!! One of the most memorable lines of this book(which is CRAMMED with witty dialogue and"disturbing"quips)was when a(shrivelled,wierd-looking)man was discovered(who'd spent his entire life standing guard/vigil over an ULTIMATELY powerful device to ensure that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands)and was asked by the"field team"what had he been eating,and how had he sustained himself in such a sparse/barren enviroment for all these years hidden in a cave high in the Adirondacks,he calmly,matter-of-factly answered::"I eliminated my bodies need for food back in 1937." That was GREAT!! The entire book is full of"clever"remarks like so... Also if you like your movies to include a gorgeous woman,then you'll find that Jakita Wagner is HOT!!! Jakita is"bringing Brunettes BACK"!! Not only just a"babe"but she is also"bad",as she nonchalantly explains how she once drop-kicked a RHINOCEROUS across the Grand Canyon!! Then goes on to state how an"old man"(who quote"irritated the crap out of me.")was"scheduled"to be the next in line to traverse the Grand Canyon in such a fashion!! Believe me:Comics don't GET any better than this,and comics aren't just for kids anymore!! It actually REQUIRES a mature/profound adult mind to even begin to actually appreciate the creativity and thought that went into this book!!Whats more John Cassaday illustrates each page so expertly that the characters seem poised to jump off of the pages,and into your living room!! Get this book YESTERDAY!! You'll be INSTANTLY hooked"and find yourself looking under a ROCK trying to find some more Planetary adventures!! This is the acme of comicdom!!
Listmania!
