5.0 out of 5 stars
rare 21st century gem, Feb 17 2005
By Jonathan Whittle-utter "Expansion Fifth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planetary Vol. 3 - Leaving the 20th Century (Hardcover)
Beautifully drawn and conceived. Ellis takes us on stunning walks of levity and gravity, fantasy and gritty realism. One cannot help but wonder how much is imagained and how much is based on fact. He's found the line where pop-culture and reality collide ... some of his best work, certainly, and perhaps the first great comic book to define life in te 21st century.A word to the wise, though ... don't pick this volume up if you haven't read the first two ... you'll be missing out.

Things Start to Come Together, Oct 17 2006
By Andrew "Radaar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planetary Vol. 3 - Leaving the 20th Century (Hardcover)
Numerous people have told me that Planetary is one of the best comic series of the new milennium, but after reading the first two volumes, I just couldn't see what people saw in the series. It wasn't bad by any means, it just wasn't amazing. However, after rigorous recommendation by some people that I trust very much when it comes to comics, I finally picked up the third volume, and I can finally say that I see why people praise this book so much.In these 6 issues, we start to see how things are connected along with some of Elijah Snow's previous exploits, both before the formation of Planetary and as his time as the project advisor when Ambrose Chase was still on the team. Also, the team's plan to catch and stop The Four is put in motion in the 6th issue, and it is a very nice plan indeed.
To quote one of the people who kept pushing me to go on with this series, Planetary is very much a slow-burning story. Even though each issue is a stand-alone, everything is tied together; all of the main and peripheral characters are somehow connected to each other and to various places and events. Multiple reads are a must in order to get everything, but this is definitely a series that people should stick with, as it is very good, and seems to only get better.

One of the few comics that gives you a sense of wonder., Oct 10 2005
By J.J. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planetary VOL 03: Leaving the 20th Century (Paperback)
This third collection of Planetary continues the story with the high quality writing and beautiful art of the other two volumes. Planetary is an elegant piece of work of high intelligence and literate appeal. Where else would you find a story that takes place in the castle of a mad scientist one moment, ancient China for a Crouching Tiger style interlude for another moment, and still remain its own thing? Planetary well worth getting into.
